One Way to Handle a Worker Shortage: Get Manufacturers To Do Your Work For You
It’s not a secret that the construction industry is facing a significant
labor shortage. Even with wages on the rise, contractors are challenged
to find qualified workers. In February, Associated Builders and
Contractors reported the industry needed to hire almost 650,000
additional workers on top of the normal pace of hiring in 2022 to meet
the existing labor demand.

The commercial building sector has taken a hit the last few years,
thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, in ways that could last for at least a

You're likely cognizant of the NEC® regulations for each area. It's not

office for clarification.

that are often called gutters. But they're raceways nonetheless.

Electrical wiring must run through all kinds of hazardous environments,

obvious settings, like chemical plants and refineries as well as
possibly less-obvious applications in coastal regions where salt spray
can be an issue.

Having Trouble Cabling Long Conduit Runs? Go Fish!
Fishing electrical and fiber optic cable from one end of a conduit to
the other is a regular chore for contractors in both new construction
and renovation/upgrade assignments. But because every job presents its
own challenges, not every fishing project can be approached in the same
way.
