About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

From Cows to Kilowatts: Black & Veatch Awarded EPC Project To Convert Dairy Farm Manure Into Renewable Natural Gas

By: 3BL Media

Engineering and construction leader to design-build system to curb dairy farm greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously creating a new revenue stream based on sustainable fuel.

DESCRIPTION:

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 18, 2022 /3BL Media/ – Although dairy is a dietary staple in many American households, it can be hard on the environment due to the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) produced from dairy farms. To address this, Black & Veatch has partnered with Amp Americas to develop an engineering, procurement and construction project that turns cow manure into renewable natural gas (RNG).

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, methane is a powerful GHG, one that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere, contributing directly to climate change. The International Energy Agency estimates that annual global methane emissions are around 570 million tonnes. Full-scale decarbonization will require innovative solutions to curb or reuse emissions current industrial processes — agriculture included.

“We chose Black & Veatch as our EPC partner for the Lafayette County facility because their experience in developing decarbonization solutions for industrial facilities aligns perfectly with our sustainable vision,” said Martin Gilkes, chief operating officer at Amp Americas. “Their expertise directly supports our efforts to harvest energy from waste materials, accelerating the global transition to renewable fuels.”

Amp Americas develops, owns and operates on-farm dairy RNG projects that produce carbon-negative RNG and prevent GHG emissions. Black & Veatch will leverage its extensive engineering, procurement and construction management expertise to design and build a new on-site facility in Lafayette County, Wisconsin for Amp Americas that will use anaerobic digestion to convert manure into RNG, which can then be marketed as a carbon-negative fuel to large fleet customers.

“As the nation continues to work toward its 2050 decarbonization target, curbing GHG emissions from waste materials and creating new sources of low- and zero-carbon renewable fuels will be absolutely imperative,” said Doug Miller, vice president and managing director of fuels for Black & Veatch. “We are excited to be part of the team for this project, and to design and supply innovative solutions that will support Amp Americas as they pursue their goals. We look forward to our partnership together as additional waste-to-RNG facilities are developed.”
