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.

ENR Rankings: Black & Veatch Among Global Infrastructure Leaders As Decarbonization, Resiliency and Sustainability Solutions Drive Growth

By: 3BL Media

Strong showings in power, telecommunications and water rankings highlight company’s prominent role in critical infrastructure development

DESCRIPTION:

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., May 2, 2022 /3BL Media/ – Underscoring its leadership in helping clients achieve advanced decarbonization, sustainability and resilience solutions, Black & Veatch announces that the Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) latest “Top 500 Design Firms” Sourcebook ranks it among the world’s leaders in power, telecommunications and water.

ENR’s rankings are based on revenue from the company’s global operations. The Top 500 Design Firms Sourcebook ranked Black & Veatch’s power business No. 2 for the seventh consecutive year. Black & Veatch remained in the top 10 for telecommunications and water, cementing the company’s standing as an expert in solving humanity’s critical human infrastructure challenges.

“As the megatrends shaping the world rely on engineering and construction solutions, we are working with our clients to embrace innovation and deliver the integrated sustainability, reliability and resilience outcomes that help them achieve their goals,” said Steve Edwards, Black & Veatch’s CEO.

The latest ENR rankings come on the heels of Black & Veatch’s recent transformation of its key management and operational structures, intent on meeting the more integrated infrastructure needs of its expanding client base. The transformation was designed with sustainability-driven global megatrends such as electrification, decarbonization, digitization and resilience in mind, serving an increasingly diverse client base ranging from Fortune 1000 companies to utilities, developers and local, state and national governments.

The company said the past year has shown that the definition of -- and demand for -- critical infrastructure services and solutions has continued to evolve.

“Our strong showing in this year’s rankings reflects how our organizational transformation allows us to deliver more comprehensive solutions and value to our clients as they face complex issues such as the energy transition, repowering of the power industry, water scarcity, and connecting and securing society,” Edwards said.

Black & Veatch continues to drive innovation across critical infrastructure markets:

  • Black & Veatch served as owner’s engineer on a massive, $320-million effort to bolster Atlanta’s strained water supply – a project that recently won top honors as the Engineering News-Record’s water and wastewater global and Southeast project of the year. The 2021 “award of merit” in the publication’s yearly “Global Best Projects” contest recognizes the repurposing of a former rock quarry as a 2.4-billion-gallon raw water storage site for eventual use as drinking water in the city.
  • With alternative fuels offering new solutions for a carbon-free future, the company – a member of the global Hydrogen Council – is serving as the owner’s engineer for the   effort to retire its original coal-fueled facility in Utah and replace it with an 840-megawatt natural gas-fueled combined cycle power plant in 2025. The project marks one of the earliest installations of combustion turbine technology designed to use a high percentage of green hydrogen. Black & Veatch also recently was named the EPC contractor for what will become the world’s biggest industrial green hydrogen production and storage facility, adjacent to the IPA power plant.
  • Black & Veatch led the design and construction of a first-of-its-kind public charging station focused on larger-scale vehicle charging needs that last September earned honorable mention in the sustainability category of Fast Company magazine’s 2021 “Innovation by Design” awards. Known as “Electric Island,” the high-capacity charging station in Portland, Oregon, for medium-and heavy-duty commercial electric vehicles is a collaboration between Daimler Trucks North America and Portland General Electric.
  • Black & Veatch also provided analysis of carbon-neutrality projects to inform the Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s (SMUD) “2030 Zero Carbon Plan.” The team of management consultants performed an assessment of technologies that included biomass and biogas, carbon sequestration and storage, geothermal energy, long-duration energy storage, onshore and offshore wind, renewable hydrogen and solar PV that will accelerate the energy transition for SMUD’s more than 1.5 million customers.
  • In addition, the company continues to provide extensive services to the U.S. government, including participation in the seven-year, $800 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) for architectural, engineering and other services to support the growing global mission of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
