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.

HSGS-Ameresco LLC Awarded Contract to Construct 6.25MW Solar Generation Plant at Military Ocean Terminal Concord

Hannah Solar Government Services- and Ameresco Secure Contract through Joint Venture to bolster Military Ocean Terminal Concord’s emergency preparedness and support mission critical activities.

HSGS-Ameresco, LLC, a joint venture certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business by the Small Business Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs, today announced it has been awarded a contract for the construction of a 6.25MW backup power generation plant and underground transmission lines at Military Ocean Terminal Concord (MOTCO) in Concord, California.

The MOTCO generation plant will consist of an array of three generators designed to provide approximately 6.25 MW of capacity. The array will also include a 2 MW load bank, 1200-amp switchgear and 72,000 gallon capacity fuel storage tanks, which is designed to sustain a 14-day supply of fuel. In addition to the generation plant, the project will see the installation of approximately 12,000 linear feet of underground duct bank with 500 kcmil power distribution conductors.

This underground infrastructure will be constructed, involving trenching and direct-burying of PVC conduit, installing electrical lines and manholes, and affixing duct bank conduit and conductors underneath an existing vehicle bridge. The project will culminate in an integration with the existing electrical infrastructure on the installation, which features a break-before-make interconnection to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company utility grid.

"We're thrilled to be selected to construct and enhance the reliability of MOTCO's energy infrastructure," said Dave McNeil, President and CEO of HSGS-Ameresco. "We take great pride in providing the right and needed measures to supply energy resilience for this important military facility."

The initiative is made possible through funding from the Department of Defense's Energy Resilience and Conservation Investment Program (ERCIP), which is funds projects that improve energy resilience, contribute to mission assurance, save energy and reduce DoD's energy costs.

"This project is a testament to HSGS-Ameresco’s commitment to enhancing energy resilience for critical facilities," said Nicole Bulgarino, Ameresco EVP and General Manager of Federal Solutions. "The construction of this generation plant helps ensure non-interrupted mission critical activities and ensures energy resilience for the military personnel on the base.”

Launched in August 2021 between Hannah Solar Government Services and Ameresco, the HSGS-Ameresco joint venture was facilitated as part of the SBA Mentor Protégé Program, which helps eligible small businesses, known as protégés, gain exposure and win government contracts through partnerships with more experienced companies, referred to as mentors. By establishing a joint venture, HSGS has had the continued opportunity to grow as an energy provider by learning from the Ameresco team, which is composed of an experienced group of government contractors.

Construction is to begin in January 2024 and is expected to reach completion in early 2026.
