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.

Enhancements Being Made At Illinois American Water’s Plant In Pontiac

New backwash storage lagoon and new pumps highlight $3.4 million investment in delivering clean, safe and reliable drinking water to the Pontiac District.

Illinois American Water continues to invest in the infrastructure of its water treatment plant in the Pontiac District. Two important projects are underway:

High Service Pump Replacement

This project replaces four existing high-service pumps that have reached the end of their useful life with three new pumps that are appropriately sized to efficiently serve the Pontiac water supply system. The new pumps will allow the water treatment plant to provide a wide variety of flow rates to match the needs of the community.

According to Corey Robinson, Illinois American Water Superintendent of Pontiac Operations, “The new pumps will operate more efficiently than the existing pumps and reduce the amount of maintenance needed to operate the pumps.”

Union employees of G.A. Rich and Sons of Deer Creek are performing the work.

Construction started in 2024 and is expected to be complete by the end of 2024 or early 2025. The approximate project cost is $1.7 million.

Backwash Lagoon Improvements

This project will construct an additional backwash storage lagoon to allow for improved operations of the water filters and allow for more efficient removal of material from the lagoons during maintenance operations. The project is currently in the design phase.

Construction is expected to begin in late 2024 with completion anticipated for the first quarter of 2025. Project cost is an estimated $1.7 million.

Brent O’Neill, Illinois American Water Director of Engineering said, “There is nothing more important than the quality of the water we deliver to our customers’ taps and the communities we serve. This is why we continuously work to upgrade technology and treatment processes to deliver clean, safe and reliable drinking water.”

“2024 marks the 25th year that Illinois American Water has owned, operated and maintained the water system in Pontiac,” said O’Neill. “We continue to invest strategically in the Pontiac water system, with a focus on quality water and service.”

According to O’Neill, Illinois American Water not only meets EPA drinking water guidelines, but the company “provides water quality that exceeds local requirements.” He added, “Our customers trust us with a critical service. We take our responsibility seriously and are proud to deliver high-quality drinking water.”
