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.

Ameresco Partners with City of Hurst, Texas to Replace Aging Water Meter Technology and Improve Efficiency

By: via Business Wire

The over $9 million project involves the replacement of residential and commercial water meters along with the installation of a customer portal

Ameresco, Inc. (NYSE: AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition, announced its partnership with the City of Hurst. This collaboration aims to install water meters and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) technology, significantly enhancing the city's water management capabilities and ensuring more efficient, accurate, and transparent water usage data for its residents.

Collaborating with the City of Hurst, TX, Ameresco is replacing residential and commercial water meters and introducing a customer portal, ensuring efficient and modern water management for the community.

Collaborating with the City of Hurst, TX, Ameresco is replacing residential and commercial water meters and introducing a customer portal, ensuring efficient and modern water management for the community.

The project kicked off in February 2024 with various field surveys, meter testing, and data analysis; with all results being included in Ameresco’s investment grade audit (IGA) report performed on city-operated water metering infrastructure in August 2024. Since then, the Ameresco team has begun conducting lead-line and copper surveys to meet EPA requirements, coordinating all software integrations, and collecting sub-meter GPS coordinates for all residential and commercial accounts in preparations for mass meter deployment to start in May 2025.

The project involves a system-wide upgrade, including new AMI technology to improve efficiency and allow customers to monitor their daily water consumption through a web-based customer portal. This project also includes required ancillary materials such as meter boxes, shutoff valves, bolts and gaskets, as well as an engagement communication plan to help inform businesses and residents of the upcoming work.

“Updating the water meter technology represents a strategic step forward by the City. It will provide regular and periodic data to help customers monitor their usage, conserve water, and make more informed decisions on their water usage. Additionally, the new system will help the City better understand and manage its water resources,” said Clayton Fulton, Assistant City Manager of Hurst. “We appreciate Ameresco’s partnership on this endeavor and are grateful for their ongoing support of the project.”

According to the EPA, the average American family can waste as much as 9,400 gallons of water annually. When 40 out of 50 U.S. state water managers anticipate water shortages in some parts of their state over the next decade, saving wasted gallons can significantly impact preserving water resources. New technology allows cities to better understand their overall water usage and adjust accordingly to prevent and mitigate water shortages and droughts.

"We're thrilled to be partnering with the City of Hurst in installing this cutting-edge technology, designed to enhance water conservation efforts, reduce waste and provide residents with greater control and transparency related to their water consumption,” said Louis Maltezos, President of Central & Western USA, Canada Regions at Ameresco. “By integrating near real-time data, we're helping the city build a more efficient, resilient water system that will benefit their community for years to come.”

In conjunction with this exciting project, representatives from Ameresco and the City of Hurst will attend the Smart Cities Connect Conference and Expo April 14-16, 2025, in San Antonio, TX, and discuss this project in a breakout panel.
