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.

Veolia wins environmental awards for decarbonization and biodiversity projects at Arkansas hazardous waste treatment site

  • Awards recognize Veolia for sustainability initiatives at the company’s hazardous waste treatment plant in Gum Springs, Arkansas
  • Recognition focused on a 5-megawatt solar panel installation which will supply electricity to a new thermal incinerator, set to open later this year
  • Over the next 25 years, the solar panels and other sustainability innovations at the facility will lead to a 90% reduction in Scope two carbon emissions from electricity consumption

Veolia, the largest provider of environmental services in the world, recently received industry awards for a series of sustainability initiatives at the company’s hazardous waste treatment facility in Gum Springs, Arkansas — particularly the installation of a solar panel installation covering over 30 acres.

Over the next 25 years, the solar panels and other sustainability innovations at the facility will lead to a 90% reduction in Scope two carbon emissions from electricity consumption compared to similar facilities consuming 100% of their electricity from the current Arkansas grid. This system for locally based energy decarbonization is a key booster for Veolia’s global GreenUp strategy for growth and innovation, leading to greater sustainability for customers and communities.

The work being done by Veolia at Gum Springs was singled out by two leading environmental publications – Energy + Environment Leader and Climate Change Business Journal – in making the hazardous waste industry more environmentally sustainable and operationally efficient.

  • Energy + Environment Leader recognized the Veolia Gum Springs initiatives with a Project of the Year Award for 2024. "Every year, our judges look to recognize the businesses that are truly moving the needle and striving for sustainability and operational efficiency," said Kay Harrison, Vice President and head of the E+E Leader Awards program, adding that the Veolia initiatives reflect “the kind of forward-thinking strategies and technologies that companies need to stay ahead in an increasingly complex energy and environmental landscape."
  • Climate Change Business Journal recognized the Veolia Gum Springs project with an annual Business Achievement Award for outstanding business performance and achievement in the climate change industry. The publication applauded Veolia’s “applied innovation focus on operations and sustainability.”

The solar project is one of many pioneering sustainability initiatives at the Gum Springs facility including:

  • A forest management program, covering over 1,000 acres surrounding the facility, which includes over 600 acres of active reforestation and the planting of 124,000 trees in 2025.
  • A first-of-its-kind innovation for capturing heat to generate electricity. This feature will make use of a 7-megawatt steam turbine to generate power.
  • Advanced technologies for monitoring wildlife and biodiversity near the facility. In partnership with the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, a cutting-edge LEKO (Light Emission and Kinetic Observation) biodiversity monitoring tool is installed on the property, using sensors to listen, identify and count species in the surrounding habitat.

The solar installation was completed in 2024, utilizing advanced technology for improved energy production output. Additionally, a single-axis tracker racking system was employed to provide maximum electricity generation during daylight hours by tracking the sun’s movement from east to west across the sky. Environmental benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, reduced pollution and greater energy independence.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized by these industry outlets and organizations for the sustainability work we are doing at Gum Springs,” said Bob Cappadona, President and CEO of Veolia North America’s Environmental Solutions and Services business. “These initiatives demonstrate Veolia's vision for creating a brighter future for the hundreds of communities in the U.S. under our three pillars: depollution, decarbonization and preserving essential resources in waste, water and energy. Veolia’s GreenUp strategy hinges on a commitment to providing innovative solutions for environmental challenges, as demonstrated through the work and vision being carried out at Gum Springs.”

Last year, the Gum Springs sustainability projects were recognized with the Diamond Award for environmental leadership from the Arkansas Environmental Federation.
