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.

Rio Tinto invests to modernise century-old hydroelectric power plant in Quebec

Rio Tinto is investing US$1.2 billion (CA$1.7 billion) to modernise its Isle-Maligne hydroelectric power plant, commissioned in 1926 in Alma, Quebec. This is Rio Tinto’s largest single investment in its hydroelectric assets since the 1950s.

The power plant modernisation is essential to secure the future of low-carbon aluminium production in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, supporting the jobs of employees across the region. It will allow Rio Tinto to protect its assets for the long term, ensure a more efficient, safe and reliable power supply of renewable energy to smelters, casting houses and other facilities, and maintain safe operations for its employees and the community.

The project will run until 2032, with an estimation of more than 300 people working on the site at its peak. It includes replacing eight turbine-alternator groups, rehabilitating their water intake and hydraulic passage, building an extension and mechanical workshop to the north of the power station, replacing electrical and mechanical equipment, and modifying a spillway so that it can be used reliably in winter.

Rio Tinto Aluminium’s Managing Director for Atlantic Operations, Sébastien Ross said: “The Isle-Maligne hydroelectric power plant has been a strategic asset for Rio Tinto for 100 years, drawing on the expertise and dedication of multiple generations of employees and business partners. This major investment to modernise our facilities will ensure the long-term future and competitivity of our low carbon aluminium production in Quebec for decades to come for our Canadian and American customers.’’

This investment is in addition to previously announced projects worth a combined $183 million (CA$252 million) for the refurbishment of butterfly valves and work on two other turbine-alternator groups at the Isle-Maligne power plant.

Rio Tinto is one of Canada's largest private producers of hydroelectricity. Seven hydroelectric facilities located in Quebec and British Columbia provide a competitive advantage, allowing the company's modern aluminium smelters to produce some of the lowest carbon aluminium in the world. An eighth power station supplies hydropower to Rio Tinto IOC’s port operations in Sept-Îles, Quebec.
