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.

Equity Industrial Partners (EIP) Expands Industrial Capacity in East Bridgewater, Mass.

Partners with LIFTEX to raise roof and improve industrial space efficiency

ROCKAWAY, NJ, May 06, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Equity Industrial Partners (EIP), a fully integrated developer and operator of industrial and office assets based in New England, has completed a major infrastructure upgrade at 600 N. Bedford St. in East Bridgewater, Mass. To complete the project, EIP partnered with LIFTEX, a company specializing in commercial building expansion via roof-raising solutions, to raise the roof of a 44,100 sq. ft. section of a 297,086 sq. ft. industrial complex, increasing the facility’s clear height by 12 feet to accommodate modern warehousing and logistics operations.

Meeting the Evolving Needs of Industrial Real Estate

As the demand for high-bay warehouse space continues to grow, property owners are seeking solutions to maximize existing infrastructure rather than undertaking new construction. Originally designed for manufacturing, the facility had a 16-foot clear height, which limited its capacity for modern distribution and storage operations. The decision to increase vertical space rather than expand outward reflects a broader industry trend toward sustainable and cost-effective property enhancements.

"This project was essential to optimizing the property for today’s industrial market," said Jim Knight, Director of Facilities at Equity Industrial Partners. "By adapting existing structures to meet modern needs, we are improving operational efficiency while contributing to the economic growth of East Bridgewater."

Project Execution and Key Upgrades

The scope of work included:

  • Structural engineering and steel fabrication
  • A 12’3” roof lift, achieving 28’+ clear height

In addition to the roof lift, EIP also had the following updated:

  • Sprinkler system modifications
  • Installation of insulated metal panel enclosures
  • New loading dock doors and racking systems

The project was executed over four months, with the roof raising completed within two site days at the 2.5-month mark by LIFTEX. Despite the complexities of working within a tenant rented industrial space, the upgrade was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to operations. (For a timelapse video, click here.)

Impact on East Bridgewater’s Industrial Growth

The successful completion of this project underscores the importance of adapting existing infrastructure to meet modern demands. Industrial property enhancements like this contribute to the broader economic growth of East Bridgewater by ensuring that local facilities remain competitive and attractive to tenants in the logistics and warehousing sectors.
