Seventeen of our own jobs

The work, not a brochure of it.

Six or so of us work out of the shop on River Bend Road, and the range of what we have wired does not look like a six-person outfit. A dam spillway. A distribution center the length of a city block. A convenience-store cooler aisle. Every photograph below is our own, taken on our own jobsites, grouped by what it shows rather than by client name.

The Eufaula spillway

Gate-hoist power on a working dam.

The spillway job is the clearest example of what a small shop can take on: gate-hoist power and conduit racking built into a structure that holds back a lake, exposed to weather and inspection in equal measure.

Gate-hoist power and the conduit that feeds it are our scope here.

Rigid conduit racked under the spillway bridge deck, walkway running out over open water — Rigid conduit racked in banks under the bridge deck, the walkway running out over open water. Everything here is exposed to weather and inspection at the same time, so the racking has to be clean as well as watertight.

Bundled conduit staged on the dam bridge deck, lake and autumn treeline behind — Conduit staged and bundled on the dam deck before it goes into the racks, the lake and the treeline behind it. Most of what shows up in a finished building starts as a pile that looks like this.

Underground and distribution

What gets buried has to be right the first time.

Most of this work never gets seen again once the slab or the sidewalk goes back down on top of it. Duct banks, stub-ups, and trench runs from three different sites, labeled and capped the same way whether the job is a mile from the shop or across the state.

A labeled duct bank sweeping out of a trench into a strut rack, excavator behind — A duct bank labeled run by run, sweeping up out of the trench into a strut rack. Labeling like this is what lets an electrician open a panel five years from now and know exactly what feeds what.

A capped stub-up bundle strapped to strut, excavator working the trench behind it — A capped stub-up bundle strapped to strut. Capping every stub protects the run until whatever lands on it is actually ready to be connected.

A long PVC duct bank in trench with a stub-up elbow bank at a pad — A long PVC duct-bank run with the stub-up elbows already turned up at the pad, ready for the next pour.

Bored conduit run in an open trench between two slabs at Depot Green Muskogee, excavators working — Bored conduit run in an open trench between two slabs at Depot Green here in Muskogee, excavators working either side.

Depot Green Muskogee slab with conduit stub-ups, the branded Moore Electric and Logistics truck, downtown Muskogee behind — Stub-ups set in fresh slab at Depot Green, our own truck parked on the street and downtown Muskogee behind it. Five minutes from the shop on River Bend Road.

Duct bank running under a poured walk into a boxed trench, the kind of run that has to be right the first time because concrete goes on top of it next.

Lighting and finished interiors

What it looks like once the power is live.

The other half of the work: a warehouse, a distribution center, a cooler aisle, and one older shot pulled from the plant-floor archive. Different scales, same standard.

A finished, fully lit warehouse with high-bay LEDs, HVLS fans, polished slab, dock doors — A finished warehouse: high-bay LEDs, HVLS fans turning slow overhead, a polished slab under the dock doors. This is what the trench work and the conduit racking are building toward.

A technician on a scissor lift fixing a high-bay lighting run to the deck — A technician on a scissor lift fixing a high-bay strip run to the deck, one run at a time until the whole floor is even.

A vast, fully lit distribution center with a crane rail, a telehandler small against the building — A distribution center lit end to end on a crane rail, a telehandler dwarfed by the scale of the building. Power distribution at this size gets planned in one pass, not patched in later.

A lit convenience-store cooler aisle — A convenience-store cooler aisle. Smaller than a spillway or a distribution center, and it gets the same attention.

A manufacturing plant floor with blue crane bays under new lighting — A plant floor under new lighting, crane bays overhead. An older shot from the archive, and the work still reads the same.

Buildings under construction

Before there is a wall to hide behind.

Conduit and trench work on shells that have not gone vertical yet, plus one shot from inside a coated equipment pit where two of our own electricians did the finishing.

A steel-and-stud building shell under construction with a scissor lift and insulation deck — A steel-and-stud shell under construction, a scissor lift parked mid-floor. Most of this work happens before there is a ceiling left to hide it behind.
