Customer Results:
Key success metrics for Revere were an on schedule, high quality, and safety incident-free electrical design & installation to support the on-time startup & commissioning of the micromill. Revere completed the design and installation on time (December 2017) when adjusted for delays caused by others not working for Revere.
This project was very complex. Revere’s electrical design team performed excellent quality reviews of third-party electrical drawings and schematics from the client and sub-contractors, resulting in catching many errors prior to installation. Revere’s local electrical installation subcontractor supervised and installed the cable trays, conduit, wiring, and e-house with high satisfaction from the client. Wiring errors were < 1% upon inspection.
Revere completed this firm fixed price project under budget including the approval of one change order. Client gave Revere a high rating and will engage Revere again.
