  • Banton Expedites Delivery of Electrical Service Replacement

    02/8/2018

    Banton's Electrical Division recently completed a major service replacement at the Connecticut Department of Transportation's testing facility in Rocky Hill.

    In the early evening, Eversource arrived on site to de-energize the service so that Banton's team could safely proceed with their work. By 8 PM that evening; the entire switchboard line, as well as its associated conduit and conductors, had been removed and the new Switch Line was already being put in place. 

    The existing line-up was replaced with a new 1000a Main as well as the addition of an Automatic Transfer Switch to accommodate the new 450 KW Diesel Generator also being provided and installed by Banton's Electrical Team.

    Overall the operation was an overwhelming success, receiving accolades from DOT personnel. Due to careful planning by Banton's management team and the skillful execution of this plan by our tradesmen onsite, Banton was able to accomplish what would usually take weeks in roughly 34 hours.

    Banton's management sincerely thanks everyone that played a role in completing this major undertaking in a timely and safe manner.
