NHK Project

We received our temporary occupancy approval at NHK for Building #1 & #3 in Murfreesboro Tenenssee. This project is on track for final completion the end of June 2011.

Whirlpool Job Site

During all the tornado outbreaks this past month, Cleveland Tennessee received some pretty heavy damage. In light of this damage, a number of the M&L Electrical, Inc. employees on the Whirlpool Job site helped the community of Cleveland with clean-up.

Our hearts and prayers go out to all the communities that were hit by the recent weather outbreaks.

Third Contract at Eastman Chemical

Thanks to a growing relationship with Mustang Engineering and Eastman Kodak, the Tennessee office has been awarded it's third contract at Eastman Chemical in Kinsgport, TN.

This contract will consist of the fire alarm for the new EAW1 addition. Butch Ramsey will be the Superintendent on this project.

Fabrication Shop

We are proud to announce that the prefabrication shop is up, running and producing results. Working out of the existing lower warehouse, we are working on lighting control panels, cable tray support brackets, as well as preassembling the site lighting for NHK project.

With the constant need to find a competitive edge, reduce the duration of our schedules, and reduce the footprint of material stored on a project, we feel the need has been there for M&L to get involved in prefabricating more products for our projects. We are starting with small projects and moving towards larger scopes of work in the future. The idea behind it is to take time consuming or repetitive tasks off the project site and put it in a controlled environment for faster production. We will also use it for the occasional offset, or bracket that needs to be quickly produced. Having this facility will allow us to eliminate most of the set-up cost associated with producing just one offset or bracket.

We know a prefabrication facility will give us a competitive edge today, and a solid platform to build on in the future.

Eastman Job Site

The Tennessee Office has been on site at Eastman Chemical since January 2011 with Brandon Givens as Project Manager and Tim Bacorn as the Superintendent.

Eastman Kodak is a 900 acre Chemical facility located in Kingsport, Tennessee. M & L has been awarded two contracts this year with Mustang Engineering on this site which include Power Distribution, Lighting and Equipment Installation.

Whirlpool Job Site

The Whirlpool job site is well underway with Curtis White as Project Manager and Dale Ledbetter as Superintendent.

This is a design-build project located in Cleveland Tennessee. This project will last three years and be done in three phases. It is a one million square foot production facility that consists of lighting, medium voltage site distribution, 480V distribution, fire alarm and paging.

You will be hearing a lot more about this project as it progresses.
