Value Delivered
Forest Electric New Jersey’s (Forest NJ) team assisted with solutions to help the customer update their uninterruptable power system (UPS) while not affecting operations.
With our planning and technical knowledge, we were able to complete the upgrade of the system, removing fifteen static switches, which helped free up space in the data room for future growth.
All installation and commissioning deadlines were met, costs came in under budget, and our team created a detailed method of procedures for the project to help eliminate impacts to operations.
