Congratulations to Colorado Energy Nations on receiving Power Magazine's “Reinvention Award." One of our engineering partners, Behrent Engineering, was paramount to the success of the project. We were thankful to supply the control panels, and are grateful that they are exceeding the plant’s expectations.
Read MoreWe think electrical control panels are a thing of beauty. At UCEC, we're raising the bar on artistic standards for panel projects. And since we spend so much time designing, fabricating and wiring panels, we have discovered there's a lot about electrical control panels that most people don't know. We're sharing some panel secrets, below!
Read MoreWe're settling in to the new look for UCEC headquarters. We still have some work to do, but for the most part, the renovation is complete. We hope you can stop by soon to take a look!
Read MoreA Denver engineer recently told us that visiting the UCEC shop was always a pleasure because he was bound to run into engineers from other firms and it was fun to catch up for a few moments.
Read MoreWe love our mountains here in Colorado, and some of us love the fishing we find in those mountains. In honor of the warmer weather we're experiencing in Arvada, we thought this video from the Science Channel about how fishing line is made was perfect. Enjoy!
Read MoreOne way we make things easier for the customer is when we run wireway in our panels. We like to squeeze our ducts really small, but we leave the customer’s ducts large. Let’s say we have four strips we need to wire in to the panel. We’ll use the pattern small-large-small-large and we’ll take the small duct. Saving the large wireway for our customers will make it easier for them to wire on their end.
Read MoreSo, how can we battle complacency? I’ve put together a quick list that has helped UCEC. Maybe one or two will ring true for your job or business.
Read MoreShipping is something that can take a good chunk of time to get just right. When a job begins, I typically look over the purchase order to see if there are any special requirements for shipping. For instance, some customers require 48 hours notice before we load their panels up on trucks. I’ll also check to see if the customer has requested a certain carrier or a specific way of shipping.
