The Independent Electrical Contractors, Inc. (IEC) is pleased to announce that DBS Communications in Brook Park, Ohio, received the 2010 IEC National Award of Excellence in Low‐Voltage Systems during the 53rd Annual IEC National Convention & Electric Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, for its work on the Wyse Advertising offices.

DESIGN: The Wyse Advertising offices had approximately 125 workstations on the main floor of a historic building in downtown Cleveland that had been vacant for more than 10 years. The construction project began when the building was gutted down to its outside, load‐bearing walls and support columns. The main floor had 17‐foot high ceilings.
OBSTACLES OVERCOME: Due to the unique installation environment, the cabling scope of work’s level of difficulty was extremely high. Each office needed cabling, but without drop ceiling and standard pathways, it was nearly impossible to get the wires to the workstation locations without exposing the wires and ruining the aesthetic look of the office.
The cabling foreman accepted the challenge and created solutions to wire all of the offices without leaving a single wire exposed. All wiring was run through cable trays, down chimneys, underneath eaves, and anywhere that could conceal the wires. Without this creativity and skill level, the installation would not have been acceptable to the customer or the overall appearance of the
offices.

SAFETY: The foreman ran his crews efficiently and with safety as the primary concern. Weekly safety meetings were attended and safety checks were regularly completed for each crew.
THE NUTS & BOLTS: The Wyse floor plan had a series of departmental areas spread throughout the main floor. Those areas included administration, IT, reception, design, creative, and marketing. All areas were wired back to one main closet located in the IT department. Overall, this cabling infrastructure provided Wyse Advertising a solid platform for its current technology needs and flexibility for future technologies that will be used in the
years to come. This project was implemented with the above in mind while being as cost‐competitive as possible in order to win the project and stay profitable.
Awards of Excellence in Low‐Voltage Systems recognizes IEC member companies that exhibit excellence in low-voltage systems construction by striving for innovation and total quality.

I’d like to thank DBS for your above and beyond work ethic and time. I’m sure my company (Which I’ll not name) was not one of the easier accounts that you serviced in recent history – our building is (WAS!) very old and outdated and I know that our staff was a bit challenging, but everyone from DBS was always very courteous and conscientious.
I mostly appreciate the long hours that you all put in to accommodate an aggressive deadline. Thanks again.
