Andrew M. Urda reposted thisAndrew M. Urda reposted thisAs power demand accelerates, infrastructure must evolve to match. LS ELECTRIC expands its UL ACB E-frame line-up to meet higher capacity demands, now supporting up to 4000AF. With 4000AF added to the E-frame line-up, there is no longer a need to move to G-frame for this capacity. ✔ Up to 4000AF capacity ✔ Up to 847 Vac (UAW Type) ✔ 85kA interrupting capacity ✔ Flexible installation (Fixed / Draw-out) More capacity, same footprint Built for efficient and scalable power systems. #LSELECTRIC

Andrew M. Urda liked thisWalbridge is excited and honored to be part of this project.Andrew M. Urda liked thisFor 110 years, Walbridge has been a cornerstone of Michigan’s industrial story, building the facilities that defined the 20th century. Today, we are reaching a new milestone as construction is under way on the data center campus in Saline Township, Michigan, the largest project in our company’s history and the largest economic investment ever made in the state of Michigan. This $16 billion campus built for Oracle and OpenAI is being brought to life through a deep partnership with Related Digital, a collaboration that began at the very earliest stages of design. By working hand-in-hand with Related Digital and North America's Building Trades Unions, we helped shape a first-in-the-nation labor agreement that honors the skilled tradespeople who have been our partners for over a century. Together, we are ensuring that the next generation of American AI is built on a foundation of Michigan craftsmanship, environmental responsibility, and a shared commitment to the communities we call home.

Andrew M. Urda liked thisAndrew M. Urda liked thisHere's a look at custom-built and assembled control panels delivered for a recent project at Jackson Park Hospital, engineered by the South Side Control Supply Co. team in collaboration with Hayes Mechanical. Projects like this highlight the value of thoughtful design, precision assembly, and close coordination between engineering and installation teams to meet the demands of critical facilities. Proud of the expertise and teamwork that went into making this a success.

On-line degree; Offered me a way to continue my education without having to miss out on my children's sports and other activities and keep working full-time. The focus on e-Business while using the web as the classroom was very interesting. The trends of on-line schooling and business will only get stronger!

The smart home market is evolving—fast. For electrical contractors, that means new opportunities in a growing segment: Home Energy Management Systems (HEMSs). HEMS installations in North America are projected to reach 3 million by 2028, driven by demand for energy efficiency, smart integration, and sustainability. These systems connect solar, storage, EV chargers, smart appliances, and more—giving homeowners control over their energy use and opening the door for contractors to deliver greater value through integrated, future-ready solutions. Explore how HEMSs are shaping the next phase of residential energy—and what it means for your business. #smarthome #HEMSs #homeenergymanagement https://lnkd.in/e9_hFzYK

Bias for Action: There has been no shortage of recent verbiage about the massive undertaking needed to revitalize American manufacturing capacity. From the Wall Street Journal, to the Reindustrialize Conference in Detroit, much has been pontificated about what should be done, with what funding, and on what timeline. While talking and planning are key to charting the course, at some point, talk needs to become action. With this backdrop, I am pleased to have been part of the Ownership group that has acquired Reuther Mold & Manufacturing, which we have recently renamed to Momentous Mold & Machine - formerly Reuther Mold. Momentous has a rich history of building complex, high consequence hard metal tooling for a variety of industries. The 60,000+ square foot shop has over 30 CNC spindles, although the real highlight is the 60+ person staff that has a combined 2000+ years of tool and mold building experience. All of this capability is backed by ITAR registration and an AS9100 approved Quality Management System. Combined with the capabilities at Additive Engineering Solutions, we are excited to tackle 2026 and Beyond. If you are working on critical aerospace, defense or infrastructure projects and need a hand, we have over forty machinists and a dozen engineers that are ready to tackle your toughest challenges. #AmericanManufacturing #Reindustrialize #Tooling

Excited to share the latest episode of the USEA Power Sector Podcast featuring Jeff Smidt from UL Solutions! I had the opportunity to present with Jeff at our recent NAM Innovation Summit, where this podcast was recorded. During the event, Schneider Electric and UL announced Schneider as the first to market with ECOLOGO® certification for our PowerPacT molded case circuit breakers. In this insightful podcast conversation, Jeff dives into the critical role of testing, inspection, and certification in advancing safety and reliability across the power sector. His perspective underscores why these processes are not just technical requirements—they are foundational to building trust, enabling innovation, and driving progress in our industry. I echo his message that collaboration and rigorous standards pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy future! I highly recommend tuning in! #partneringforthefuture #partneringforsustainability #ECOLOGO

Healthcare maintenance programs have been stuck following manufacturer schedules instead of managing for system reliability. This piece demonstrates how reliability-centered maintenance transforms the approach—focusing on functional units rather than individual components. Strategic methodology that delivers measurable outcomes. https://lnkd.in/exvPWnV5 #FacilitiesManagement #FacilitiesMaintenance #HealthcareFacilities #AssetManagement
