ect is to generate estimates,
organize sites with the fore-
man, order materials and en-
sure materials reach the site
on time. Guild Electric’s role
with this project is fairly sub-
stantial and crucial.
“We’re doing all the electrical
in the building, except for the
tenants. We’re doing the high
voltage distribution, the low
voltage distribution, electron-
ic metering, fire alarms, se-
curity, communications infra-
structure, lighting protection
on the roof,” says Camilleri.
He says the number of electri-
cians on the job has grown to
30 as of 2013.
With so many projects on the
go, there are bound to be dif-
ferent challenges. “The fact
that the project got started,
got put on hold for a couple of
years, it gets hard to keep your
crew together because when it
starts back up again, you want
to put the same crew back
on it,” says Camilleri. “Every
three months, it would come
back to us and there would be
an uncertainty.”
An additional challenge was
ensuring that there were no
price increases that would
jeopardize the project as a
whole.
Another challenge on the
MaRS project was getting the
generators up on the roof. But
with every challenge Guild
Electric faces, there is always
a sound solution. The three
generators, weighing in excess
of 30 000 pounds, were dis-
assembled and then brought
up to the roof, where they
were assembled once again.
It is this kind of quick think-
ing that ensures Guild Electric
gets the job done.
