Key Focus Areas
COMMERCIAL
Arc Electric’s commercial electrical construction projects include planning, designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems in office complexes, retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and other business establishments. These projects provide the necessary power, lighting, and systems to support commercial operations.
INDUSTRIAL
Industrial electrical projects at Arc Electric encompass a wide range of activities related to planning, designing, installing, maintaining, and upgrading electrical systems in industrial settings. These projects are designed and installed to ensure the safe and efficient operation of manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and other industrial environments.
INSTITUTIONAL
Arc Electric’s institutional projects include planning, designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems in schools, hospitals, universities, government buildings, and other public facilities. These projects are crucial for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and functionality of electrical systems that support a wide range of activities and services.
CORRECTIONAL
Arc Electric has a rich history in Corrections projects through-out Washington. Our team has worked within the Corrections environment for 20+ years, including 50+ projects totaling nearly $45 million in electrical contracts. Many of these projects involved significant expansions/remodels within occupied prisons and jails. We understand the importance ofsequencing the work and protecting critical security systems.
ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY
Alternative delivery methods in electrical construction apply project management approaches that deviate from the traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) model. These methods aim to improve efficiency, collaboration, cost- effectiveness, and project timelines. Arc Electric has a long history of EC/CM, Design-Assist, and Progressive Design-Build projects dating back 10+ years and totaling well over $25 million of electrical work.
Showcase Projects
Northern Quest Resort
River Tower Hotel
Airway Heights, WA
This Progressive Design-Build project includes a 5-story, 200-room hotel with ground-level conference/banquet room. The 130,000 SF, $10,500,000 project applied prefabricated assemblies to each unit and RTS technologies in site construction. Continual communication between the engineers, contractors, and Owner through weekly pull-planning schedule check-ins led to quicker design-making that best aligned with the Owner’s project goals.
Lucy F. Covington
Colville Tribal Government Center
Nespelem, WA
This fast-track EC/CM project was completed with Lydig for the Colville Tribe. The 160,000 SF building includes shared-use meeting rooms, multi-use event spaces, informal meeting areas, a cafe, fitness facilities, support facilities and storage. A three-story lobby atrium connects the two wings of the building. With original TERO goals of 25%, the Tribal Government Center averaged nearly 60% participation by Tribal members. The electrical contract was $4,600,000.
Dugmore Hall
Central Washington University
Ellensburg, WA
This Progressive Design-Build Student Housing complex includes a 402-bed residence building with associated amenities and a single-story dining facility. The contractor’s experience with similar wood frame construction projects, combined with the design team’s knowledge of CWU’s standards for system types and applications, led to the successful completion of this fast-paced project.
Coyote Ridge Corrections Center
SEN Upgrades
Connell, WA
Tasks for this Progressive Design-Build project included replacing cameras, HMI touch screens, and PLC’s SEN room UPS’s. Arc also provided network equipment and coordinated with DOC IT for implementation. The sequence of work was carefully coordinated to ensure that all buildings were functional and able to be run from the Master Control. Since the security electronics systems were completely different, two control systems in the Master (original and new) were provided until completion, when the original was demolished.
840 Health Science & Innovation Building
Gonzaga University
Spokane, WA
This new 4-story,105,000 SF center for medical and health sciences education, research, and health care innovation is anchored by the University of Washington School of Medicine and Gonzaga University Health Partnership. The facility provides students with integrated opportunities for learning and teaching in classrooms, anatomy labs, teaching labs, and shared research and innovation centers. The building was designed to use natural solar orientation to aid in high-efficiency energy systems (design-assist delivery method).
Nelson Service Center
City of Spokane
Spokane, WA
This 57,600 SF design-build project consolidated the City’s fleet services and solid waste collection centers into one campus. The facility includes large heavy vehicle maintenance bays, light vehicle maintenance bays, bridge cranes, welding area, parts room, tool shop, storage area, administration space, and offices. This project also included a compressed natural gas fueling facility for the City’s solid waste vehicles.
