What We Have Done

Throughout our history, we've been fortunate enough to work on some truly remarkable projects. One of our most notable achievements was the construction of the Crypt Church from 1920 to 1926. We continued to provide electrical engineering and construction support for the Upper Church from 1953 to 1959. Additionally, we've been on-site at the Washington National Cathedral since the original electrical construction, continuing through the completion of the West Towers in 1990.

In 2004, we were part of a team assembled to restore St. Matthew's Cathedral, originally founded in 1893. The church remained open during the entire restoration project, with four daily masses. Our employees received the Washington Building Congress 2004 "Star Award for Visual Excellence" for this project.

We've also had extensive experience with data center installations for virtually every major telecommunications company located throughout the greater Washington, DC area. We've worked on the National Japanese American Museum, an unattended memorial in a park setting that is open to the public 24/7, 365 days a year. Our greatest challenge for this project was to eliminate, as much as possible, any visible accessibility to power, lighting, or controls.
