⚡ A Major Step Forward in Our Expansion Project! ⚡
We made great progress this past Friday as part of our upcoming facility expansion.
To prepare for the building expansion, our incoming electrical service needed to be relocated. Our previous overhead service, which included two transformers, was replaced with a new, larger transformer and underground electrical service to support our future growth.
A special thank you to the Lamke crew for their outstanding work on the excavation and transformer pad installation. We also want to recognize the Cuivre River Electric Cooperative team and Leo Straatmann's crew, who worked together with an impressive fleet of equipment to remove the old service and successfully switch over to the new service in less than 12 hours.
The professionalism, coordination, and hard work displayed by everyone involved were exceptional, and we sincerely appreciate all of your efforts.
We'd also like to thank the entire Schwoeppe Machine & Tool team for adjusting schedules and working around the planned outage to help make this transition a success.
Exciting things are happening, and this is just one more step toward the future of SM&T. Stay tuned... more expansion progress updates coming soon!
