Integrated Electrical Services nails big bid for NIST lab expansion in Colorado

Integrated Electrical Services (IES), Houston, (IESC), has been awarded a contract for the installation of electrical systems at the Precision Measurement Laboratory (PML) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo. (NIST). IES is responsible for installing the primary and emergency power systems for an installation that covers 68 laboratory and clean room facilities, encompassing more than 400,000 square feet.

Once completed, the PML will be one of the most technologically advanced buildings in the world and will consist of a Level 4 High Performance Lab, Level 5 Instrument Lab and Level 6 Precision Lab. The new facility will provide for the current needs of quantum science research in computing and communications, nanotechnology, improved atomic clock research, high speed electronic measurements, and micro-fabrication of research devices.
