Success Stories

In 2002 Edwin L. Heim Electric Co. teamed up with IBEW 229 to install electrical systems during the construction of the Patient Care Tower. Construction lasted nearly 3 years with the final product being a 6 story state of the art patient facility for heart,orthopedic, and maternity patients. A state of the art Heart Cath Lab was installed as well.

In early 2007 construction began on the immense FGD project at Brunner’s Island. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a technology used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust flue gasses of fossil fuel power plants.
Fossil fuel power plants burn coal or oil to produce steam for steam turbines, which in turn drive electricity generators.

Voice -  Data - Video Technicians working for I.B. Abel Inc. successfully completed the Arm & Hammer project in Jackson Township. Techs were busy for months installing thousands of feet of Fiber optic and security cable. They also had countless hours terminating cable and mounting cameras.

In 2006 - 2007 ,IBEW Local 229 members working for Pagoda Electrical Inc. Completed the Electrical Construction of the Sovereign Bank Stadium in York, PA. Local 229 is proud to have completed this home town project.

In 2002 IBEW signatory contractor Lombardo & Lipe Inc. was awarded the contract for electrical construction of the new prestigious Central High School. For over 2 years Local 229 electricians worked to complete this project on time and under budget making it one of the most state of the art educational facilities in the Central PA area.

When construction began in 2001, The Susquehanna Commerce Center was the largest and most ambitious commercial development in the City of York. IBEW contractor G.R. Sponaugle & Sons Inc. performed all the electrical systems work on the project which included-

 Hunterstown plant is natural-gas fired, combined-cycle power plant with capacity rating of 839-megawatts. It is located on 89 acres in a brownfield industrial site in Straban Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. The facility includes three state-of-the-art combustion turbines and three heat recovery steam generators with selective catalytic reduction. The plant utilizes a dry-cooled condenser to minimize groundwater usage from on-site wells. The facility began commercial operation in 2003, providing electric power to PJM Interconnection.

Fuddruckers famous burger joint hired Buzynski Electrical Contractor to perform the electrical work on their new York location in 2006.

IBEW Local 229 members employed by Jno. Z. Barton Inc. are hard at work on the state of the art Uni Life Medical Solutions building near Strinestown. Uni Life will produce medical syringes and other devices critical to health care. The electrical systems include but are not limited to power and controls for truck docks, general power and lighting, and fire alarm. This project is another example of the craftsmanship shown by the IBEW/NECA team.

Project consist of new truck receptacles and the new NEMA 3R distribution panel. At this installation, ground fault (GFI) protection is provided by breakers in the distribution panel. Each cord location is equipped with a heavy duty weatherproof ON/OFF switch. This concept was designed by and is unique to ProElectric.
