A Contractor That Understands Your Business
Many industries have complex requirements that call for specialized knowledge and extensive experience to ensure the job is done safely and to the highest standards. At Rural Electric, we have been meeting and exceeding these expectations since 1964.
SPECIALTIES
Mining depends on the ability to “keep the lights on” and ensure stable and available power. Rural has extensive experience above and below ground – construction management, process plant electrical construction, switchyards, substations, water treatment plants
Aviation is heavily regulated and requires precision. Rural has successful partnerships with Delta, United and Southwest Airlines. Projects include updating airfield lighting and signage, making changes to lighting control systems, installing cable and power control systems
Industrial America is diverse and demands the ability for contractors to think outside the box and deliver customized solutions. Our expertise includes water treatment plants, jet fueling systems, medium voltage terminations and heavy commercial controls.
Each project has it’s own unique requirements and Rural’s panel shop has the ability to fit the job properly with custom built for the job airfield lighting and control products including controls, programming, transformers, decoders, antennas and tags.
At Rural Electric, our Special Projects team specializes in design-build solutions for complex and large-scale projects. From concept to completion, we handle everything in-house, ensuring a seamless, turnkey experience for our clients.
