IBEW 271 Electricians are wiring the new Sedgwick County Arena. This facility will be a great addition to downtown Wichita.
|
IBEW 271 Electricians have now wired two wind energy facilities. The Elk River Wind Power Project located near Beaumont went on line in December of 2005. The project included 100 turbines that will generate 150 megawatts which will produce enough power annually to supply about 42,000 homes. The Spearville Wind Energy Facility went on line in June of 2006. Its 67 turbines will generate 100.5 megawatts - enough to supply about 33,000 homes annually. IBEW 271 electricians will also wire the 2nd phase of the Spearville Facility starting early in 2009.
The new Sedgwick County Arena takes shape.
The IBEW 271 Spirit Aerospace Unit met on July 11 to review, debate, and vote on an economic opener in the current contract. The proposed changes were accepted by a 69% margin. |
