JE Dunn Construction, one of America’s largest general contractors, decided to install an electric vehicle charging station in the parking garage next to its world headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. JE Dunn faced the following challenges when designing the infrastructure to support the charging stations:
- Installing power panels on the EV charging station walls would have been costly, disruptive, time-consuming, and very visible to drivers and pedestrians in the garage. There was also a lack of wall space to accommodate the panels.
- The chargers were located a considerable distance (270 feet) from the distribution power panel, which would have required extensive cabling to create a circuit for each charger.
- Power panels and traditional wiring did not allow for easy scalability when the customer was ready to install additional EV chargers.
While evaluating power distribution options, JE Dunn found an alternative solution in the Starline Series-S Track Busway–a splash-proof electrical track busway with ingress protection that makes it suitable for covered outdoor installations like a parking garage.
Check out this case study to learn how JE Dunn overcame its installation and scalability challenges by implementing Series-S Track Busway.
