Solar Manufacturing Facility, Georgia
Byers installed an integrated controls and low-voltage program tying chemical delivery, gas distribution, facility monitoring, and leak-detection systems into a unified architecture. Work was sequenced to standard business hours—with extended six-day weeks where needed—and coordinated closely with parallel trades to maintain safety, schedule, and clean installation standards.
Scope included EMT raceways and 120-V emergency-power feeds to control panels; Ethernet networking between master control, remote I/O, PoE, and subsystem panels; tool-to-system field wiring; HMI installations; and rigid raceways in classified (Class I, Div. II) areas. The leak-detection buildout added a Cat6 backbone with J-hook supports, PoE device drops, labeled push-buttons and stack lights, and ¼-inch PTFE tubing routed from control enclosures to monitored points—supporting comprehensive alarm visibility and response.
Execution emphasized disciplined cable management, labeled terminations, structured I/O loop checks, and phased commissioning to bring subsystems online efficiently. The result is a maintainable controls and safety backbone that enhances reliability, speeds troubleshooting, and supports sustained, semiconductor-grade solar manufacturing operations.
