Illinois Tollway

The field equipment of the toll-collection system needed cabinets to power it and new UPS units, and protection from the heat and cold that could stop it, so Electronic Transaction Consultants, the toll-system integrator, took us on as its electrical and field-services subcontractor.

The system had to keep running around the clock, which meant emergency calls could come at any hour.

We installed about 90 stainless power and data cabinets, rated NEMA 4X against water and corrosion, and replaced the system’s Eaton UPS units, which ran from 3 to 20 kVA.

Alongside the cabinets we put in about 150 heated stainless enclosures and about 200 cabinet air conditioners, and we upgraded about 80 nitrogen-generation units.

We fitted climate-control cabinets with self-diagnostics and a network card, so when a cabinet got too hot or too cold, it alerted dispatch and a technician could be sent out before the equipment failed.
