Article Abstract:
EMC Insurance Companies, headquartered in Des Moines, IA, uses a highly-flexible wire and management system to address its facilities life-cycle costs and long-term adjustments. The insurance firm has invested in long-term convenience technologies that include ice chiller systems, energy-efficient windows and cellular in-floor management system for wire and cable. EMC's building is also constructed with steel raceway that supports its concrete structure and secures wiring and cabling. The system allows changes in floor plans with the development in communications and computer technology.
