Century Rd., in Paramus, N.J., will feature seminars and workshops demonstrating a wide range of cutting-edge technology being implemented at some of New Jersey’s leading construction projects.
“This event has been designed as an intensive, hands-on opportunity for attendees to engage in one-on-one learning and discussions with manufacturers,” said John DeBouter, Local 164’s training director and president. “Expo 2008 is an extension of IBEW Local 164’s educational and safety initiatives to enhance knowledge among all those involved in construction, from contractors, engineers and project managers, to electricians, telecom workers and even end-users.”
Featured workshops include building automation, power monitoring, seismic bracing, tools, test equipment, splicing, terminations, security, NFPA 70E, CCTV, cable and cable raceway, switches, wiring devices and benders. Each will be led by Graybar and Square D representatives and/or other leading manufacturers such as 3M, Belden, Everfocus, Mohawk, Wiremold, Lutron, Greenlee Klein, Hubbell and Fluke.
