UIC CampusDivane Bros. successfully completed a major medium voltage cable replacement project at the University of Illinois Circle Campus. Work consisted of complete replacement of 15kv feeders on the East campus in Chicago.

Electric Co. was able to deliver the campus turnover on time, with total satisfaction from the customer. |
