Inglett & Stubbs Helps the CDC Keep a Lid on Disease.

The article reports on the contract between Inglett & Stubbs and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Four of the nine labs of CDC have a biosafety level-4 classification because they will be used for studying level 4 pathogens--the deadliest and most easily transmitted diseases known to science. Even the slightest leak can put the lab's employees at risk of infection, or may even lead to an outbreak. That meant Inglett & Stubbs had to pay extra attention on the wireways, as they can be a potential escape paths for airborne diseases. To prevent tainted air from passing into common areas, the team of electricians tested every junction box and piece of conduit for leaks with a technique they devised especially for the project. Then the conduit was buried under several inches of concrete. INSET: Stopping Leaks Before They Start.
