Network Cabling and Facilities Maintenance students at Charleston Job Corps collaborated on a project to provide power to the storage garages behind the Career and Technical Training Buildings. Many of the TAR requirements in the electrical component of their training were covered with this project. Mr. Cameron Hanson, a facilities maintenance instructor, and Mr. Charles Singleton, a network cabling instructor, aided with the project throughout.

Prior to excavation, Mr. Hanson called Mis-utility to confirm the path he chose was safe. After getting safe-to-dig

instructions from Mis-utility, students began excavating the trench. After finishing the trench, the students installed 100 feet of 1.25-inch PVC conduit. Students marked and terminated all electrical wires. Following the completion of cable installation, a reducer was installed to connect the PVC to the circuit control panel. Lights and ground fault indicators (GFI) receptacles were subsequently installed in the garages.
