Santa Fe Springs, California - "I've got a burn out." were the first words spoken when Bud Neal of A.H. Neal Sales, Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona called General Switchgear Inc. (GSI)

Monday afternoon, January 3, 2000, on the first working day of the new millennium.The main utility switchgear for the Mesa Regal RV Resort in Mesa, Arizona was out of service and Sturgeon Electric needed to replace it fast.

"When I heard about Sturgeon Electric's problem I knew that GSI could help," said Howard Preszler, Operations Manager at GSI. "GSI is very competitive in both price and lead-time for 5kV and 15kV Utility Metering Switchgear."

"Through Tuesday, Howard and I worked together to design the new switchgear layout that would match the existing conduit and meet the current 5kV utility metering requirements for Salt River Project" said Greg Russell at Sturgeon Electric. "By the end of the day I issued a purchase order to deliver the new switchgear on Monday morning, just 6 days away." A temporary generator was supplying the power for the RV Resort at considerable cost to the owner. The costs were rising every day the switchgear was out of service. Monday morning delivery was critical.

General Switchgear completed the submittal drawings in one day and they were emailed to Sturgeon Electric for submission to Salt River Project (SRP) for approval. Minor corrections were made overnight after which SRP approved the drawings. Concurrent with the submittals GSI fabricated the switchgear. The 5kV Utility Metering Switchgear was completed, tested and shipped on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday the switchgear traveled from GSI in Santa Fe Springs, California to Mesa, Arizona. The switchgear was at the Mesa Regal RV Resort 6:00 AM on Monday morning, January 10, 2000, ready for installation by Sturgeon Electric. The installation was completed the same day.

At the completion of the project Greg Russell, Project Manager at Sturgeon Electric sent GSI the following note; "Thank you for all your support and help in making this a successful replacement. We were very happy with your equipment and especially your service. Thank you for a job well done."
