This customer was a referral for us that we are very appreciative of. Reddy Ice had contacted one of our cabling distributors and they recommend us to them. We were surprised that our distributor mentioned us because we are a fairly small company but we have an excellent relationship with them. Reddy Ice was interested in obtaining a quote from us because we are a family-owned business focused on delivering a quality product and they felt like we could deliver it.
This was a great project for us and had many different installation applications. This Dallas data cabling job consisted of over 400 cables as well as a fiber optic demarc extension. We installed six projectors, 6 pull-down screens, ten flat screen tv's with one being an 85" flat screen in the board room. Some of the tv applications had Cat 6 to HDMI convertors as well as VGA extensions to the projectors. This Reddy Ice Dallas headquarters had over 13 wifi access points installed around the office and in the boardrooms.
Some of the challenges on this project was flex conduit under the slab that fed several cubicle farms had issues that we had to resolve to get our high count of cables into the cubes as well as some design changes that did not make it onto the floor plan version we were working off of. The customer moved over some existing cubicles from their old building which did not have the correct parts initially when installed so we had to wait until they came in for us to finish our part but we had plenty of AV work to do while we waited a few days to complete the baseboards.
On another note, we found a new restaurant we ate at several times called Don Taco which is pretty good for street tacos, or a large bowl of Caldo de res which is essentially a beef stew with large chunks of vegetables. Just wanted to share something in the area that we thought was noteworthy to those working around 635 and Preston road area.
