From office buildings to sports arenas to subway stations and movie studios, family-owned E-J Electric Installation has consistently added to its portfolio of services and projects. Such scope and flexibility have helped the firm maintain a position for years among the top firms in ENR New York's annual specialty contractor ranking, and that diversity was especially helpful for the firm in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy last October.

实际上，修复和重建桑迪淹没了几英尺海水，破坏其电力系统的纽约建筑物是E-J 2012年收入的主要原因，与其更典型的单一单一单一单一的收入高达65％至3.05亿美元该公司的高管表示，数字，同比增长。

J. Robert“ Bob” Mann Jr说，这家位于皇后区的长岛市拥有850名现场员工，其中包括35名工程师，远远超过其竞争对手。，E-J主席。他说，这些工程师倾向于与该领域的项目经理紧密合作，这一事实使项目可以按时并有效地完成。18luck官网

对于这些成就和其他成就，ENR区域编辑将E-J任命为Enr New Yor新利luckk的年度最佳专业承包商。

E-J在电力早期成立的114岁公司以其两个创始人Jack Enright和Theodore Joseph的名字命名。新利luck1912年，鲍勃·曼恩（Bob Mann）的父亲雅克·曼（Jacques Mann）和现任首席执行官托尼·曼（Tony Mann）的祖父加入了他们的行列。

该业务维持其代际管理方法：鲍勃（Bob）于1953年加入E-J，处理营销，法律和财务问题以及客户关系，而托尼（Tony）负责公司的日常运营，据信这是该国最古老的类型。

Many early clients included entertainment venues, like Long Island City's Paramount Astoria movie studio. Now known as the Kaufman Astoria Studios, the complex is still used for movie shoots, although it is no longer an E-J client.

But the firm is so old, diverse and big that many of its current and former projects can be seen throughout the city. "When I drive around New York, my kids always say, 'There goes Dad again, pointing at all our projects,'" says Tony Mann. Bob adds, "I think I did the same thing myself."

The venerable laundry list of work that has kept the firm busy includes the Sony Building, Rockefeller University and the Ed Sullivan Theater, in its David Letterman incarnation. It also includes scores of trading floors, water treatment plants and houses of worship in and around the metro area.

Its recent work includes a project that perhaps earned the firm the most acclaim: the completion last fall of the electrical work on the $485-million Barclays Center. Tony Mann says that the teams were up against a hard deadline in building the 670,000-sq-ft, 18,000-seat Brooklyn arena and they met it in time for Jay-Z to inaugurate the performance space with a concert last September.

On the job since 2009 and part of the original design-build team with Hunt Construction Group (despite architect changes), E-J added LED lights, video screens and the bulbs that glow from within the building's weathered-steel shell as well as pavers in its wide plaza. "A lot of that was done in the 11th hour in the weeks before the building opened," said Linda Chiarelli, the deputy director of construction for developer Forest City Ratner Co.

But there was just as much pressure on the front end too. Grounding grids, which were necessary so that circuit-breakers don't blow, and underground duct banks needed to be installed before most work could commence.

In a separate phase of the project, E-J helped relocate the rail yards at the Atlantic Yards site, used by Long Island Rail Road trains that once bisected the property. Four tracks in all were moved to make way for both the arena and a platform on which apartment towers are eventually slated to be built. E-J also helped to create a subway entrance, located by the oculus of Barclays Center, and to rebuild the Carlton Avenue bridge.

Chiarelli说，除了能够解决此范围的项目外，E-J还获得了在重大设计更改中灵活的积分，这是在建筑公司Ellerbe Beckett被Shop Architects取代之后发生的。

"Their strength is their capacity to be able to handle projects of this order of magnitude," said Chiarelli, whose firm has worked with E-J before. Repeat customers make up 60 percent of E-J's client base.

Other E-J projects that have been completed recently or are under way include the installation of a new cogeneration plant at Columbia University's campus in Manhattanville. The firm also worked on Boston Properties' 250 West 55th St. project. The 1-million-sq-ft, 38-story office building is set to open this winter.

Meanwhile, E-J had been building a cogen plant at the NYU Langone Medical Center last fall when Sandy hit and sent water into the center's East Side basements. Though that project wasn't affected, E-J was part of the emergency response team that worked to get the lights back on in the hospital, a feat that required round-the-clock work over three weeks by 100 employees, while at the same time trying to find someone to manufacture new switches.

"Our people were coming in their jeans on the weekend and sitting with the client to get them up safely and quickly," Tony Mann says. Other Sandy-repair-related business came from the Chelsea Piers sports complex; the Coler-Goldwater hospital on Roosevelt Island; and Four New York Plaza in the financial district, a project that included installing a temporary chiller and is still a work-in-progress, as electrical systems continue to be relocated to upper floors.

The firm has also increased business by diversifying. In 2007, it launched a transit division, which is now working on two local subway projects, for the No. 7 train and Second Avenue tunnels as well as the Fulton Center, the financial district subway hub.

Three years ago, E-J created a roadway division that has already refurbished the lights and conduit systems on Grand Central Parkway in Queens. It also has a contract to maintain electronic traffic signs citywide. About the only type of work that it is not interested in is residential projects, Tony Mann says.

In safety, the company attributes its good record to requiring daily safety reports of staff and other "simple steps." The firm has "a culture that wants everybody to go home the same way they started their day," says Bobby McCloskey, safety director. There are weekly safety meetings at jobsites and manager discussions with Tony Mann at monthly safety committee meetings.

Beginning last year, the firm requires its foremen to take a 30-hour OSHA safety course, taught by an in-house instructor, he says. Also, 700 employees must now wear safety gloves. The gloves cost a total of $3,000, and workers must start wearing them this month. "There is an extra cost, yes, but it's the cost of doing business safely," McCloskey says.

E-J encourages work with minority- and women-owned businesses, Tony Mann says. On the Columbia project, for example, it hired Egg Electric, a Manhattan-based, woman-owned business that it has used before.

他补充说，该公司还以社区宣传为荣。例如，自2008年以来，每年都会通过骑自行车穿过威彻斯特县的犹太家庭和儿童服务委员会筹集资金。他说，去年筹集了70万美元。
