It is and was a pleasure working with Darrel and Richard during the recent Ellis Ave. Pump Station project. They scheduled work and outages in a timely manner. They kept us informed with timely status updates and schedule changes. They called and checked in on the weekends on occasion to inquire about the status of the station and the portable generator operation. Based on the quality of the way matters were conducted, you could tell that they were committed to go above and beyond what is expected to make the project a success.

Atlantic Electric LLC took the time to estimate and plan the project out properly. As such we truly partnered with AE and provided a cost proposal to SCDOT that turned out to be a “pleasant surprise” to our client. I look forward to working with AE on our other specialized electric projects and on our more routine moveable bridge electrical tasks.
