Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium

Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, previously known as Fawcett Stadium, is home to the NFL’s annual Pro Football Hall of Fame game, the McKinley High School football team and the Malone University football team. The facility was originally constructed in 1924 and could house a maximum capacity of 15,000 high school, college or professional football fans each game. The original cost of construction was $500,000. The brand new facility is a tremendous improvement to the area, as well as to the future Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village. The stadium now holds a capacity of 23,000 people.

Fresh Mark

In 2016, Freshmark doubled their facility by adding an addition to their Canton location, and soon noticed they had an electrical problem - they were out of power with their current utility feed and had no room for expansion.

Fresh Mark is also a customer of American Electric Power and was fed a 12.47KV service, but was limited to 400amps. Essentially, Freshmark was maxed out on power. Fresh Mark needed a solution if they were to continue their production capabilities, and AEP suggested the logical option - installing a substation... AEP would have had to substantially upsize their feed if Freshmark was to remain on the 12.47KV feed. Therefore, Freshmark contacted Hilscher-Clarke to design-build a brand new 69KV substation.

The substation was constructed in two phases - the first in 2016 and the second in 2018. The first phase quickly reached capacity; The second phase was constructed to meet the needs of a continually growing facility. Spare disconnect switches were configured into the design to allow for future plant expansion.

The substation is protected by two SF6 circuit breakers, with SEL overcurrent and differential protection schemes. Protective devices and annunciators are installed in a custom, in-house-made enclosure. The customer is now supplied with a fully regulated 12.47KV system. Fully automated capacitor banks are utilized for power factor correction.

NAO Data Center

NAO Data Center is an ongoing project located in New Albany, Ohio. This state-of-the-art facility features 8 data halls, mechanical penthouses, and administrative areas which make up the 1,000,000 square foot facility. Due to the availability of renewable energy sources in the area, New Albany became an attractive location for the data center. The data center is situated on a 345-acre site. Once the project is completed in 2019, there will be 100 permanent employees.

On a project like this, the electrical distribution system is nothing short of extravagant. This facility contains nearly 60,000 light fixtures, millions of feet of wire and conduit, hundreds of pieces of distribution equipment, and thousands of data racks. The entire data center is powered by a renewable energy source. A typical contractor may be overwhelmed by the size and involvement of this project, but we thrive on a challenge that brings good experience to the team. A job like shows the dedicated workmanship and that there is no such thing as a job too big for us.

Timken Faircrest Jumbo Bloom Vertical Caster

In 2012, Hilscher-Clarke began work on the largest industrial project they’ve ever undertaken. Timken Steel, a 70+ year customer of HC, sought to construct a $200 Million dollar, 270-foot jumbo bloom vertical casting tower in their Faircrest plant. The casting tower would be the largest of its’ kind in the world. When completed, the casting tower would be situated 90 feet below the ground, rising to 180 feet above the ground. The Faircrest Steel Plant is the only facility to offer a combination of a large vertical bloom caster and an in-line forge press.

Over the next two years, Hilscher- Clarke’s skilled industrial electricians worked 185,000 man hours to complete the project, with a peak record of 120 men on day shift and 40 on night shift. Overal crew makeup not only included industrial electricians, but also teledata and testing technicians. Our electricians performed four 2,500-foot long 15KV armored cabled pulls (pictured right). This process was completed in eight days with no splices, per Timken’s request. Hilscher-Clarke also installed a complete air-blown fiber network backbone system.
