Modernization & Aging Assets
Keep Your Assets and Processes Current
with Womack Electric
The need to update aging assets has never been greater. In the U.S., 82% of commercial buildings were built prior to 2000, and many of these buildings now require urgent updates to bring them up to modern standards for energy efficiency, electrical code compliance, and more.
Meanwhile, industrial manufacturers are faced with a need to modernize their facilities. As Industry 4.0 becomes more widespread, companies that aren’t effectively adopting modern solutions such as IIoT, cloud computing, or automation robotics are at risk of falling behind the competition as these technologies become more prevalent.
At Womack Electric, we understand the challenges associated with modernizing aging assets and infrastructure, and we’re committed to helping our customers overcome them. From our wide range of products from industry-leading brands to our lineup of expert services, we have what you and your customers need to improve profitability through modernization. Recent legislation has been passed to result in massive infrastructure spending in many areas including water/wastewater, power grid, civil projects, and others. Womack Electric Supply customers can depend upon us to have the products and services they need for aging building and aging infrastructure repair, maintenance, and renovation projects.
Key Areas of Concern – Where Womack Can Help:
Effects of Climate Events on Aging Energy Grid, Infrastructure, and Buildings
Extreme climate events are exacerbating issues caused by past-due infrastructure repairs in the US. From higher intensity weather events and flooding damaging infrastructure to extreme temperatures stressing the energy grid, the effects of climate change are a present issue, and one that is likely to worsen over the foreseeable future. More than 70% of the US grid is >25 years old, and climate change will only accelerate the need for upgrades and improvements.
Deteriorating Water & Wastewater Infrastructure
A water main break now occurs somewhere in the U.S. every two minutes, and an estimated 6 million gallons of treated water are lost each day. The EPA has identified a need for over $744 billion to enhance and restore water, wastewater, and storm water systems. Contractors and utility staff workers are seeking more solutions for the implementation of digital, smart, and automation technologies.
Industrial Modernization
Around the world, manufacturers are ramping up their investment in key technology areas, seeking to overcome existing pain points in their operations, improve their product and service offerings, or simply keep up with competitors that are more digitally savvy. Industrial facility workers are seeking modernization with the latest in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): collections of sensors, instruments, robotics and autonomous devices connected through the internet to modernize industrial applications.
Renovation, Retrofit, and Refurbishment of Aging Buildings
The vast majority of the commercial buildings in the US were built before 2000. Retrofits are a great solution to this issue, especially when it comes to improving sustainability and energy efficiency for these buildings. Retrofitting options include electrical system upgrades, LED lighting, HVAC upgrades, etc. Retrofitting is also a great option for schools, healthcare facilities, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and more.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), also known as the bipartisan infrastructure bill, will increase federal spending on infrastructure by about $550 billion over the next decade, nearly all through grants to state and local governments, which own much of the nation’s infrastructure. The funding is earmarked for investment in infrastructure funding for public transit, bridge and highways, water and wastewater, high-speed internet, clean energy transmission, electric vehicles and charging systems.
