EMCOR Group, Inc. Subsidiary Awarded Contract For Installation Of Electrical Systems At The New Utah Museum Of Natural History

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, May 28, 2009 - EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME), a Fortune 500® leader in mechanical and electrical construction, energy infrastructure and facilities services for a diverse range of businesses, reported that as previously noted on its 4/28/09 First Quarter Earnings Call, its subsidiary Wasatch Electric has received a contract for the installation of the total electrical systems involved in the construction of the new Utah Museum of Natural History located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Wasatch Electric will be responsible for the installation of all electrical systems throughout the Museum, including extensive duct banks and underground vaults for the high voltage system. Wasatch will also install a 1500 KW generator for emergency power and all building systems, including, fire alarm, smoke control, VESDA and A/V systems. Further, Wasatch Electric will be responsible for very specialized power and lighting required for the Museum exhibits.

The Museum building is comprised of six levels integrated into the natural landscape, with a series of terraces that follow the contour of the site. The unique design of the building presents many electrical installation challenges that will require creative solutions.

The building has a total of 161,000 square feet of space, which is almost twice the size of the current facility, which is located on the University of Utah campus. Scheduled for opening in early 2011, The Museum is anticipated to be LEED Certified and includes sustainable features, such as a partial green roof, recycled and recyclable building materials, and landscaping with native plants.

"It’s an honor to have been chosen be part of this significant project for Utah," said Tim Homer, President of Wasatch Electric. "State-of-the-art electrical installations will be an important aspect of the project, playing a major role in the showcase and preservation of exhibits, safety and comfort of visitors, and the overall function and operation of the facility, which is envisioned to be exceedingly beautiful and inspirational, as well as environmentally friendly."
