Electrix Receives Green Award from the Northwest Construction Consumer Council

Vancouver, WA- November 14, 2008- Building a first-of-its-kind Tire Processing Facility that recovers highly valuable materials including carbon, steel, oil and energy from discarded tires has earned Electrix LLC, a Vancouver- based, full service electrical contractor, a top construction honor.

The Northwest Construction Consumer Council (NWCCC) awarded Electrix an honorable mention in the Green Category at the Council’s Annual Conference and 2008 Distinguished Project Awards luncheon.

The project was chosen based on the overall safety record of zero incidents and the innovative approach to clean energy. Not only will the process recover valuable resources, but the state-of-the art facilities are projected to produce up to 90% less greenhouse emissions than current tire disposal methods, such as burning. The next phase of the project will result in a self-sustaining facility where 60% of the energy will come from the gases of the actual process for co-generation power production.

“Electrix was very pleased to partner with Reklaim Technologies and contribute to such a unique, innovative project, and was honored to be recognized by NWCCC,” said Raymond Kelly, President of Electrix. “The strong collaboration of the entire project team and Reklaim, and our expertise in highly-technical industrial projects played a critical role in delivering quality workmanship, on time and within budget.”

“Reklaim would like to thank Electrix for being tremendous partners and supporters”, said Roland Dawson, Chief Executive Officer of Reklaim Technologies. “Electrix stands out as one of the most professional companies I have been involved with over the past several years. Their work force was excellent in every way, from managing and organizing to field installation.”
Electrix was involved in the project from the ground up and was tasked with the full installation of all electrical components for the industrial facility, including instrumentation and controls, power distribution, fire alarm system and multiple generator emergency back-up systems.
