Overview

Olsson Industrial Electric completed a project in the spring of 2012 that included the start-up and commissioning of a paper mill that had been shuttered for the past five years. Due to a compressed construction schedule, the Olsson field crew worked around the clock in order to complete the project. The project featured 24-hour staffing.
