Your team was the best that I’ve ever worked with during my long career. There was always a major challenge every day that the team had to overcome, in order to keep the work moving forward and on schedule. They were the best.

Based on past performance history, we were expecting another solid performance and that is exactly what EBI delivered. We are very pleased with the outcome.

Project Manager, Exelon

Why EBI:

We were called on to provide isolated phase bus duct and generator bushing current transformer (CT) removal and replacement services, and took the project from start to finish.
