Project outline
Brian Kurtz Trucking Ltd. In North America has been in operation since 1980 and provides regular LTL and Truckload services between Southwestern Ontario in Canada and 48 US states. Their service program includes temperature controlled services, hazardous materials services, expedite services, one call logistics services and dedicated truck services. The company’s mission is to provide better, more reliable service than anyone. No ifs, ands, buts, or maybes! The management plans are set to continue growth based on the finest quality and service in the industry.
The company has installed lighting for various locations, including their warehouse/distribution center, maintenance shop, truck shop and the outdoor packaging areas. In the Breslau facility all the lighting needed modernization. A plan was developed to upgrade the existing T12 8'x 2 lamps and some 400W MH Core on Coil units. The following in depth audit that was performed by Eco-Shift Power Corp. resulted in the recommendation to replace the majority of lighting units for the 250W MH Nedap Luxon solution. In some low-bay areas the logical decision was made to replace existing lighting units for modern T5 4'x 2 – 54W lamps.
