L2CMS Pilots Service Upgrade ProgramL2CMS, a DBA of INTREN, is piloting an Agriculture/New Business Turnkey Program in order to bring more power to farmers in the Central Valley Region of California. The project is an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) model focusing on electric distribution overhead and underground work. The purpose of the project is to provide clients with a more cost effective alternative to complete this type of work from start to finish.

Due to a major drought on the west coast, Central California farmers have begun to dig deeper in order to find the water they need to water their crops. Developed by L2CMS - a specialty service company concentrating on comprehensive pre-construction consultations, special program/project support and staff augmentation - the program is helping provide a more robust electrical distribution system to help farmers reach water at greater depths.

The project began as an experiment to give L2CMS’ clients a different perspective on how similar work could be done. By managing the entire process, L2CMS has provided the client with shorter engineering, project management and construction times, and ultimately at a reduced cost. L2CMS launched this project in February 2016, and has established a Project Management Office (PMO) which manages the overall program, as well as subcontractors. Having already received the third and final wave of the pilot at the end of May, L2CMS is scheduled to complete the pilot program by the end of June. The fourth wave will be received early June and the program will shift from pilot to an implemented program.

“This is the first program for our electrical distribution team working on an EPC type model,” said Sarah Douglas, Director of L2CMS. “The whole team is pleased with the project we are making. We look forward to implementing this type of work model on future projects.”
