chemical building, filter building and pump house. The
chemical building contains the chemicals for the treatment of the water storage and injection system. The
filter building has two large filters and mixers for raw

Featured Project:
Rapid City Regional Hospital CUP
The Rapid City Regional Hospital will soon welcome
a new addition, the Central Utilities Plant (CUP), which is
expected to be completed in April 2009. Muth Electric began its portion of the project in June 2007.
In addition to the 31,033 square feet Central Utilities Plant, renovation is also being done on the existing
11,840 square feet hospital. A new grounds building was
constructed, which provides a place for the grounds personnel to work on and store maintenance equipment.
Two tunnels were built under the existing hospital,
as well as the new addition. These tie into an existing tunnel, which is where all emergency electrical systems have
been interfaced while the Rapid City Regional remained
open for business. This tunnel will be the pathway for all
systems into the existing hospital and future extension of
systems.
Muth Electric installed two 4000 amp services to
the new CUP building. One feeds the cooling equipment,
while the other feeds life safety, critical, emergency equipment and emergency power through four automatic transfer switches that serve the existing hospital. Two 2000KVA
generators were set in place that feed to a 6000 amp paralleling switchboard, which controls the transfer of emergency power throughout the entire hospital complex.
Muth Electric’s contract is with Scull Construction,
Rapid City, SD; while HDR Architecture, Inc. of Dallas, TX
serves as both the architect and engineer on the project.
Dan Vetsch is the Project Manager, while Ed
Pauly and Don Walker serve as the Project Foreman and
Project Estimator. Other employees assisting in the project are Jon Williams, Nick Cockrell, Jeremy Coon, Ryan
Schrempp, Jeff Bergstrom, Ryan Painter, Josh Farley,

Featured Project:
Midland National Life Insurance
Muth Technology began working on Midland National’s new headquarters in Sioux Falls in February
2008. The building is expected to be completed and
open for business in February 2009.
Midland National is one of the leading insurance
companies in the United States. It has offices located in
49 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands.
The new building has five Intermediate Distribution Facility (IDF) closets and a main data room on first
floor, which contain networking equipment that deliver
connections throughout the building. There is over 300
cubicles, a large mailroom, and also a large cafe area with
a patio that looks over their pond.
The Midland National building has a raised floor
throughout the entire building to hide all of the data and
voice cables which are run under the floor. There are also
45 zone boxes under the floor, which breaks the floors into
different zones so that cable runs are not so long. Cables
run from the data room to the IDF closets, then from the
closets to the zone boxes. .
Some interesting facts about this project is there
are 58 miles of copper cable pulled and a mile of fiber in
the building. There are also 42 wireless access points installed in the building.
Muth Technology was awarded its contract from
Fiegen Construction of Sioux Falls, SD. Koch Hazard Architects are both the architect and engineer on the project.
The Project Manager on the project is Keith
Beachler, while Chris Heberlee is the Project Foreman.
Other employees assisting in the project are Jeff James,
Tom Bechen, Brian Rients, Jake Biel, Jack Sine, Tate
Worthington, Brian Haas, Brad Peterson, Chris Wells,
Bryan Glatt, John Tadlock, Ron Sabers, Tyler Bialas,
and Troy Mellegaard.
