This new facility for Moffitt Ford Lincoln Mercury in Boone
is a 34,000 square foot structure complete with showroom,
body shop, and service and parts area. The building was designed
by Story Design Limited. The entire scope of the electrical
design was completed by Nelson Electric in-house. Nelson
Electric developed AutoCAD drawings to assist field workers
and design partners in the installation of the their work.
The exterior required lot lighting, flag pole lighting,
building lighting, and signage. The interior is broken down
into three separate areas.
First is the showroom with its 4' by 4' fluorescent parabolic
troffers, metal halide recessed lights, low voltage cable
track lighting, and low voltage “ring” fixture
which illuminates the reception desk.
The second area is the body shop. This area is lit with
pulse start metal halide fixtures. It also included the wiring
of a Garmat Spray Booth.
The third is the service and parts area. This area is lit
with pulse start metal halide fixtures and fluorescent industrial
fixtures. All of the powered service equipment is located
here. There are fourteen two- and four-post hoists, one alignment
machine, and one rotary machine, as well as air compressors,
a vehicle power washer, and central vacuum system.
The wiring of the mechanical equipment consisted of heating
systems, exhaust systems, and a make-up air system. The building
has a Square D 800 amp three phase four wire 277/480V main
service and distribution system with eight sub panels.
