Our team is no stranger to working in facilities that require high security precautions. So when the North Lake Correctional Facility, a medium security detention center in Baldwin, MI, was looking for a project partner, FZ was a solid choice.

FZ provided the electrical construction throughout a multi-phase expansion project including housing units, gyms, and an administration building. We provided all wiring and rough-ins to power the individual dorms, security features such as cameras, door locks, and speakers, and the complete installation of a new fire alarm system. All housing units have control rooms capable of remote lockdown in the event of an emergency,

As a Design Services partner, our team started working before the electrical design was completed, thus expediting the short project schedule. Working closely with the GEO Group, we adhered to stringent specs and security considerations given the function and size of the 1,740-bed facility. Our crews left job sites pristine post-installation, with no materials to potentially compromise inmate and employee security.
