Highly Trained Professional Technicians
Shambaugh is committed to offering professional electrical services within a safe work environment. In order to fulfill this commitment, Shambaugh hires the most highly qualified electricians and continually supports them with industry-leading training and technology. Our field electricians also participate in a five-year apprenticeship program.
Preventative Maintenance
Regular preventative maintenance is vital to a successful building management program—it helps preserve the initial capital investment in both building structure and equipment while simultaneously enhancing the sustainability and comfort of the facility. Successful preventative maintenance programs also help determine overall operating costs and reduce disruptions caused by emergency repairs or sudden equipment replacement.
Shambaugh works closely with our customers to develop a comprehensive preventative maintenance program that fits a facility’s specific needs. Our skilled IBEW-trained and -certified electricians help ensure customers receive industry-leading maintenance service.
Service & Special Projects
When an unexpected need arises that isn’t part of a comprehensive maintenance plan, Shambaugh‘s mobile services team is dependable, equipped, and ready to respond. We can tackle small construction projects as they arise, whether that requires fixing an outlet, troubleshooting a generator, or retrofitting a small area or office space.
Shambaugh is proud of our decades-long tradition of serving customers safely, efficiently, on time, and on budget.

General Motors Sustainable Energy FORT WAYNE, IN
Value Delivered
Fort Wayne Assembly, a GM truck and bus assembly plant, recently contracted Shambaugh to perform electrical work on a state-of-the-art sustainable energy system powered by methane gas from landfills. Shambaugh was able to incorporate significant value-engineering deductions into the project. The highly advanced, sustainable system was recently completed and supplies the plant with 28 percent of its electricity, saving GM nearly $3.5 million a year in energy costs. The power output of GM’s prior wind power project and their current landfill gas project together provide 100% of the company’s electricity needs. Fort Wayne Assembly was awarded the 2017 EPA Energy Star Award for superior energy performance.
Client Objectives
GM set out to transform Fort Wayne Assembly into a co-generation, sustainable facility. Powered by methane gas pumped from roughly 8 miles away, the facility was the first plant of its kind to use methane gas produced by landfills to generate electricity.
Solutions
The highly complex methane system relies upon four 20-cylinder combustible engines attached to four generators, which were furnished and installed by Shambaugh’s team. The piping and electrical work for these generators has become the prototype installation for other GM facilities around the nation.
- Furnished and installed four 1.6-MW generators
- Paralleling switchgear
- 6MVA pad-mounted transformer
- 24VDC battery system
- New gas monitoring system and building fire alarm
- All building lighting and controls
Client Background
GM is a multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes vehicles.
Mill Creek Community School Corporation - Mill Creek Solar Farm Clayton, IN
Value Delivered
Shambaugh installed a state-of-the-art solar farm for the Mill Creek Community School Corporation (Mill Creek). Serving the Mill Creek West Elementary School, the solar farm has substantially decreased the school’s electrical bills and is targeted to produce enough power to offset 100 percent of the school’s annual consumption, transforming the school into a net-zero building for energy consumption.
Client Objectives
Mill Creek envisioned that the Mill Creek West Elementary School could become one of the first schools in the Midwest to build, own, and operate an alternative energy system.
Solutions
During the project, Shambaugh installed 348 solar panels for the 110W solar facility, which has the capacity to produce more than 430,000-kilowatt hours annually. Along with the solar equipment, Shambaugh also installed highly efficient light emitting diode (LED) lighting for the project, which further lowered Mill Creek’s energy expenses.
Client Background
Formed in 1964, the Mill Creek Community School Corporation serves students in Hendricks County, Indiana. In addition to Mill Creek West Elementary, Mill Creek operates four other schools, all committed to providing an outstanding education to their students.
