PSNH Electrical Utilites
The Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), the state’s largest electric utility and subsidiary of Northeast Utilities, have been longtime customers of Ulrich Planfiling, utilizing their vertical filing systems to house engineering prints and drawings of distribution lines. These drawings represent a complicated network that supplies more than 490,000 homes and businesses in New Hampshire with electric. Ulrich Planfiles are located in numerous PSNH facilities, which all together include 12 plants, both hydroelectric and fossil fuel-fired.
Along with their previously owned Planfiles, PSNH has also recently added several more as part of a move, which involved safely transporting important documentation between two different facilities. The wheels included on all Ulrich Planfile, Minifile and Cadfile models make for ease in transport. All of these cabinets are designed to roll easily through any standard interior doorway. Ulrich cabinets allowed PSNH to roll the cabinets, fully loaded with documents, out of the building and on to a truck, then roll the cabinets off of the truck, through the new building and into position and be immediately ready for work – no unpacking required!
If they were using flat file cabinets they would have had to unload the drawings, pack them for transport and then disassemble the flat file cabinets. This has to be done because the only way to bring flat file cabinets into and out of a room is by tipping them on their side one section at a time. Both the drawings and flat file cabinets would have had to be lifted and carried from their old building to their new building. The cabinets would have needed to be reassembled. The documents would need to be unpacked and returned to the proper drawers in the flat file cabinets. PSNH would have been unable to access their distribution line drawings and prints for days, even weeks. Not to mention the added labor cost.
Besides the convenience during their recent move, PSNH also appreciates the numerous advantages Ulrich Planfiles
- Superb document protection: fire resistant and water resistant
- Ease of use, drawings are easily accessible and well organized
- Saved floor space with the same capacity as flat files
- Affordability! When comparing equal storage capacities Ulrich Planfiles have all these extra features and. . . . . they cost Less!
As the largest Utility in New Hampshire PSNH trusts Ulrich Planfiling to save space and protect documents.
