Utah State Correctional Facility

Wilson Electric has partnered with CML Security who is the state-wide security system provider and detention contractor for the new Utah State Correctional Facility. We provided special systems services, BIM and start-up assistance for six buildings on the new Utah State Correctional Facility campus totaling 280,000 square feet. The 170-acre Utah State Prison site sits near 7200 West and I-80. The new prison will house 3,600 inmates and the current prison in Draper will close.

Concrete walls are poured on site, then stacked up to form the new men’s maximum security unit. Once the walls are stacked up, a crane drops in the cells which are manufactured offsite. The cells come with everything already inside including a metal bed, toilet, sink and a small desk. The ceiling of the cell becomes the floor for the unit above.

Behind the cells, corridors have been constructed so that maintenance can be done on electrical, sewer and other utilities without ever having to go into a cell. This process is much more inexpensive and efficient, allowing for an entire building to be completed in as little as one month.

Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Detention Facility
Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community Detention Center – The SRPMIC Adult and Juvenile Detention Center provides housing for 130 detainees with planned future expansion to 200. The facility is designed to reflect the cultural and community values of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, and focuses on the importance of rehabilitation and successful reintegration of its members back into the community as part of the healing process. As part of the master-planned community complex, the site is organized with the administration building flanked by two intake areas, one for juvenile and one for adults.

Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail
The 561,000 square foot mid-rise in Downtown Phoenix is seven stories, holding over 1,000 cells and over 2,000 beds for pre-trials and inmates. Low to high security is provided at the County’s main detention facility. Wilson Electric provided preconstruction design assistance and electrical installation for the ground up construction, and NETSIAN provided customized design and installation for the integrated controlled access system, including 750 security cameras and over 2,000 electronically operated cell doors and passages.

Pima County Courts Complex
This 288,000 square foot, seven-story tower is designed for the City of Tucson and Pima County as a joint usage courts building located in the heart of downtown Tucson. Adjacent to the partially occupied existing facility, Phase I’s shell build-out is expected to be complete in December 2013, with Phase II providing the physical build-out.

Red Rock Correctional Facility
Owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the 285,000 square foot, all-male medium security campus includes 10 buildings housing 1,596 inmates. Our team has completed multiple projects at the facility in the past 10 years, from new construction to tenant improvement to security upgrades. Our Service Department currently provides ongoing electrical maintenance at multiple CCA facilities across Arizona, including Red Rock. Expected to be complete in December 2013, the current project adds a guard station at the parking lot entry and a new warehouse building to the complex we originally constructed in 2006. It expands a number of facilities including the administration building. A new addition to Structure B in the Prison Area will have a new kitchen and dining hall as well as a manufacturing facility for AZ Corrections Industries.
