Horn Engineering

Chuck Nicholson Chevrolet Buick GMC recently completed a Chevrolet image upgrade at its Holmes County facility on State Route 39 just east of Millersburg, OH. As directed by the GM image program and in cooperation with Dick Fisher of R. Fisher Architects of Dover, OH, Horn Engineering designed the modernized facility for energy saving lighting and a more efficient electrical distribution system throughout the “customer-touch” areas of the facility. Voice and data communications were upgraded in the sales area, and new indoor service intake and automobile delivery areas were added to enhance the customer experience.

The Nicholson dealerships pride themselves on “Big City Selection with a Small Town Touch,” and the thoroughly renovated Millersburg dealership adds credence to their motto. Horn Engineering is pleased to have been of service to Chuck and his team in their latest construction endeavor, and we wish them the best at both their Millersburg and Dover locations.

Horn Engineering recently designed a new 1200 amp outdoor electrical service at Atwood Lake Park specifically for an outdoor performance venue near the campgrounds, which features the annual Alive Festival.

The Alive Festival is an annual Christian music festival that was started by a local couple twenty-six years ago. Sixty bands typically perform for the four-day event. Thirty weekend seminars and workshops are hosted at the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District facilities, and several renowned speakers and worship leaders are also invited to address the festival goers. People from all across the United States and Canada were in attendance when the festival took place from June 19 to 22.

Power at this remote site previously was provided by portable generators, which created noise and reliability problems in this formerly electricity-challenged venue. The MWCD engaged Horn Engineering to work with American Electric Power in bringing power to the site and designing a large electrical service with appropriate cam-lock type terminal connectors to provide for the portable power needs of theatrical lighting and audio amplifiers.

Horn Engineering is pleased to have assisted MWCD on this and many other projects at its lakes and various office/campground facilities.
