About the Project
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building is the centre of government in Saskatchewan, originally constructed between 1908 and 1912. The building was designed in the shape of a cross with the top of the dome rising 53 metres above ground level. The legislature is recognized as one of the most historic properties in all of Saskatchewan. In 1997, a restoration of the Legislative Building was undertaken to address major structural problems and preserve the building for future generations.

Humboldt Electric's Work
This project presented two major challenges. The first was renovating and installing electrical systems in a building that is closing in on being a century old. We had to take great care not to damage any parts of the structure as we worked. The second challenge was scheduling our work around the people that had to keep using the building. The legislature had to remain open during the project. We also changed the power distribution system, and we installed a new high tech fire alarm system throughout the entire building.

_____
Key Challenges

• Installing electrical systems without damaging the old building
• Scheduling work to keep the legislature open and running
• Proper installation of high tech fire alarm system
