FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Integrated Electrical Services Awarded Contract to Provide Electrical Systems for U.S. Army Medical
Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
HOUSTON (November 24, 2009) IES (Nasdaq: IESC), a leading national provider of electrical and
communications systems and services for the commercial, industrial and residential markets,
announced today that its commercial business group has been awarded a contract from Manhattan
Torcon JV to install the electrical systems for the Level 4 bio-safety lab (BSL-4) replacement
facility at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort
Detrick in Frederick, Md.
The new USAMRIID replacement facility will add approximately 865,000 gross square feet of
constructed area, including all mechanical, electrical and other support spaces. The new USAMRIID
Replacement facility, the only laboratory in the Department of Defense (DoD) equipped to safely
study highly hazardous infectious agents requiring maximum containment, will provide for the
decompression of existing functions and staff at the existing National Interagency Biodefense
Campus.
Level 4 bio-safety labs like USAMRIID are complex, costly, and secure facilities designed to
analyze the most deadly diseases, said Ted Baker, executive vice president of Manhattan
Construction. Our objective was to put together a comprehensive project team with the expertise to
deliver to exacting standards. IES expertise to deliver in an extremely rigorous environment,
along with their ability to execute large scale electrical systems, played a key role in our
ability to secure this project.
Electrical and communications systems play a vital role in maintaining the secure environment
called for in a facility such as this, said Michael J. Caliel, president and chief executive
officer of IES. IES is honored to assist in the expansion of such an important facility.
