Abstract

Northwest Arkansas is a rapidly expanding area for both residential and commercial/industrial development. In response to this growth, the new Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (NWARA) was built near Bentonville, Arkansas, an area served by Carroll Electric Cooperative Corporation (CECC). The airport is expected to further spur development in this high growth area, giving CECC every reason to provide world class service to this high profile installation. This paper describes the system which was installed and its overall operation procedures. It also discuss Carroll ECC´s experiences with the installation and subsequent performance of their largest and highest profile underground project to date
