City officials in Colorado Springs, Colorado, along with federal and state parks and historic services, have chosen Caterpillar dealer Wagner Equipment to deliver and install a new prime power system in a new $50 million, 38,000-square-foot (3,530.3-square-meter) Pikes Peak Summit Complex opening later this year. The Cat C27 diesel generator set will provide 600 kilowatts power to the visitor center, which is located at 14,115 feet (4,302.3 meters), making it the nation’s highest active construction project, Cat says.

“Unmatched Performance”

Wagner Equipment has served construction, mining, agriculture, and other heavy-equipment buyers in Colorado, New Mexico, and west Texas since 1976. The tourist complex Wagner is servicing will feature enhanced amenities, more educational experiences, and greater accessibility for the roughly 60,000 visitors who visit Pikes Peak annually. The complex will also house a high-altitude research lab for the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine.

J.R. Bond, operations manager of project electrical contractor Encore Electric, acknowledges Pikes Peaks’ harsh conditions but says, “Caterpillar has an impeccable reputation for performance that is critical for operations while keeping guests and staff safe and comfortable at all times.” Jason Kaiser, Caterpillar Retail Electric Power Solutions general manager, echoed those sentiments, saying, “Cat power solutions provide unmatched performance and reliability in the most challenging environments in the world, from mine sites above the Arctic Circle to telecommunications towers at the equator.”
