We keep our clients on the cutting edge of technology with high-quality network cabling designs and professional consulting in facility and campus network infrastructure and architectural design. Ridewater Technologies, LLC has extensive design and consulting engineering experience with government, manufacturing, and commercial accounts.
To provide and educate our clients with cutting-edge technologies in smart building design by integrating the Internet of Things (IoT), IT, I/O controls, environmental controls, and other leading technologies.
We believe in a collaborative, client-focused approach to engineering ensuring comprehensive designs are created early in the architectural process preventing problems and costly change orders when clients move in.
Owner Marc Adkison, RCDD, retired from the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard as an EI Project Engineer after 23 years of service. He successfully completed many telecommunications designs for an A/E firm designing multi-million dollar projects for the Army Corps of Engineers, NAVFAC, AFCEC, and the Air National Guard to support missions all over the world. He also worked in the manufacturing sector designing network architecture for large manufacturing and distribution plants.
We listen to the end users. What are the needs of the business when you sit at your desk to work? How do you want to hold an online conference? How do you manage your network over the lifespan of a building? What areas need to be secured, how, and to what level? These questions are just examples of the critical components needed for a successful network cabling, A/V, paging, or security system design. We ask the right questions to find what our clients need in a finished and fully operational facility or campus.
We offer full design services for IT/IO/AV/Security network cabling infrastructure that looks 10 to 15 years into the future to capture the design to best support those needs. From the grounding systems, cable tray, conduit sizing, IT room layout, HVAC and electrical loads for telecommunications spaces, and inside and outside plant network architecture design, we cover all of the bases.
In addition to design, we offer training in the installation of structured cabling systems. The training teaches the proper techniques, codes, and standards required for successful installations. We train on fiber optic cable installation, splicing, and testing procedures. We train on all category cables including category 6, 6A, and 8. We also teach telecommunications theory as we feel understanding the "Why" increases the overall performance of field technicians.
