Video Categories: ,

Five years ago, a team from Barts Electric, a national leader in electrical construction contracting, stepped onto a bare piece of land—an untouched site that was little more than dirt and open space. Today, that same space is home to the impressive Walmart World Campus, a facility that stands as a testament to innovation, sustainability, and skilled craftsmanship.

This transformation is more than just a remarkable construction story—it’s a showcase of the critical role that skilled electricians play in large-scale development projects. For current electricians and those considering a future in the field, this project highlights the kind of high-impact, rewarding work that professionals at Barts Electric take part in every day.

The Beginnings: Underground Work and Infrastructure

When Barts Electric first arrived on site, the only work that had begun was underground. The team got to work on infrastructure essentials, including hydronic systems and electrical distribution. Laying the groundwork for a high-functioning campus required careful planning and expert execution—something the Barts Electric crew brought to every phase.

Building a Sustainable Future

As the campus took shape, its design leaned into sustainability and innovation. The buildings are constructed with modular wooden frames, beams, and columns. Once the structural wood framework is in place, the Barts Electric team steps in to install the exterior skins and power systems, bringing each structure to life.

The result? A modern, green facility that serves as a state-of-the-art workplace and a shining example of what’s possible when experienced tradespeople collaborate on a mission-driven project.

Five years ago, the Barts Electric team showed up for the first time, and this was dirt as far as you could see—nothing. They were just starting the infrastructure: the underground facilities, hydronics, electrical distribution.

And look what we have today—the Walmart World Campus. This is a fantastic facility. Very green, nice new modular buildings.

The skins are put on separate from the wood structure—all wooden frames, beams, columns. Then we come in and put the skin on, and then we go to work.
