Assessment finds maintenance issues at Port of Fernandina

According to a report from Electrical Constractors, several underground electrical boxes at the Port of Fernandina are in areas which flood regularly. Underground boxes are common even in wet areas, but any splices should be made with devices that are water resistant and listed for wet areas, the report recommended.
