Diversified

Global technology provider Diversified announces the Washington Building Congress (WBC) has awarded the company a 2018 Craftsmanship Award for exceptional workmanship in Broadcast Systems at the United States Capitol, House of Representatives Chamber.

The WBC is a non-political association dedicated to building relationships with and among industry members, encouraging collaboration on best practices, and working together to advance the construction industry.

“We are honored to have been chosen for this award and to stand among a list of highly respected organizations in our industry,” says Fred D’Alessandro, Diversified Chairman and CEO.

“Our work at the Capitol is not only a representation of the outstanding capabilities of our team, but also our commitment to being the best at everything we do.”

The legacy broadcast system in the Capitol, House of Representatives Chamber, included equipment from the early 2000s that was nearing the end of its useful life.

To prevent unacceptable failure rates, the architect sought a new, upgraded. Working around Congress’s schedule, Diversified’s craftsmen worked nights and weekends to deliver a turnkey, audio broadcast system with state-of-the-art equipment, enhancing functionality for mission-critical events such as the Presidential State of the Union address.
