Project Description

EXCEL is powering the future of sustainable energy at Heartwell Renewables’ new grassroots Renewable Diesel facility in Hastings, NE. As the Electrical and Instrumentation partner, our teams are driving progress across three primary units—RDU, PTU, and Utilities—where spent oils and fats will be transformed into clean diesel fuel for on- and off-road applications.

Since breaking ground in September 2025, crews have delivered impressive results:
  • Installed over 21,000 feet of cable tray and 13,000 feet of grounding
  • Pulled 50,000 feet of electrical cable and set 20+ pieces of electrical equipment
  • Mounted 100 light fixtures and 1,000 feet of instrument air piping
  • Achieved 45,000 work hours to date with zero lost time incidents

In the first eight weeks alone, our team energized the Power Distribution buildings by installing 7,500 feet of cable tray and pulling 22,000 feet of cable, providing critical construction power and keeping the project on track.

With a projected peak headcount of 180 and ambitious goals—over 40,000 feet of cable tray, 1.5 million feet of cable, 1,700+ instruments, and 320+ pieces of equipment.
