Comprehensive Electrical Solutions for Critical Uptime Facilities

In-house engineering support, electrical network design, and ongoing electrical optimization services set us apart from other electrical contractors. We have deep experience in design and engineering of electrical systems in critical uptime facilities. For our clients, this means having a true partner for the full lifecycle of electrical systems – including an integrated team of engineering, installation, testing, and ongoing service and support of a team that knows what it takes to design, optimize, and maintain their facility to keep it running 24/7.

Key Components Include:

One-Line
Development

Our team provides a simplified, easy-to-understand overview of the electrical distribution network in our client’s facilities. As facilities become more complex and power reliability becomes more critical than ever, it’s critical to know the relationship between major components like transformers, circuit breakers, and loads, helping with maintenance, troubleshooting, system upgrades, and ensuring operational safety by clearly outlining how power flows through the facility.

As-Built
Development

As-built drawings of electrical systems are crucial for facility managers because they provide an accurate, updated record of how the electrical systems were installed and modified during construction. These drawings help with maintenance, troubleshooting, future upgrades, and ensuring safety by showing the exact location of components like wiring, panels, and circuits, which may differ from the original design.

Panel
Labeling

Our smart panel labeling systems incorporate QR codes for improved tracking and real-time updates. These systems allow facility managers and maintenance teams to access detailed circuit information and panel documentation by scanning the labels with mobile devices. Furthermore, arc flash labeling in compliance with updated NFPA 70E standards ensures that safety-critical information is prominently displayed, such as hazard levels and required personal protective equipment (PPE). This not only enhances operational efficiency but also significantly improves safety measures.

Lighting
Acceptance

Over the past decade, industrial lighting systems have seen significant advancements driven by improvements in energy efficiency, lighting quality, and smart technology integration.  Our team are in tune with new and emerging lighting technology and are trusted partners in the evaluation and verification that installed lighting systems meet design specifications, energy efficiency standards, and code requirements, ensuring proper operation, performance, and compliance before project approval.

NETA App
Consulting

Our team provides expert guidance on testing, commissioning, and maintaining electrical power systems according to the standards set by the International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) specific to our client’s needs in critical uptime facilities.

Feasibility
Studies

Feasibility studies of electrical systems by an electrical engineer are crucial because they assess whether a proposed electrical design is technically viable, cost-effective, and compliant with safety and regulatory standards. Our expert engineering team helps identify potential challenges, such as power requirements, environmental impacts, and infrastructure limitations, ensuring that the system can be implemented successfully.
