Our power distribution design includes sizing the electrical service to a facility and having system protection schemes that are coordinated to meet the requirements of the electrical loads at the facility. Electrical distribution equipment within industrial and agricultural facilities includes switchboards, motor control centers, distribution panelboards, capacitor banks, and transformers.

Proper grounding and bonding at industrial and agricultural facilities is essential for personnel and equipment protection. A facility that is properly grounded helps eliminate downtime due to nuisance tripping of production equipment or equipment failure due to overvoltage conditions.

Lighting design includes light fixture selection and layout that meets all code requirements and conditions for the space – wet location, classified area, corrosive environment, etc. Exit and emergency lighting is designed to meet life safety code requirements.

We work alongside facility owners and plant operators to ensure that the design of the motor controls and process automation system is fully integrated and implemented and meets the operational needs of the facility. We also work to ensure that the design solution meets applicable regulatory codes and industry safety standards.

Data communication systems are the lifeblood of facilities business and operation systems. We work with our clients to ensure that proper redundancy and resiliency is incorporated into the data system infrastructure design.

As part of our design process, we help our clients determine if specific studies are required alongside the design service. Specific engineering studies offered include the following:

• Arc Flash and Coordination Studies
• Power Quality Studies
• Energy Audits
• Area Classification Assessments
