Nationwide coverage
Industries We Serve
Arc flash and power systems studies across sectors. The analysis is the same standard everywhere; the constraints on access, uptime, and documentation are not.
IEEE 1584 does not change from one industry to the next. What changes is when you can open the gear, how much of it can be de-energized, who audits the paperwork, and how the work gets purchased. A study scoped for a plant with an annual shutdown is scoped wrong for a hospital critical branch. Below is how we plan the work by sector.
Industrial & manufacturing
Continuous-process plants, food and beverage, chemical, and heavy manufacturing. The electrical system grew with the plant, so the one-line stopped matching reality several expansions ago. Data collection has to fit the shutdown window you already have rather than create a new one, and MCC-heavy systems mean high device counts and real motor contribution to fault current. Production loss per hour is usually the number that justifies the study, not the citation risk.
Healthcare
Hospitals, surgical centers, and clinics run an essential electrical system under NEC Article 517, split into life safety, critical, and equipment branches, with coordination requirements attached to those overcurrent devices. Nothing on the critical branch comes down for data collection. Imaging and OR loads change with every equipment replacement, which changes the study. Accreditation and corporate EHS surveys ask for the arc flash assessment date and the documentation behind it.
Data centers
Concurrent maintainability is the design premise, and it does not survive an under-rated breaker. Work happens on live gear because there is no de-energized window to schedule: UPS output, PDUs, busway taps, and static bypass all get maintained in service. That makes accurate incident energy and correct labeling on every PDU a working requirement, not paperwork. We plan around your MOP and change-freeze calendar.
Commercial & institutional
Office, retail, education, and mixed-use buildings, usually with three generations of gear in the same electrical room. Schools and campuses get one summer window a year. Tenant fit-outs move load around without anyone recalculating a feeder, and permitted work brings NEC 110.16 and 110.24 marking into scope. Deferred maintenance is common, so a study frequently turns into the first accurate inventory the building has had.
Municipal & water/wastewater
Treatment plants and pump stations combine corrosive, humid, washdown environments with electrical gear that has been in service for decades. Corrosion at connections shows up on infrared long before it shows up as an outage. Influent does not stop for an outage, and remote lift stations add travel to every scope. Capital budgets run on procurement cycles, so a fixed fee you can put in a requisition matters more than a range.
MEP firms & contractors
Subcontracted, white-labeled studies delivered on your project schedule, sealed by a PE licensed where the project sits. We write to the Division 26 power system studies spec section (26 05 73) so the submittal is reviewable as-is, and we deliver the settings sheet in time for startup rather than after it. Switchgear lead times drive the schedule; we work backward from your submittal date. See Partner With Us.
