Capabilities

Power System Engineering

Service website

Provides analysis and modeling of electrical networks to optimize reliability, capacity, and protection. The practice utilizes specialized software tools to simulate network behaviors under varied conditions.

  • Load Flow Analysis

    Simulates operating conditions to evaluate voltage profiles, power factor, and equipment loadings.

  • Short Circuit Analysis

    Calculates potential fault currents to ensure protective equipment can safely interrupt electrical faults.

  • Protective Device Coordination Study

    Determines optimal settings for relays, breakers, and fuses to isolate faults quickly while minimizing service disruption.

  • Power Quality Monitoring

    Measures and analyzes voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and transients to resolve system disturbances.

  • NEC 220.87 Load Studies

    Performs load calculations based on historical demand data to verify capacity for building additions or modifications.

  • Relay Protection Systems

    Configures and coordinates protective relays to guard electrical equipment against damaging overcurrent and fault events.

Arc Flash Studies

Service website

Assesses potential heat energy release during electrical faults to safeguard personnel and meet regulatory standards.

  • Arc Flash Risk Assessment

    Calculates incident energy levels at electrical nodes to define boundaries and safe working distances.

  • Arc Flash and Shock Hazard Analysis

    Evaluates electrical system conditions to determine specific PPE requirements and safety boundaries.

Field Evaluation and Testing

Service website

Conducts on-site verification and testing of electrical infrastructure to verify safety, performance, and standards compliance.

  • Equipment Evaluation

    Inspects and tests existing electrical distribution gear to verify suitability and code compliance.

  • Infrared Thermography Survey

    Utilizes thermal imaging to detect overheating joints, unbalanced loads, and overloaded circuits before failure occurs.

  • NRTL Field Evaluation

    Coordinates on-site testing and certification for unlisted electrical machinery to meet local safety codes.

Control Systems Engineering

Service website

Designs and configures systems to automate industrial processes and electrical infrastructure.

  • Instrumentation and Control Systems Engineering

    Develops detailed loop drawings, sensor selections, and control architectures for industrial processes.

OSHA Compliance and Safety

Service website

Helps facilities meet workplace safety standards by identifying hazards and developing clear procedures.

  • Lock-Out-Tag-Out Procedures

    Develops detailed, machine-specific energy isolation procedures to protect workers during servicing.

  • Electrical Safety and Code Compliance

    Identifies NEC code violations and implements NFPA 70 and NFPA 70E standards to ensure workplace safety.
