Services
Electrical Design
Our electrical design services cover medium and low voltage distribution systems for municipal water and wastewater facilities. We create customized power solutions that meet current regulatory standards while ensuring system reliability. Our engineers specialize in integrating standby power generation with primary electrical infrastructure to maintain continuous operations during outages.
SCADA Design
We design SCADA systems using platforms like VTScada, iFix, WinCC, and Wonderware to optimize water/wastewater treatment processes. Our implementations include industrial Ethernet networks and cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure. The systems enable real-time monitoring and remote control of treatment facility operations across multiple geographic locations.
PLC Systems
Our PLC system designs support Allen Bradley (Rockwell), Siemens, and Schneider (Modicon) platforms for process automation. These systems improve operational efficiency through precise control of treatment processes. We integrate PLCs with existing infrastructure while ensuring compatibility with future expansion requirements.
Lighting Systems
We develop energy-efficient lighting solutions for treatment facilities that comply with safety and operational requirements. Our designs incorporate emergency lighting systems and controls that adapt to different operational scenarios. The systems balance functionality with energy conservation goals for municipal clients.
Arc Flash Studies
Our electrical safety analysis includes short circuit and arc flash studies to identify hazards in distribution systems. We provide detailed risk assessments and mitigation recommendations that meet NFPA 70E standards. These studies help facilities maintain safe working conditions for electrical maintenance personnel.
