Electrical Design
PE-stamped electrical engineering from power distribution through instrumentation wiring—designed for constructability.
The Challenge
Electrical design disconnects create costly field problems
When electrical design is performed by a firm that doesn't understand controls and instrumentation, the result is a set of drawings that meets code requirements but doesn't serve the automation system effectively. Power sizing is adequate but panel locations don't account for cable routing to field devices. Conduit schedules are specified but junction box placement doesn't align with instrument installation requirements.
These disconnects create costly change orders during construction, force awkward field routing of instrumentation cables, and sometimes require panel modifications after fabrication. The root cause is a separation between the electrical designer and the controls/instrumentation engineer—each works in isolation without understanding the other's requirements.
Many facilities also face the challenge of working in multiple jurisdictions with different code requirements and permitting processes. An electrical design firm that only works in one state may not understand the variations in NEC adoption, local amendments, and permitting requirements across your service area.
Our Approach
Integrated electrical and controls design under one roof
Because we provide both electrical design and controls engineering, our electrical drawings are inherently coordinated with the automation system. The engineer who sizes the MCC also specifies the VFD parameters. The designer who routes conduit also knows where every instrument will be installed. This integrated approach eliminates the coordination gaps that plague projects where electrical and controls design are performed by separate firms.
Our electrical designs are practical and constructable. We work closely with electrical contractors, understand real-world installation challenges, and design systems that can be built efficiently. Our drawings are detailed, clearly organized, and include the information that contractors need to provide accurate bids and complete installations without excessive RFIs.
Our professional engineers hold licenses in 10 Western states, allowing us to stamp and seal drawings for projects across the region without requiring subconsultant agreements for PE services.
