Process plants, food & beverage, automotive, metals, and advanced manufacturing across Texas. Plant power, MCC retrofits, PLC integration, and tool hookup in occupied production environments.
Manufacturing electrical work is unforgiving. Production downtime costs more per hour than the entire electrical scope on most projects. Tie-ins happen during planned shutdowns measured in hours, not days. Equipment is energized and operating around the work. The job has to be planned around the plant’s production schedule, not the other way around.
We deliver electrical scope for new plant construction, capital retrofits in occupied production environments, and tool hookups for new process equipment. Our team is accustomed to the discipline of working alongside operations: lockout-tagout per NFPA 70E, planned downtime work, and night/weekend tie-ins when the line cannot come down during business hours.
MV service entrances for medium and large plants, unit substations distributing 480V three-phase to process areas. Plant-wide distribution sized for current production load with engineered headroom for capacity expansion. Multi-tap secondary services for separable plant sections.
Motor control center lineups (Eaton Freedom 2100, Square D Model 6, Siemens tiastar) supporting process motors from fractional HP through 1,500HP+. Soft-start and VFD installations (Allen-Bradley PowerFlex, ABB ACS880, Yaskawa) sized for application duty cycle.
PLC programming and integration on Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix, Siemens S7, and Modicon platforms. HMI development, SCADA on Ignition or FactoryTalk, and process equipment integration with field bus protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, Profinet).
Power and control hookups for production tools and process equipment. CNC machine power, robotic cells, packaging equipment, and material handling tied into the plant network. Equipment-specific grounding (low-impedance for sensitive electronics), conditioned power for instrumentation.
Power scope for plant utility systems: compressed air, chillers, boilers, cooling towers, and process water. VFD installations on utility motors for energy efficiency, motor protection, and integration with plant-wide energy management.
Arc-flash analysis per IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E, equipment labeling, and protective device coordination studies. PPE program support for facility maintenance staff. Lockout-tagout planning and electrical safety program assistance for plant safety teams.
Food & beverage processing (USDA and FDA facilities), automotive (assembly, components, and EV battery production), metals fabrication and primary metals, plastics and polymer processing, advanced manufacturing (semiconductor adjacent, aerospace, and biopharma), and consumer products. Project sizes typically range from $1M tool hookups in existing facilities through $30M+ new-plant electrical scope.
Yes. Our crews follow GMP protocols in production zones, use food-grade installation methods where the application requires it (wash-down rated enclosures, stainless conduit and supports in wet zones), and coordinate with the plant QA team on sanitation requirements. We have worked active production environments without contributing to a regulatory deficiency.
Planned. We work backwards from the shutdown window: pre-stage materials and equipment, prefabricate what can be prefabricated, walk the work with the plant maintenance manager weeks ahead of the window, and identify which tasks require LOTO sign-offs. The goal is for the shutdown to be installation only, not problem-solving.
Yes. NEC Article 500/505/506 hazardous-location electrical is core scope for manufacturing facilities handling solvents, dust, or combustible processes. We follow Class I Div 1 and Div 2 (and Zone 1/2 where applicable), specify intrinsically safe instrumentation where the application requires it, and document compliance for the AHJ.
