Industrial & Manufacturing

Yes. We size to real connected loads with applied process demand factors rather than nameplate or generic assumptions, then carry documented headroom for phased expansion. That means the service, switchgear, and mains reflect actual throughput today plus the growth you're already planning, so adding a line or a building pad later is a connection exercise rather than a service upgrade. We document the basis of design so the licensed engineer of record on your project can review the load assumptions quickly.

Yes — short-circuit, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash studies per IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E are built into the construction documents, not handled as a separate after-award deliverable. We produce the equipment labeling and incident-energy results for the field, and coordinate breaker and fuse selection so the system is both selective and safe to maintain. These ride behind your seal as part of the electrical set.

Ceiling space is the hardest constraint in a high-bay building, so we resolve it in BIM before it becomes an RFI. We route ducts, piping, busway, and lighting against the ESFR or in-rack sprinkler layout per NFPA 13 and the applicable FM Global data sheets, and hold clearance to the commodity classification and high-piled-storage requirements in the IFC. The fire protection engineer's scheme drives the geometry, and we coordinate the balance of MEP around it.

Yes. We coordinate our MEP to the ammonia (IIAR-2) or packaged refrigeration system supplied by the process vendor and design the supporting systems around it — machinery-room ventilation and detection, under-slab heating, dock-door freeze protection carried into the heating loads, and condensate and defrost drainage that won't ice up. We carry the standby power and controls provisions the refrigeration plant depends on, all behind the seal of the licensed engineer of record on your project.

We design make-up air and process, welding, and battery-charging exhaust to the area classification and occupancy established by the architect of record and the authority having jurisdiction, so the ventilation matches the hazardous-area basis on the first submission. The classification itself and any OSHA process-safety scope are set by the AOR, the fire code official, and the owner's process team — not by us. We engineer the conventional MEP to satisfy that basis and document it clearly for review.
