Engineering design & drafting
The engineering desing & drafting service encompasses the design, modification, layout, and documentation of electrical systems and equipment within facilities being served, adhering to industry standards, best practices, and regulatory requirements, by properly licensed engineers and qualified CAD designers. In some instances, it could require site surveys. On a case-by-case basis and depending on the size of the project, procurement engineering and support, as well as construction management, could be provided to deliver full turn-key solutions as needed.
WHY ARE THEY NEEDED?
New Construction, Upgrades, Expansion, and Retrofitting
When constructing new facilities or modifying existing ones for upgrades, retrofits, or expansion; accurate engineering design and drafting ensure the efficient placement and integration of electrical systems. This includes engineering and drafting electrical generation and distribution networks, motor control centers, energy storage systems, uninterruptible power supplies, switchgears, lighting systems, instrumentation, control, cable routing, grounding systems, and more. In the case of modifications, appropriate engineering and drafting ensures compatibility and minimizes potential conflicts or disruptions.
As Built Updates
It is common that facilities undergo changes over their service life, and it is also common that such changes are not recorded in engineering documents and drawings as they happen. Regular as built updates help reconciling the changes facilities have gone through with corresponding engineering documentation.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Detailed documentation, including electrical drawings, schematics, and wiring diagrams, are paramount for maintenance teams to efficiently repair and troubleshoot electrical systems. It provides a clear representation of the system and enables accurate identification of components, connections, and potential points of failure. Predictive and preventive maintenance also benefits from up-to-date engineering documentation.
Compliance and Safety
Industrial and commercial facilities operate under stringent regulations, codes and standards, which mostly respond to safety and environmental considerations, but also to efficiency and power quality expectations. Precise and up-to-date engineering design and drafting help ensure compliance with such regulations, codes and standards related to electrical installations, for either new or existing facilities.
