Heavy industrial facilities, infrastructure, and utility-adjacent work across Texas. Substation interconnects, medium-voltage distribution, and resilient power for demanding loads.
Industrial work sits at the harder end of the commercial electrical market. Loads are heavier, environments are more demanding, and downtime tolerance is measured against production economics that punish lost hours. The work crosses code boundaries that commercial contractors rarely touch — medium-voltage distribution as a routine matter, NEC Article 480 stationary batteries, NEC Article 670 industrial machinery, and the IEEE family of standards that govern utility-grade installations.
We deliver electrical scope for heavy industrial sites, infrastructure projects, and facilities that operate at the boundary between owner-side distribution and utility-side transmission. Our work supports primary metals, water and wastewater treatment, mining and aggregate operations, terminals and intermodal, and grid-adjacent infrastructure like substation interconnects.
Customer substation installations from 25kV through 69kV class primary. Outdoor substation construction including foundation, structural steel, MV switchgear, power transformers (15–50MVA class), and substation control buildings. Coordination with utility transmission planning and protection engineering.
Medium-voltage distribution loops across industrial sites. Pad-mount and indoor switchgear, MV cable in conduit and direct-bury, MV motor starters for compressors and pumps above 600HP, and protective relay coordination across multiple distribution points.
MV and LV motor installations from 200HP through 5,000HP+. Reduced-voltage starting (autotransformer, soft-start, VFD) sized for utility starting current limits. Motor protection per IEEE 242 (Buff Book), differential protection on large machines, and bearing temperature monitoring.
Stationary battery banks per NEC Article 480 for substation control, SCADA continuity, and process critical systems. Lead-acid (VRLA, flooded) and lithium-ion installations with appropriate ventilation, spill containment, and thermal management.
Substation ground grids designed to IEEE 80 (Green Book) with measured soil resistivity inputs. Plant ground rings, equipment grounding to IEEE 142, and isolated grounding for sensitive instrumentation. Ground resistance testing and documentation.
Standby generator installations for industrial site resilience. Generator paralleling for facilities requiring N+1 redundancy on critical processes. Co-generation interconnects where the industrial site produces its own power.
Primary metals (steel, aluminum, copper processing), water and wastewater treatment plants, mining and aggregate operations, terminals and intermodal logistics, paper and pulp, glass and ceramics, and grid-adjacent infrastructure (substation interconnects, behind-the-meter generation, large customer transmission service). Project sizes typically range from $2M plant retrofits through $25M+ ground-up industrial buildouts.
Yes. Customer-owned substations are within our scope for industrial sites taking primary service at 25kV through 69kV class. We coordinate with the utility on protection settings, metering, and interconnect requirements, and we build to IEEE 80 grounding and ANSI substation standards.
Yes. Starting large motors on services with limited fault duty requires reduced-voltage starting and utility coordination on permissible voltage dip. We size autotransformer or solid-state soft-start equipment to meet the utility starting current limit and verify the design with the utility transmission planning group before energization.
Yes. Water and wastewater electrical scope spans MV service entrance, pump motor controls, SCADA integration, instrumentation, and Class I Div 2 hazardous-location wiring around digester gas systems. We follow TCEQ requirements for documentation and inspection.
Behind-the-meter generation (BTM) is a growing scope, especially for industrial sites adding co-gen, solar, or battery storage. We handle the interconnection point design, anti-islanding protection per IEEE 1547, and utility coordination on parallel operation agreements.
