Why the Work Mattered

Purpose and Operating Need

Manufacturing expansion required more than a new service. It needed utility coordination, transformer strategy, feeder routing, dedicated circuits, monitoring, corrective actions, and load-balancing governance.

Engineering Approach

Engineering Approach

Designed and supported 2,000A, 480V electrical service from utility pole and transformer through switchgear, feeders, conduit, panelboards, and dedicated equipment circuits; deployed power-quality monitoring; used data-driven analysis to diagnose load imbalances and brownouts; partnered with local utility power-quality division to implement corrective actions at the substation and primary feeder poles; built five-year facility load-balancing plan; developed distributed HMI and data acquisition systems using industrial control hardware and software.

Outcome & Engineering Context

Outcome and Context

Improved power reliability and manufacturing expansion readiness.

Workstream Results & Impact

Workstream Portfolio Rollup

15,255,000 USD

Electrical Infrastructure Modernization

Portfolio value: 5,555,000 USD existing workstream scope plus 9,700,000 USD for the electrical service and power-quality project, counted once. Actual cost and estimate at completion are separate project measures.

Measures & Operating Detail

Engineering scope and design basis

Improved facility power reliability, manufacturing expansion readiness, brownout diagnosis, and operations visibility through electrical and controls coordination.

Improved power reliability and expansion readiness, measured by a 2,000A 480V service, utility-corrective-action coordination, and a five-year load-balancing plan, by combining service design, monitoring, diagnostics, utility coordination, and HMI/data acquisition.

2,000A, 480V service; five-year load-balancing plan; power-quality monitoring; substation and primary-feeder corrective actions.

Additional Technical Detail

Roles & contributions

  • Project Ownership

    Full lifecycle project ownership

    Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.

  • Utility Power-Quality Division

    Supplier Participation

    Vendor Contribution

    The local utility power-quality division implemented coordinated primary-feeder/substation corrective actions; utility work is separate from The diagnostics and project leadership.
