The disciplines we specialize in - and the ones that show up on most projects.
Electrical engineering is broad. These are the areas where we have the deepest bench and deliver the most consistent results for our clients.
Power Distribution
Service entrance, switchgear, MCCs, distribution design for industrial and commercial loads.
Power Factor Correction
Analysis and correction strategies to recover capacity and reduce utility demand charges.
Grounding
Code-compliant grounding systems that protect people, equipment, and sensitive electronics.
Lightning Protection
Strike-termination, bonding, and surge protection designed per CSA / NFPA standards.
Heat Trace
Freeze protection and process temperature maintenance for piping and vessels.
Coordination Studies
Short-circuit, protection coordination, and arc-flash studies for safe, selective systems.
Lighting Design
Interior and exterior lighting design informed by simulation and real-world operations.
Lighting Controls
Occupancy, daylight harvesting, scheduling, and code-driven controls strategies.
Exit & Emergency Lighting
Egress lighting design and documentation to meet NBC / provincial requirements.
Controls & Automation
PLC / DCS, instrumentation, motor controls, and HMI design for process environments.
Communications
Structured cabling, network architecture, and IT room coordination for facilities.
Physical Security
Access control, CCTV, and intrusion detection integrated with building electrical.
Fire Alarm
Addressable fire-alarm design, verification support, and interconnection to HVAC and security.
Public Address
Mass-notification and PA systems for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
Marine Electrical
Shore-power, onboard systems, and cold-climate marine applications.
Load Analysis
Demand studies, generator sizing, UPS sizing, and capacity planning.
Nurse Call Systems
Nurse call and code-blue system design for hospitals, clinics, and long-term care - integrated with communications and life-safety.
Solar
Solar PV system design, utility interconnection, and net-metering support for commercial and industrial facilities.

A coordination study analyzes how protective devices (breakers, fuses, relays) interact during a fault, so the device closest to the problem trips first. Facilities with aging infrastructure, recent expansions, or nuisance tripping benefit most - and many insurers and AHJs now require current studies.
Yes. We design fire alarm, public address, and exit and emergency lighting systems to NFPA and NBC life-safety requirements, including verification support at commissioning.
Yes - instrumentation, PLC and DCS integration, motor control centers, and automation architecture for industrial plants, including legacy control system modernization without disrupting production.
Poor power factor increases utility demand charges and loads your distribution equipment with reactive current. Correction typically pays for itself through lower bills, freed-up system capacity, and reduced losses.
Yes. We perform load studies for new services, expansions, and backup power - sizing generators, transformers, and feeders so systems have the capacity they need without over-building.
