Core Power Distribution Services
Service Entrance & Utility Coordination
We handle the complete design of service entrance equipment, coordination with local distribution utilities (LDCs), transformer pad layouts, incoming feeder sizing, and metering arrangements for seamless grid interconnection.
Single-Line Diagrams (SLD) & System Architecture
Development of detailed, stamp-approved Single-Line Diagrams (SLDs) outlining your complete power distribution topology—from utility tie-in points to individual panelboards.
Switchgear, Switchboard & Substation Design
Engineering low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear installations, distribution switchboards, unit substations, and dry-type/oil-filled transformer specifications suited to your operational demand.
Load Calculations & Panel Schedule Design
Accurate electrical load calculations (demand, connected, and continuous loads) and detailed panel schedule designs to balance phase loads, optimize circuit layouts, and prevent system overloads.
Motor Control Centers (MCC) & Industrial Distribution
Design of dedicated Motor Control Centers (MCCs), variable frequency drive (VFD) integration, starter panels, and heavy-duty feeder distribution for industrial plants, commercial pumps, and HVAC systems.
Grounding, Bonding & Surge Protection
Engineering robust grounding grid layouts, neutral grounding systems, and Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS/SPD) to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment and personnel.

Our Engineering Process
Initial Assessment & Load Analysis
We gather site requirements, review utility availability, compute connected/demand loads, and define system voltage levels.
Detailed Design & SLD Drafting
Our team drafts comprehensive Single-Line Diagrams, layout plans, panel schedules, cable tray routings, and equipment specifications.
Utility & ESA Plan Review Submission
We submit drawings to local utilities and the ESA for plan review approvals prior to construction.
Tender & Contractor Support
We assist in preparing technical tender documents, answering contractor Requests for Information (RFIs), and reviewing shop drawings.
On-Site Construction Review & Sign-Off
Our field engineers inspect site installations, confirm compliance with approved drawings, and issue GRL sign-offs for final energization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is required to start a power distribution design?
We typically require your building architectural layouts, mechanical equipment schedules (HVAC, pumps, elevators), utility site plan details, and estimated operational power demand.
Do you handle ESA Plan Review submissions?
Yes. We prepare and submit all required electrical drawings, Single-Line Diagrams, and load calculations directly to the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) for required plan reviews.
What is the difference between primary and secondary power distribution?
Primary distribution involves higher voltages (typically above 750V, such as 4.16kV or 13.8kV) received from utility distribution lines, whereas secondary distribution operates at utilization voltages (e.g., 600V, 480V, 208V, or 120/240V) used directly by building equipment and lighting.
Can you upgrade our existing electrical service for expanded operations or EV chargers?
Yes. We perform capacity audits on existing switchboards and transformers, calculate spare capacity, design necessary service upgrades, and coordinate with the local utility for transformer upgrades.
