Services
Electrical Design
Our electrical engineering team delivers medium-to-low voltage power distribution systems for municipal and industrial facilities. We specialize in emergency generation, arc flash analysis, and utility coordination using advanced modeling tools. Our solutions ensure compliance with OSHA and NEC standards while optimizing system reliability.
Mechanical Design
We provide comprehensive mechanical engineering for commercial and industrial facilities, including HVAC systems compliant with NFPA 820 and cross-connection control for water systems. Our expertise extends to steam distribution and Arctic climate-specific piping solutions.
Alternative Energy
Our renewable energy solutions include solar PV installations, wind-diesel hybrid systems, and geothermal heat pump networks. We design systems for both urban and remote Alaskan locations, focusing on energy efficiency and off-grid power reliability.
Snow Melt Systems
We engineer snow melt systems for entryways and freeze protection for water infrastructure. Our designs use circulation systems and glycol tracing to maintain operational safety in subzero conditions while reducing snow removal labor costs.
Facility Commissioning
Our commissioning services ensure facility systems operate as designed through functional testing and start-up procedures. We coordinate with owners, contractors, and integrators to verify all mechanical and electrical systems meet performance specifications.
