P&C Scope That Passes First-Time Acceptance
From a single coordination study to full end-to-end P&C delivery — one team, every vendor platform, scoped to your project.
Proven across 8 manufacturer platforms in mission-critical environments.
Protection Studies
Without verified coordination settings, miscoordination surfaces during commissioning — failed witness tests, rework, and schedule days you can't get back.
Coordination settings that match your design intent — verified before energization, not discovered during commissioning.
Protective device coordination studies, relay settings calculations, and settings files for every protective device in your distribution system. Settings are peer-reviewed, traceable to your coordination study, and ready to load into the field devices.
- Protective device coordination study report
- Selectivity matrices for review with your design team
- Relay settings calculations with design-basis documentation
- Ready-to-load settings files (SEL, Woodward, ABB, multi-vendor)
- Arc-flash incident energy recalculations reflecting final settings
“Coordination philosophy is often overlooked during construction. When the facility goes live, no one realizes the device settings don't match the client's intentions.”
— Hood Patterson & Dewar — Protection coordination white paper
Relay Programming
When multiple vendors mean multiple programming teams, finger-pointing starts at the first failed integration test — and your schedule absorbs the delay.
One team programs every relay platform on your project — consistent logic, tested configurations, no vendor finger-pointing.
Multi-vendor relay and controller programming across SEL, Woodward, CAT, ABB, and automation controllers (RTAC, easYgen, LS-6). Every logic file implements your protection and automation philosophy, configured for IEC 61850 GOOSE peer-to-peer messaging where applicable.
- Protection relay logic files per device (SEL, Woodward, CAT, ABB)
- Automation controller programs (RTAC, easYgen, LS-6, EMCP)
- IEC 61850 GOOSE configuration and SCL/CID files
- Logic validation test results for each device configuration
- Programming submittals formatted for your review workflow
“Programming these relays is not intuitive since they use terminology that is more familiar to utility engineers than plant engineers.”
— Hallam-ICS — Relay programming technical brief
Testing & Commissioning
Commissioning without traceable test procedures means retests, punch-list surprises, and witness testing that doesn't pass on the first attempt.
Commissioning that completes on schedule without major retests — every test procedure traces to a design requirement, every expected result is documented before the test begins.
End-to-end commissioning from factory acceptance through integrated systems testing. The team that designed and programmed the system runs the commissioning — no learning curve during the most schedule-critical phase. Test records trace directly to your design requirements and ITP milestones.
- Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs) aligned to your project milestones
- FAT, Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and IST test procedures — expected results pre-defined, traceable to your ITP requirements
- Methods of Procedure (MOPs) with back-out plans for energization
- Structured test records and punch-list resolution tracking
- Tier certification witness testing support
“Commissioning is always the squeeze point. What started as a two-week schedule gets squeezed to three or four days.”
— Ryan Orr, Senior Consultant, Uptime Institute — Uptime Institute presentation
EPMS/SCADA Integration
Fragmented monitoring across disconnected platforms means your operations team can't correlate events during an incident — root-cause analysis takes days instead of minutes.
A single monitoring and control platform that unifies every IED, meter, and controller — with sequence-of-events resolution your operations team can actually use.
EPMS design and integration: IED connectivity, power metering, historian configuration, and operator dashboards. Protocol bridging across Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, BACnet, and OPC UA connects your power monitoring to BMS and DCIM platforms through defined northbound APIs.
- EPMS architecture design with protocol mapping
- IED and meter integration configurations
- Historian and dashboard configuration with SOE resolution
- DCIM and BMS northbound API integration (REST/SNMP/OPC UA)
- Alarm rationalization and points list documentation
Not Sure Where to Start?
Bounded engagements for primes who need specialized P&C support on a compressed timeline — defined scope, clear deliverables.
Commissioning Readiness Sprint
Your commissioning window is 3–6 months out and P&C milestones are slipping.
Your commissioning date is approaching and P&C milestones are slipping — failed pre-functional tests, untested protection logic, or settings that haven't been validated against acceptance criteria. A time-boxed assessment identifies the gaps, then closes the critical ones — gap analysis, prioritized remediation plan, and executed fixes.

P&C Architecture Review
You're in design phase and want an independent architecture review before you commit.
Your P&C architecture has unresolved questions — single points of failure, untestable protection paths, or coordination gaps that won't survive witness testing. An independent FMEA-based assessment surfaces them before you commit to commissioning.

Rescue Engagement
Your P&C sub fell through — commissioning is weeks away and LDs are on the table.
A P&C scope has gone sideways — the original integrator underperformed, the schedule is blown, and liquidated damages are looming. Current-state assessment, recovery plan, and execution. Fixed-fee where scope is bounded; T&M with caps where discovery is needed.
Start a ConversationWe focus exclusively on specialist protection & controls scope for Tier III/IV data centers. If your project needs general electrical contracting or commodity panel builds, we're happy to refer you to firms that specialize in those areas.

Featured scope
End-to-End P&C Scope
One subcontract covers design through acceptance — no coordination risk between separate design, programming, and commissioning teams.
Full-scope protection and controls delivery from feasibility through commissioning and release to service — single point of accountability across every phase. We carry the P&C risk during cutover and go-live. The team that designed the logic stands beside you during the acceptance test, so issues get resolved on the spot.
- Basis of Design and Functional Design Specifications
- Complete relay and controller programming across all platforms
- Commissioning procedures and execution (FAT through IST)
- As-built documentation package for owner handover
- Submittals and RFI responses aligned to your project workflow
Additional Specialized Services
Open only the services that round out your engagement. These are specialist add-ons and standalone scopes for owners or primes who need a narrower solution than full-scope delivery.
