USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Grounding and protection system design services support industrial, commercial, and power facilities throughout Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and British Columbia. Systems are designed to provide electrical safety, equipment protection, and reliable fault current dissipation.

Our services support new construction, expansions, and system upgrades for manufacturing facilities, power plants, commercial buildings, and data centers. Designs account for soil conditions, fault current levels, and site-specific safety requirements.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We begin with soil resistivity testing, fault current analysis, and protection requirements review. Grounding systems are designed to provide low-impedance fault paths and limit hazardous voltages.

Touch and step potential modeling is performed to verify safe conditions during fault events. Lightning protection and surge mitigation strategies are developed where required. Grounding layouts and installation details are prepared to support efficient field installation.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Grounding and protection designs comply with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1), IEEE grounding standards, and applicable safety requirements. All designs reflect site-specific conditions and local authority requirements throughout British Columbia.
