PPE and LOTO
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery systematically and securely.
Permitting and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using a detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You keep as-builts accurate, address red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Transparent Pricing and Direct Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we give you easy-to-understand updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
