We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify lack of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment appropriate for 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device 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 acquire the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing a precise inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You maintain as-builts up-to-date, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Rates and Straightforward Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
