Electrical Engineering
Powering Your Industrial Facility

From office spaces to the factory floor, our electrical engineers provide seamless, safe, and efficient energy flow throughout your facility. By working closely with our design and construction teams, we design lighting systems that take energy efficiency requirements, lighting regulations, and industry standards into consideration. Our engineers can also integrate the required electrical infrastructure for auxiliary systems such as emergency power, communications, and fire protection systems.

Additionally, workplace safety is paramount in all our electrical designs. Since we are uniquely qualified to perform sophisticated Neher-McGrath calculations and Arc Fault analysis in-house, we can take the necessary precautions to safeguard equipment and personnel from potential electrical hazards. 

Gray AES provides an array of electrical engineering services:

Power Distribution

• Coordinate with key stakeholders and utility companies to establish a facility’s main power infrastructure
• Integrate emergency power systems to provide backup energy for critical systems
• Optimize panel design and control for efficient, safe, and easy-to-maintain power throughout a facility 

Lighting Design

• Analyze and measuring light distribution to meet requirements for visibility, safety, and operational efficiency
• Develop lighting controls to manage and automate lighting and optimize energy efficiency
• Customize lighting solutions for unique environments such as cleanrooms and hazardous areas

Auxiliary System Design

• Design the infrastructure necessary for network communication and reliable data transmission throughout a facility 
• Integrate electrical systems for monitoring and securing various areas of a facility
• Develop building automation systems that enables centralized monitoring and control and improves system efficiency

Short-Circuit and Breaker Coordination

• Reduce the risk of electrical faults by evaluating electrical systems and ensuring compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace guidelines

• Ensure breakers in a facility are properly coordinated to function in a sequence that isolates electrical faults, minimizing downtime and avoiding cascading outages

Arc Flash Analysis

• Establish proper protective boundaries and PPE for workers by determining the potential energy release during the event of an arc flash incident

Neher-McGrath Calculations

Calculate the current-carrying capacity and proper sizing of electrical cables by accounting for factors such as ambient temperature, thermal resistance of surrounding materials, and cable insulation type
