Critical Power Solutions… Ready, Set, LFG!

At Power Design, we don't just face challenges; we conquer them.

 

When supply chain setbacks and tight schedules threatened our progress, we took decisive action and turned potential setbacks into successes by expanding our Specialty Manufacturing Division - introducing Power Design's own switchboard and critical power components.

 

Recognizing the demand vastly outpaced supply across the critical power chain for major facilities, we took the development of switchboards and critical power equipment into our own hands and are now producing these complex products in-house; ensuring on-budget and on-time delivery for our partners, no matter the obstacles.

 

We have harnessed our design and build capabilities and teamed up with leading industry vendors to become the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for panelboards, bus troughs, switchboards, and grounding bars—all built to UL Product Certification standards, the gold standard of electrical safety. This cohesive approach streamlines the quality, testing, and safety processes for everything we produce. Our Specialty Manufacturing team has also forged exclusive procurement partnerships, keeping our inventory stocked with transformers, meter mains, load centers, VFDs, bus ducts, and other equipment.

 

“We understand the importance of these components and the impact they make on the project lifecycle, which is why we needed an innovative solution for our clients,” Chief Operating Officer Joe Micallef said. "When we face a challenge, we act quickly to remove the barrier and not just meet our clients’ needs but exceed them. Our new critical power chain initiative will help us tackle some of the most pressing issues our customers are facing and will continue to face. Through this investment, we are taking control and ensuring the delivery of top performance, quality, and value on our job sites."

 

Beyond timeliness, this service brings the perks of cost reductions, reliable schedules, and more adaptable designs for projects of any size. Our UL-certified products and staff ensure we meet the highest industry standards and gives our Engineering Division the edge to tailor products to our partners' specific needs.

The critical power chain of a building spans the vertical distribution of power from the lowest level to the top floor. Without these essential components, building projects can't progress through the electrical phase and are at the mercy of the products availability.

By streamlining manufacturing and maintaining a robust inventory, we help keep project timelines on track by drastically reducing lead times on critical power components, preventing delays and ensuring seamless progress from start to finish. Even with the rapid turnarounds, we continue to exceed industry standard testing to ensure unmatched quality and reliability.

At Power Design, we don't just meet challenges—we redefine them.
