    About The Project

    A Puget Sound area refinery was looking for a ready-made solution to reduce install time and labor for power distribution within its plant. With our numerous OEMs and industrial background, Access was able to provide a manufactured building, built to the stringent Washington Gold Standard – while also adhering to a Class 1, Div 2 environment.

    This 60-foot long unit housed (3) switchboards, all fed with busway from outside the building, (6) MCC sections, as well as distribution panels. With this turnkey solution, Access provided the end user with a compact, clean electrical distribution solution that saved them significant field install time.

  • Retro-Fit Panels

    Equipment:

    Panelboards

    About The Project

    A Seattle area hospital with dozens of overdutied panels needed a solution to upgrade their panels with minimum downtime. After a field visit to verify existing conditions, Access partnered up with IEM to provide custom fitted, retro-fit panels.

    These panels used the existing cans to eliminate hours of demolition and the need to pull back conduits and wires. This solution allowed the contractor to mount a brand-new interior with properly rated breakers in a fraction of the time.

    In addition to mitigating arc flash concerns, these panels also provided new dead fronts and doors to give the hospital a fresh look, all while satisfying the end user with a lower-cost total install, with far less downtime for this critical facility.
