Engineering that holds up at inspection
Professional calculations and code-compliant documentation before any wire gets run — the paperwork a permit office, contractor, or inspector actually needs.
Facility Electrical Engineering
Electrical system design and engineering for commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities — including power distribution, one-line diagrams, panel schedules, grounding design, and backup power/generator and UPS sizing.
Substation Engineering
Design and engineering of utility and industrial substations, including protection & control (P&C), switchyard layout, and relay coordination.
Power System Studies
Technical analysis to verify system performance and safety, including load & capacity analysis, short-circuit studies, protective device coordination, arc flash hazard analysis, and grounding studies (soil resistivity, touch/step potential, ground grid analysis).
Power System Planning
Forward-looking engineering to support system growth and reliability — evaluating future load needs, capacity expansion, and long-term electrical infrastructure development.
Equipment & System Specifications
Preparation of technical specifications and design documentation for electrical equipment and systems to support procurement, bidding, and construction.
Utility & Interconnection Engineering
Engineering support for connecting facilities and generation sources to the utility grid, including interconnection studies, agreements, and solar/renewable interconnection design.
Lighting Design & Photometric Analysis
Design of interior and exterior lighting systems, including photometric calculations to meet code, safety, and performance requirements.
Architects, contractors, and property owners
Engineering services are for any project that needs stamped, code-compliant documentation — new construction, additions, renovations, or equipment upgrades that require a permit.
Whether the drawings are for a general contractor to build from, an architect coordinating a larger project, or a property owner navigating permitting on their own, the goal is the same: documentation that's accurate, clear, and holds up at inspection.
A straightforward process
Share the project scope
Plans, site details, or a description of what the project needs to accomplish.
Design & calculations
Load calculations, one-line diagrams, and panel schedules developed for the specific project.
Stamped drawings delivered
Permit-ready documentation, delivered and ready for submission or construction.
Electrical consulting & construction
For projects that need an independent second opinion or hands-on installation, American Voltage also provides consulting and construction services.
