Arc Flash, Coordination, & Electrical Safety
Electricity in itself can be hard to conceptualize. It is usually not seen, though is notoriously unforgiving. Selecting the proper PPE around energized equipment can be a challenge, though is a necessity in the name of safety if the equipment cannot be de-energized.
Electrical safety has become a hot topic in the industrial, utility, and commercial sectors. OSHA has implemented steep fines, many times on a per-device basis, if appropriate labeling and electrical safety programs are not in place.
To save time and money on arc flash studies, DES has implemented a training & data gathering system where plant personnel can collect equipment data within your plant and transmit it back to our servers for review. There is zero cost to customers for software packages, & costs for collection services are minimized. We have found this to be the most cost-effective solution for our clients and it also allows for a fluid updating of arc flash models after plant mods.
DES has also partnered with local electricians to provide turnkey electrical safety services when plant electricians are not available. All of our reports and studies are sealed, a requirement for insurance and government submittals.

- Walkdown of Facilities
