We utilize task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
National Electrical Code and Seattle Codes
Even though every project is unique, our work maintains the same core principles: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document specifications for inspection.
You will encounter compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We employ Article 250 procedures, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where necessary, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify absence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using a thorough inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification. You maintain as-builts accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Clear Fees and Direct Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements.
