Project overview

Two pieces of work for the City of Monroe’s electric utility: a relay panel upgrade at an older substation, replacing electromechanical relays with SEL standard panels, and a protective relay testing program across all of Monroe’s substations.

We handle the full range — engineering and integration design, physical installation, commissioning, and checkout — so the design intent carries straight through to the finished panel.

Highlights

  • Modern protection retrofitted into an older station without a rebuild
  • The same team from design through installation
  • Deep familiarity with legacy electromechanical schemes
  • Trusted with both capital upgrades and ongoing relay maintenance

Working on something similar?

We’re glad to talk through a project at any stage — including the ones that are still just a one-line on a whiteboard.
