Standards-based analysis, rigorous QA, comprehensive documentation
A disciplined engineering process that makes every AES deliverable defensible, constructable, and maintainable — from kickoff to closeout.
The principles we engineer by
Three non-negotiable values that shape every study, drawing, and recommendation we issue.
Defensible Engineering
Every calculation, assumption, and recommendation is traceable to a code, standard, or published methodology — and documented so it holds up under audit.
Risk & Responsibility
We accept stewardship of the electrical decisions we seal. That means owning the coordination, the conservatism, and the conversation with the AHJ.
Lifecycle Thinking
Designs and studies are built for the facility's operating lifetime — not just the ribbon-cutting. Future-loads, spares, maintainability, and NFPA 70B factor in from day one.
Grounded in the codes that matter
Every engagement is tested against the applicable codes, AHJ expectations, and facility-specific standards.
- NFPA 70 (NEC)
- NFPA 70B (2023)
- NFPA 70E
- IEEE 1584
- IEEE 242
- ANSI/IEEE C37 Series
- AHJ Coordination
- Utility Interconnection
- State / Municipal Amendments
- Facility-Specific Standards
Our 3-step QA process
Independent review and constructability vetting before any deliverable leaves the office.
Independent Technical Review
A second licensed PE reviews the model, assumptions, and deliverables before issue.
Standards Compliance Check
Cross-reference against NEC, NFPA 70B/70E, IEEE 1584/242, and owner-specific standards.
Constructability Assessment
Field-calibrated review of feasibility, coordination with other trades, and maintainability.
Documentation that lasts
AES deliverables are written for owners, operators, and regulators — clear, traceable, and ready to live in the facility binder.
- Study Reports (PE-sealed)
- Single-Line & System Diagrams
- Equipment Specifications
- Compliance & Label Documentation
A 6-week rhythm for study-scale engagements
Actual durations vary with scope and facility access — but this is the operating cadence our owners know us by.
- 1
Project Initiation
Day 1-3Scope confirmation, kickoff call, and data-request package issued.
- 2
Information Gathering
Week 1-2Equipment data, one-line drawings, utility data, and site walkdowns.
- 3
Analysis & Engineering
Week 2-4Model build in ETAP/SKM, internal QA/QC review, and findings drafted.
- 4
Deliverable Preparation
Week 4-5Report writing, PE seal, label packages, and owner-ready documentation.
- 5
Client Review & Finalization
Week 5-6Review workshop, owner comments incorporated, and final sealed issue.
