They rewired our entire south building in eleven days. We lost zero production hours.

Can you work around a running
production line?
Yes — and it's the only way we work. Every Conduit crew arrives with a pre-engineered isolation plan reviewed against your P&ID drawings. We identify every upstream feed, document every lockout point, and schedule hot-work windows during your planned micro-stops, shift changes, or maintenance windows.
On a 2023 retrofit at a Toledo stamping plant, we replaced fourteen aging 480V motor control centers across three production zones — all while the press lines ran at 87% capacity. The facility manager never filed a variance.
"We don't ask plants to shut down so we can work. We build the plan around your schedule, not ours."

Willful or repeated · 2025 schedule
Our dispatch line runs 24 hours, 365 days. When a transformer fails at 2 AM or an arc event trips your main breaker before first shift, you reach a licensed journeyman — not a voicemail box. We carry stock on common distribution components: breakers, bus bars, fused disconnects, and control transformers up to 75 kVA.
OSHA Lockout/Tagout citations rose 29% in 2023
2,532 LOTO citations issued in FY2023, tied to $20.7M in penalties. Electrical system design violations (29 CFR 1910.303) generated an additional $757,568 in penalties that year alone. A fast, compliant response isn't optional — it's the difference between a citation and a shutdown.
"Every hour of downtime in a stamping facility runs $80,000 to $200,000 in lost throughput. Our job is to make sure that clock stops as fast as possible."
— Ray Eckert, Operations Manager · Conduit
Are your guys
NFPA 70E certified?
OSHA issued new arc flash PPE guidance in November 2024
Covering 750,000+ industrial electrical workers still without adequate arc flash protection. The Flash Protection Boundary for 600V equipment is 48 inches — inside that boundary, FR clothing, insulated tools, and face shields are not optional.
NFPA 70E — Electrical Safety in the Workplace
CurrentEvery journeyman on our crews holds current NFPA 70E training. We conduct arc flash hazard analysis on every job site before energized work begins, and we follow the 48-inch Flash Protection Boundary for 600V equipment without exception.
OSHA 10 & OSHA 30 — Construction Safety
All CrewsAll field supervisors carry OSHA 30-hour cards. Journeymen and apprentices hold OSHA 10. We document every safety briefing and maintain job hazard analyses on file for the life of the project.
NECA / IBEW Journeyman Certification
IBEWOur workforce is drawn from IBEW locals with verified journeyman credentials. No helpers running conduit unsupervised. No apprentices on energized work without a licensed journeyman present.
NEC 2023 — National Electrical Code
Code CompliantWe pull permits, schedule inspections, and close them. Every installation is designed to current NEC standards and documented for your facility records — critical for insurance underwriting and future capital planning.
"A 29% rise in LOTO citations last year isn't a coincidence — facilities are being scrutinized harder than ever. Every Conduit crew arrives with documentation your safety officer can hand directly to an OSHA inspector."

What does a panel retrofit
actually involve?
Site Walk & Load Study
2–4 hrsWe walk your facility with a licensed PE or senior journeyman. We review single-line drawings, measure existing loads, document panel schedules, and identify code deficiencies before we quote a dollar.
Scope of Work & Isolation Plan
1–3 daysWe produce a written scope with itemized materials, crew sizing, and a phased isolation plan tied to your production calendar. No surprises on-site.
Permit Pull & Inspection Schedule
Before mobilizationWe pull every permit required by the AHJ. We schedule rough-in and final inspections and coordinate with your facility maintenance team so inspectors don't interrupt production.
Phased Installation
Per agreed scheduleWe work in zones, completing one section before energizing the next. Every circuit is labeled, torqued to spec, and documented in an as-built package delivered at close-out.
Arc Flash Hazard Analysis & Label Update
IncludedOn every panel retrofit, we update arc flash labels per NFPA 70E. Incident energy calculations are included in your close-out package — required documentation for OSHA compliance and insurance carriers.
Close-Out & As-Built Drawings
Full documentationWe deliver updated single-line drawings, panel schedules, inspection sign-offs, and warranty documentation. Your maintenance team gets a clean handoff — not a box of unlabeled breakers.

"The as-built package they delivered was cleaner than the original contractor's drawings from 1987. Our maintenance guys actually use it."
