We utilize task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout to ensure zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes and National Electrical Code
While each project is different, our work follows the same core principles: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that satisfy the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We confirm 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 follow Article 250 techniques, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to minimize touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, 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 ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate all energy sources, verify no presence 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Building Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You reference 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 detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You ensure as-builts accurate, address red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Transparent Pricing and Direct Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
