Industrial engineering is defined by scale and durability. For massive warehousing and logistics hubs, we deliver high-voltage distribution and high-bay lighting built for the long haul.
High-bay lighting and high-voltage distribution designed for massive open floor plans.
Power and lighting engineered around intensive material-handling and conveyance systems.
Robust electrical infrastructure to support heavy machinery and continuous operations.
Warehouse electrical design covers the incoming service and main distribution, high-bay lighting layout and photometrics, power distribution to material-handling equipment and dock levellers, receptacle and small-power distribution across large open floor plates, fire alarm and life-safety circuits, and increasingly EV charging and solar-ready provisions. The defining constraint is scale: long conductor runs make voltage drop the governing factor far more often than in a commercial fit-out.
High-bay lighting is designed photometrically to the target illuminance for the task — commonly around 20–30 fc in general storage aisles and higher at pick faces, packing stations and inspection areas. We model the layout in Visual Lighting or DIALux against the actual rack configuration, because racking blocks light distribution and a layout modelled on an empty floor plate will fail once the racks go in. Controls and daylight zoning are designed to the applicable IECC or NCC energy provisions.
Because of distance. A logistics facility can run several hundred feet from the main switchgear to the furthest panel, and conductor sizing driven only by ampacity will often exceed recommended voltage drop over that run. We calculate voltage drop on every feeder and branch circuit and size conductors accordingly — which sometimes means upsizing conductors well beyond what the ampacity table alone would require, or relocating distribution equipment closer to the load.
Yes. Conveyors, sortation systems, automated storage and retrieval, dock equipment and battery-charging rooms for forklifts all get designed to the equipment vendor's nameplate and control requirements. Forklift charging rooms in particular need ventilation coordination and correctly sized charging circuits, and they are a common source of late-stage electrical changes when the fleet specification lands after the design is developed.
Yes. We size EV charger loads to NEC Article 220 and design Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems per NEC 625.42 so multiple chargers share capacity without upsizing the main service — which matters on fleet-charging sites. Rooftop solar PV is designed to NEC Article 690 with interconnection to Article 705, and large warehouse roofs are among the best PV candidates in the built environment.
Yes. We deliver industrial electrical design to NEC and IECC for the United States and Canada, and to AS/NZS 3000 with NCC Section J energy provisions for Australia and New Zealand. The engineering approach is the same; the codes, equipment dimensions and clearance requirements are not, so the design is produced to the standard of the jurisdiction the project is actually in.
