Integrated Electrical Design for Remediation Equipment

Environmental remediation systems operate in demanding conditions: outdoor installations, hazardous classified areas, remote locations with limited utility infrastructure, and continuous duty cycles spanning months or years. Proper electrical engineering is critical to system reliability, personnel safety, and regulatory compliance.

Fliteway's electrical engineering team designs every aspect of the power and control systems for our remediation equipment. We produce complete electrical construction document packages including single-line diagrams, panel schedules, conduit and cable routing plans, motor control schematics, and wiring diagrams. Our designs are developed in coordination with our mechanical engineers and PLC programmers to deliver a fully integrated system.

All electrical designs comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70), NFPA 70E for electrical safety, UL 508A for industrial control panels, and applicable state and local electrical codes. For installations in hazardous (classified) locations, we design per NEC Articles 500-506 with appropriate Division/Zone classifications and proper equipment ratings.

Our Electrical Design Process

  • 1

    Load Analysis & Site Assessment

    We evaluate the connected equipment loads, available utility power, site environmental conditions, and any hazardous area classification requirements to establish the design basis for the electrical system.

  • 2

    Schematic Design

    Single-line diagrams, motor control schematics, and preliminary panel layouts are developed and reviewed with the project team. Equipment selections are finalized and approved before detailed design.

  • 3

    Detailed Design & Documentation

    Complete construction document packages including wiring diagrams, cable schedules, conduit routing, panel fabrication drawings, and a comprehensive Bill of Materials.

  • 4

    Fabrication & Testing

    Control panels and MCCs are fabricated in our Cudahy, Wisconsin facility, point-to-point tested, and functionally tested with PLC programming before shipment to the project site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical engineering services does Fliteway provide for remediation systems?
Fliteway provides full electrical engineering design for environmental remediation equipment. This includes power distribution design, single-line diagrams, panel and MCC layouts, conduit and cable routing, load calculations, short-circuit and arc-flash analysis, motor control schematics, VFD programming, and control system wiring diagrams. All designs comply with NEC, NFPA 70E, and applicable state and local electrical codes. Our electrical engineers work alongside our mechanical and controls teams to deliver fully integrated system designs.
Does Fliteway design UL 508A listed control panels?
Yes. Fliteway designs and fabricates UL 508A listed industrial control panels for environmental remediation systems. Our panel designs include full component layouts, wiring diagrams, Bill of Materials, short-circuit current ratings (SCCR), and proper thermal management. Panels are fabricated in our Cudahy, Wisconsin facility and tested before shipment. We work with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and other major component manufacturers.
What power requirements are typical for environmental remediation systems?
Power requirements vary widely depending on system size and type. Small SVE blower systems may require only 5-10 HP single-phase or three-phase power (208/230V). Large groundwater treatment systems and multi-phase extraction systems can require 200+ HP of connected load on 480V three-phase power with step-down transformers for controls. Fliteway performs complete load analysis to determine service entrance requirements, conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and transformer specifications for each project.
Can Fliteway integrate variable frequency drives into remediation equipment?
VFD integration is one of our core electrical engineering capabilities. We specify, size, and program variable frequency drives for blowers, pumps, mixers, and other rotating equipment in remediation systems. VFDs provide energy savings, soft-start capability, and precise flow/pressure control. Our designs include proper input and output filtering, cable length considerations, and PLC communication integration for automated process control.
