Electrical Engineering
Power, control and infrastructure for real-world operations
BTI’s Electrical Solutions team delivers engineered, construction‑ready designs that connect power systems, control systems, and facility infrastructure into a unified whole. Our work emphasizes clarity, safety, and long‑term maintainability, ensuring your facility operates reliably today and remains adaptable for tomorrow. Whether supporting a new build, upgrading an aging plant, or integrating vendor‑supplied equipment, we design electrical systems that align with your standards and fit the way your operations run.
Control systems & panel infrastructure
The electrical foundation for modern automation
Modern automation depends on a strong electrical foundation, and BTI provides the panel and power infrastructure that makes control systems work. We design controller panels, marshalling panels, and network cabinets, along with the power distribution required to support them. Our team develops panel layouts, grounding strategies, cable routing, and installation details that integrate seamlessly with building systems such as HVAC, security, and automation. Every design is practical, maintainable, and tailored to your facility’s preferred materials and methods.
Industrial network infrastructure
Physical infrastructure that brings your IT/OT network to life
BTI’s dedicated IT/OT Network group leads the architecture and configuration of industrial networks, while the Electrical Solutions team provides the physical infrastructure that brings those designs to life. We engineer the routing of fiber and copper cabling, the installation requirements for network cabinets, and the connectivity needed for field devices and control systems. This collaboration ensures that network designs are not only technically sound but also buildable, reliable, and aligned with your facility’s environmental and operational constraints.
Power system design & analysis
Safe, reliable power from utility connection to point of use
Reliable industrial operations begin with a safe and well‑engineered power system. BTI designs power distribution systems that span from utility connection to point of use, including MCCs, switchgear, and distribution equipment. Using ETAP®, SKM, and EasyPower, we model electrical systems to support load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and protection coordination studies. These analyses guide equipment selection, improve operational safety, and provide the documentation your facility needs for compliance and long‑term planning.
Facility electrical infrastructure
Complete electrical design packages for industrial facilities
BTI provides complete electrical design packages that integrate every component of a facility’s electrical infrastructure. Our work includes cable schedules, routing strategies, junction box design, field wiring, lighting, grounding, and building services. We also design the electrical backbone for fire and gas detection systems, instrumentation, and building automation. Each package is developed with construction in mind, giving contractors clear, buildable information and giving owners confidence that the design reflects their standards and operational realities.
Third‑party skid & package integration
Making vendor packages work inside your facility
Vendor‑supplied skids and packaged equipment often arrive without the electrical, control, or safety systems required for seamless integration into a facility. BTI bridges this gap by reviewing vendor documentation, designing the necessary interfaces, and ensuring that materials and installation methods match your plant’s standards. This approach reduces commissioning risk, simplifies maintenance, and ensures that new equipment fits naturally into your existing control and safety systems.
Hazardous area classification & safety engineering
Safe installation starts with correct classification
Safe installation begins with a correct understanding of hazardous environments. BTI performs hazardous area classification studies that define boundaries, evaluate gas groups and auto‑ignition temperatures, and guide proper equipment selection. We also assess ventilation and detection requirements and consider fugitive emissions to help reduce classification where possible. Our documentation supports regulatory compliance and provides a clear foundation for safe electrical installation.
Modernization & upgrade services
Extending the life of your facility
Many facilities require targeted upgrades rather than full replacements. BTI supports modernization efforts by designing MCC and switchgear replacements, panel upgrades, network and cable modernization, and rerouting strategies for congested or aging infrastructure. We also reassess hazardous areas as part of upgrade work, ensuring that older installations meet current safety expectations. Our designs minimize downtime and integrate smoothly with existing systems.
Construction support & field services
Support that continues beyond the drawings
Our involvement continues beyond the design phase. BTI provides construction support through timely responses to RFIs, design clarifications, and updates to redlines and as‑built drawings. We assist with panel and network infrastructure checkout and coordinate with contractors and vendors to ensure the design is implemented correctly. Our goal is to support a smooth construction process and deliver a system that performs exactly as intended.
