Power System Studies, Troubleshooting & Electrical Safety Training

KRC’s engineers analyze existing electrical systems to find hazards, solve power problems and protect the people who work on them. Studies include arc-flash labels and written reports for your facility records.

  • Electrical troubleshooting and accident investigation reports

  • Short-circuit analysis

  • Protective device coordination studies

  • Arc-flash analysis, including arc-flash labels

  • Load-flow studies

  • Harmonic studies

  • Motor starting studies

Electrical Safety Training: KRC teaches electrical safety classes on NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, and OSHA electrical safety requirements.

Life-Safety and Power Systems Designed Together

Fire alarm, sprinkler, egress and electrical systems all depend on each other. KRC's licensed Professional Engineers and Fire Protection Engineer design them as one coordinated package, working directly with architects, mechanical engineers and the local fire marshal.

Our team has designed fire and electrical systems for schools, hospitals, high-rise buildings, industrial plants, data centers, telecommunications sites and military installations.

Fire Protection Engineering

KRC’s licensed Fire Protection Engineer designs fire alarm, sprinkler and life-safety systems for schools, hospitals, high-rise buildings and industrial facilities. We coordinate with the architect, the HVAC designer and the fire marshal so detection, alarm, sprinklers and egress meet NFPA code and work as one system.

  • Fire alarm design (NFPA 72): control and annunciator panels, pull stations, smoke and heat detectors, horns and synchronized strobes

  • Sprinkler design (NFPA 13): wet, dry and deluge systems, with pressure maintained at the furthest head

  • Egress and life safety (NFPA 101 and NFPA 1): egress lighting and paths, muster areas, and Knox box locations set with the fire marshal

  • Building interfaces: door unlocking, magnetic door closures, elevator landing on fire or power loss, and HVAC dampers

  • Fire radio (DAS) antenna locations and firefighter rapid shutdown for buildings with solar panels

  • Explosion-proof devices for Class I, Division 1 locations (NFPA 70, Article 500) and dry powder systems for kitchens

Electrical Engineering

KRC’s licensed Professional Engineers design electrical power systems for commercial, industrial, healthcare, data center, telecommunications and military facilities. We handle new design and upgrades to existing systems, from field investigation through construction documents and commissioning.

  • Power distribution at 600V and below, and campus distribution up to 15 kV

  • Emergency power, generators and UPS system

  • Lighting and lighting controls

  • Solar PV, microgrids and distributed energy resources

  • FAA-compliant airport lighting, navigational aids and airfield electrical vaults

  • Commissioning, site investigations and energy audits

  • Troubleshooting, forensic analysis and retrofit design for existing electrical systems

Fire Protection & Electrical Engineering for Commercial, Industrial and Federal Facilities

KRC designs fire protection and electrical systems for buildings where safety and uptime matter most. Our engineers have delivered projects under both Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build, from early design through construction and commissioning.

We support schools, hospitals, high-rise buildings, industrial plants, ports, data centers, telecommunications sites, water and wastewater facilities, and military installations. On federal projects, our engineers design to DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), and KRC is 8(a) and HUBZone certified.

Fire Protection & Electrical Engineering FAQs

  • KRC designs fire alarm systems to NFPA 72, wet, dry and deluge sprinkler systems to NFPA 13, egress and life-safety systems to NFPA 101 and NFPA 1, health care facilities to NFPA99, and lightning protection to NFPA 780.

    We also locate fire radio (DAS) antennas and firefighter rapid shutdown switches for buildings with solar panels.

  • KRC designs power distribution at 600V and below and campus distribution up to 15 kV, emergency power, generators and UPS systems, lighting, solar PV, microgrids, and mission-critical electrical infrastructure for data centers. Our experience includes data center power distribution, backup power redundancy, resiliency planning, and high-availability electrical systems. We also perform arc-flash, short-circuit, load-flow and coordination studies, and commission electrical equipment.

  • Yes. Our licensed Professional Engineers and Fire Protection Engineer design both, so door unlocking, magnetic door closures, elevator landing on fire or power loss, and HVAC dampers are coordinated in one design.

  • Our team has designed with Siemens (Silent Knight), Honeywell (Notifier) and Edwards fire alarm systems.

  • Schools, hospitals, high-rise buildings, industrial plants, data centers, telecommunications sites, water and wastewater facilities, and military installations.

  • Yes. Our engineers design to DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and have supported US Navy facility projects from design through construction. KRC is 8(a) and HUBZone certified.
