Ambitech Provides Arc Flash Hazard Solution Expertise

As clients respond to new Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and guidelines for arc flash hazards, Ambitech Engineering Corporation (Ambitech) continues to provide the necessary personnel for data collection, the experience to design and analyze failure scenarios so that realistic and financially viable options can be developed, and the expertise to recommend solutions that deliver results. To help minimize the potential for significant disruptions to facility operations and to inform personnel about arc flash hazards, Ambitech’s clients in the manufacturing, process, and power industries rely on our breadth and depth of knowledge regarding arc flash hazards and solutions to get them through this complicated process.

Ambitech works closely with clients during all phases of an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis project. Since the adequacy of a facility’s electrical distribution system model (from which failure scenarios are run) is dependent on the accuracy and detail of single-line diagrams, Ambitech readily commits its available, qualified personnel to work with your staff to collect the data needed to create, verify, and update your facility’s single-line diagrams. We also work with our clients to identify cost-effective measures and/or equipment to negate some or all of the need to have facility employees in full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as they conduct their typical job functions. Such measures help increase productivity while meeting safety objectives.

According to Mark Warren, Ambitech Principal Electrical Engineer, ’Ambitech is well positioned to conduct Arc Flash Hazard Analyses because of its proven technical skills and because it readily provides the required number of knowledgeable and experienced personnel to gather the facility-level data needed at the outset of the project. This data, which we require to be accurate and of sufficient detail to build an electronic model to run power system studies, enables us to deliver the solutions our clients need to operate safely and economically within the regulatory environment they face. Our creativity in identifying viable options for our clients and our capacity to tackle any project of any size, complexity or timeframe in any industry makes us an excellent choice to help minimize the significant risks that arc flash incidents present.’
