The Standards Stack

The codes that govern every USA engagement.

USA practice runs the American electrical safety stack as the primary frame. The reviewer carries a state-board PE licence stamped on every deliverable.

Safety Standard
NFPA 70E
Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. The American baseline for arc flash and electrical safety practice across every Gulf Coast engagement.
Arc Flash
IEEE 1584
IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations. Applied on every refinery, petrochem, and data centre arc flash assessment.
National Electric
NEC (NFPA 70)
National Electrical Code. The statutory baseline for electrical installations in the United States.
Federal
OSHA 29 CFR 1910
Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations on subpart S electrical safety. Mandatory compliance.
Industry
ANSI/IEEE Color Books
The IEEE Color Books series (Red, Green, Buff, Gray, etc.) for industrial power system practice.
Sign-Off
Licensed PE
Professional Engineer licence stamped per state board (TX, LA, CA, VA, AZ) before deliverable release.
The Practice Artifact

Multilingual practice signage. English-Spanish across the Gulf Coast.

One artifact of the broader five-discipline practice. Multilingual safety and operational signage in English plus Spanish where Gulf Coast workforces and OSHA right-to-know provisions require.

Five Deliverables

Five disciplines. Five USA deliverables.

The five brownfield digital engineering practices applied across American Gulf Coast refining, hyperscale data centres, and US heavy industry.

Discipline 01
Power System Studies
Load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, transient stability across 138 kV down to 208 V. NFPA 70E + IEEE 1584 dual-standard practice.
Discipline 02
3D LiDAR Scanning
Leica RTC 360 brownfield asset capture across Gulf Coast refineries, US data centres, and pharma campuses. Front-end to digital twin handover.
Discipline 03
As-Built Engineering
P&ID, single-line diagrams, isometric piping, GA, equipment lists. ANSI standards aligned. BIM and digital twin handover ready.
Discipline 04
Discrete Event Simulation
FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio. Throughput optimisation across Houston Ship Channel terminals, US automotive assembly, and Long Beach port operations.
Discipline 05
Risk + Safety + AMC
HAZOP, LOPA, QRA, SIL per IEC 61511. PSM 1910.119 compliance. 5-year NFPA 70E arc flash recertification AMC retainer.
USA Footprint

Two hubs. One flag.

Statutory Authorities

The regulators we answer to.

Every American engagement runs through at least one of these statutory authorities.

OSHA
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
29 CFR 1910 subpart S electrical safety enforcement. Federal jurisdiction across all US industrial sites.
EPA
Environmental Protection Agency
RMP rule, CAA, CWA overlay on refining, chemical, and pharma sites we engineer.
NRC
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Applied where engagement touches nuclear-adjacent infrastructure or radiological boundary.
FERC
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Bulk power system reliability and grid interconnection oversight. Reliability Coordinator alignment.
PHMSA
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
DOT pipeline safety regulations where engineering scope crosses pipeline corridors.
State PUC
State Public Utility Commissions
Texas RRC, Louisiana PSC, California CPUC, and counterparts. State-level grid and tariff authorities.
