The Real Challenges of Installing Heavy Machinery
Installing heavy-duty industrial machinery is a far more complex task than simply moving it into a building. It requires a specialized understanding of both the equipment and the building’s structural and environmental needs.
Solving the Problem of a Shifting Foundation
In a climate like Ottawa’s, the ground is subject to frost heave, where water in the soil freezes and expands, causing the ground to shift. This can be disastrous for a piece of heavy, precision machinery, causing it to go out of calibration or even damaging it.
To prevent this, we excavate down below the local frost line (typically between 1.2 to 1.8 meters or 4 to 6 feet in Ottawa) and install a reinforced concrete footing directly beneath the machine. This footing isolates the machine’s foundation from the effects of seasonal ground movement, ensuring your machinery stays level, stable, and productive year-round.
Meeting the Demanding Electrical Needs
Industrial machinery, especially CNC mills and large-scale welding equipment, doesn’t run on standard household power. These machines require significant electrical infrastructure that a typical electrician may not be equipped to handle.
We specialize in designing and installing industrial-grade electrical systems, including:
Three-Phase Power
Heavy-duty equipment requires three-phase power, which provides a more efficient and consistent flow of electricity than the single-phase power found in residential buildings.
High Amperage Service
We assess the total power draw of your equipment and install a service capable of handling high amperage loads, from 480V to 600V
Precision Wiring
We ensure that all wiring, conduits, and panels are installed to meet the precise demands of your machinery and are fully compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
We Solve Your Toughest Challenges
We know the challenges you face, from complex regulations to the need for a seamless workflow. We are here to solve those problems for you.
- Navigating Complex Regulations and Compliance: Fabrication facilities are heavily regulated. We solve this by acting as your expert partner, ensuring full compliance with the Ontario Building Code, OHSA (Regulation 851), and WHMIS. We handle the permitting process, inspections, and documentation, so you can focus on your business without the worry of costly fines or project delays.
- Ensuring an Efficient Workflow for Materials: An inefficient layout can cost you time and money. We partner with you to design a workflow that maximizes productivity, with a logical flow from material delivery to fabrication and final shipment. We optimize the layout to reduce bottlenecks and ensure your operations run smoothly and safely.
- Creating a Durable, Safe, and Contained Environment: Your facility must be able to withstand constant abuse while protecting your workers and the surrounding environment. We address this by using commercial-grade materials specifically chosen for durability. We also design for proper containment of hazardous materials and waste, ensuring your facility is a safe and environmentally sound operation.
