Schools, private schools and daycares
Classroom power and technology, lab and kitchen circuits, emergency lighting that passes inspection, and work scheduled for summers, breaks and after the last bus, with children's safety first on every site.
What the work involves
Larger school and daycare electrical work is scheduled for summer and long breaks, and smaller work after dismissal. We order long lead items as soon as the scope is approved, so a summer project does not run into the first week of school. Where children are present, work areas are closed off.
Classrooms now carry projectors, charging carts and devices on every desk, and older buildings were not wired for them. We add circuits where the load has grown, and plan receptacle locations with the school so cords are not run across the floor.
Science labs, career shops and cafeteria kitchens each have their own equipment circuits and the GFCI protection NEC 210.8(B) requires in the locations it lists. Shop equipment gets disconnects where the code calls for them.
Hallways and stairs must stay lit when the power fails. NFPA 101 sets a monthly 30 second test and an annual 90 minute test for battery units, with written records, and we keep those records ready for the fire marshal.
Larger work is scheduled for summer and long breaks, and smaller work after dismissal. On a site with children present, our work areas are closed off and no open panel or tool is left unattended.
Public districts usually buy through bids, approved vendor lists and cooperative contracts. We bid in writing to the district's scope and pull the permit where the work needs one.
Summer projects go wrong when parts arrive late and the work runs into the first week of school. We order long lead items as soon as the scope is approved, and plan the work so each room is finished and safe before the next is opened.
