Site Survey

Performing an on-site survey of your electrical system is the first step to creating or updating a single-line diagram. Trained HVM technicians collect information to determine the elements that need to be deleted or added in the overall schematic. Doing this creates a building block of knowledge. Once the survey is complete, our team will create a new, professional single-line diagram for your records.

Single-Line Development

The single-line diagram is the blueprint for electrical system analysis. It is the first step in preparing a critical response plan, allowing you to become thoroughly familiar with the electrical distribution system layout and design in your facility. Our engineering team will create a detailed single-line diagram that clearly documents your electrical distribution system design, giving you the documents necessary for electrical system analysis, maintenance, and future modifications.

Single-Line Review and Update

In many facilities, loads are continually added or removed in small increments. The net effect is not always seen until some part of the system becomes overloaded or exhibits other problems. Following a site survey, HVM engineers will update existing single-line diagrams or complete electrical system drawings as needed. This update will incorporate any changes to the infrastructure, note load changes, add missing components, and correct inaccurate information.

Compliance and Safety Check

Many electrical systems transform over time, causing concern for safety issues. That’s why NFPA 70E requires an accurate single-line diagram for each facility. HVM's highly trained professionals put their end-to-end expertise and knowledge of electrical industry code regulations to use to ensure compliance and safeguard your business.
