The basic approach to the construction is to design for and execute the repair by replacement the installation of transformers, 480V Main Distribution Panels (MDP), Motor Control Centers (MCC), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), generator control systems, control/monitoring consoles, emergency lighting generator, Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), and the associated electrical system. The work involves extensive electrical repair work, which will include, but not be limited generators, electrical switchgears, panels, wirings, demolition, concrete, and transformers.
