Storee Construction helps facilities manage power needs across the Midwest. We have provided expert industrial construction solutions since 1966. This year marks more than 60 years of dependable service. Your facility needs a steady flow of power to stay profitable.
We work as your primary general industrial electrical contractor to coordinate, plan, and oversee your electrical upgrades. Storee understands how complex factory systems connect. We do not manufacture components or act as a utility company. Instead, we use our deep design-build experience to bring in the right specialized experts for your project.
Industrial Electrical System Upgrades
Industrial power is the clear baseline for all plant production. Old or weak power setups can slow down assembly lines. They can cause unexpected power loss and create daily safety risks. Upgrading your systems keeps your plant running without a hitch.
Modern equipment demands more power than older systems could ever provide. Upgrading your setup does more than just support your current machines. It prepares your plant for future expansions and lowers energy costs.
Here are three common signs that your plant needs an electrical update:
- Outdated distribution panels that feel hot or trip often.
- Voltage drops when heavy machinery turns on.
- A complete lack of physical space to add new production lines.
Managing Industrial Electrical Services & Plant Upgrades
Many plant managers wonder why they should hire a general contractor instead of just calling local electrical contractors. The answer comes down to full project coordination. Industrial electrical projects often require structural changes, new concrete pads, or wall openings. Storee Construction handles the big picture. We manage the entire schedule and make sure the work fits your exact plant layout.
As your general contractor, our specialized management role includes:
- Evaluating your total facility layout and space limits.
- Selecting and hiring top licensed electrical contractors for active field installations.
- Verifying that all materials match your project budget and project goals.
- Coordinating structural edits so heavy panels sit on stable foundations.
Industrial Plant Electrical Upgrade Process
A successful facility upgrade requires a clear plan. We start with a full load and capacity assessment. This review looks at how much power your plant currently uses and where bottlenecks happen. Next, we design a layout that routes conduit out of the way of your daily traffic.
We plan our work to fit around your production shifts. This proactive method keeps your regular operations moving forward. Storee manages the entire field workflow. We oversee the setup of new distribution panels, branch circuits, and safety switches. Our team supervises the physical installation from start to finish. We make sure every component matches the approved engineering prints.
Industrial Controls, Automation & Machine Wiring
Modern manufacturing relies on smart tech. Your electrical systems must connect seamlessly with automated machines and software. Storee coordinates the details to hook up your electrical lines to data networks, control panels, and safety circuits.
We ensure your basic power loops can support advanced digital upgrades. This includes variable frequency drives and automated sensors. We help you tie your production lines together so your machinery functions safely and efficiently. Our process protects your high-tech tools from sudden power spikes.

Industrial Electrical Services FAQs
How do you check if our current facility has enough electrical capacity for new machines?
Storee collaborates with technical experts to study your utility bills and track your live power usage. This data shows exactly how much spare power you have left before we start any physical upgrades.
What safety rules guide industrial power setups?
We ensure all installations follow current NEC, NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards. This compliance guards your staff against arc flash risks and keeps your plant ready for official insurance audits.
Can you update our power setups during a facility relocation?
Yes. Storee specializes in complete plant relocations. We plan the electrical layout at your new location so your machines power up immediately upon arrival.
What is a load center upgrade and why would our plant need one?
A load center takes power from the main source and sends it to specific machine lines. Upgrading this setup prevents overloads when you run multiple heavy machines at the same time.
How does Storee maintain clean workspaces during electrical installations?
We use strict dust walls and phase our work by zone. This cleanup protocol is especially vital in food processing plants and clean manufacturing sites.
Do you manage the permits and utility company phone calls?
Yes. As your managing general contractor, Storee handles all city permits and coordinates directly with your local power provider to verify service upgrades.
Why should we use a design-build general contractor instead of hiring separate crews?
Using Storee as your single point of contact prevents communication gaps. We blend the structural, mechanical, and electrical phases into one single plan to save you time and money.
