In any industrial environment, power isn’t just a utility—it’s the foundation of production. From high-voltage systems to control panels and automated machinery, your industrial electrical infrastructure must be built to handle demanding workloads while supporting future growth.

Storee Construction provides comprehensive industrial electrical solutions as part of our plant infrastructure services, helping facilities expand, modernize, and operate more efficiently.

Whether you’re adding new equipment, upgrading an aging distribution system, or reconfiguring an entire plant, our team brings the experience, insight, and coordination skills required to complete complex electrical projects safely and on schedule.

With more than 50 years in industrial construction, Storee understands how to manage electrical upgrades that minimize downtime while maximizing long-term reliability.

Our Industrial Electrical Services for Midwest Plants

Reliable electrical systems are central to plant performance. They power machinery, automation systems, lighting, ventilation, safety devices, and more. If your infrastructure is underpowered, outdated, or not built to code, it can limit production, cause unexpected outages, and create safety risks for workers.

As technology advances and power needs increase, many facilities find their existing systems can’t keep up. Upgrading your electrical infrastructure doesn’t just support current operations—it opens the door for more efficient energy use, easier maintenance, and future expansion. It’s a smart investment that pays off in stability, uptime, and readiness for what’s next.

Machine Installation, Relocation, and Wiring

Our role includes helping clients define project scope, developing electrical upgrade plans that align with operational goals, selecting the right tradespeople for the work, and managing safety, scheduling, and integration across systems.

Because we understand plant processes from top to bottom, we’re able to guide electrical improvements that serve your entire operation—not just individual components. Whether the job involves new switchgear, upgraded conduit runs, or expanded load centers, we take the lead in ensuring your facility remains functional and compliant throughout the process.

And if electrical upgrades are part of a larger infrastructure modernization, Storee ensures seamless alignment between all moving parts.

Upgrading Electrical Infrastructure: What’s Involved

Electrical upgrades can range from simple panel replacements to full plant-wide system redesigns. In most cases, the process begins with a load and capacity assessment—looking at how much power your operation currently draws, where bottlenecks exist, and how future equipment will affect system demand.

Storee helps clients expand power service, upgrade distribution panels, install new branch circuits, and route conduit with future flexibility in mind. That may include improvements to lighting, machine power, ventilation systems, or emergency backup power.

We also focus on ensuring everything meets NEC, NFPA, and OSHA codes while aligning with your facility’s internal standards. When needed, our team can phase installations or perform work during scheduled downtime to avoid production disruptions.

Control Panel Design, Fabrication, and Installation

Modern facilities rely on far more than just electricity—they depend on integrated systems that combine power and data to run production equipment, track performance, and manage safety. Storee works with clients to connect electrical systems with control panels, PLCs, safety circuits, and facility automation infrastructure.

From supporting real-time production data to enabling energy efficiency upgrades like VFDs or LED retrofits, we make sure your electrical backbone can support the intelligent systems that drive modern manufacturing and processing. That includes everything from smart lighting and energy monitoring to production line reconfigurations tied to electrical layout changes.

Preventive Maintenance & Electrical Safety Audits (NFPA 70E)

Industrial electrical systems must meet strict regulatory standards—not only for safety, but also for reliability and code compliance. Storee builds projects around NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA, and site-specific safety protocols.

We coordinate arc flash hazard analysis, lockout/tagout system design, emergency e-stop circuit integration, and complete system labeling to prepare for inspections and long-term plant operation.

Our safety-first approach ensures your new or upgraded electrical systems don’t just power your plant—they protect your people and your productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Electrical

What’s the difference between industrial and commercial electrical work?
Industrial electrical systems are typically more complex, higher voltage, and custom-designed around production machinery and systems. Commercial setups (like office buildings or retail) focus more on general-purpose lighting and outlets.

Can Storee help us assess our facility’s electrical capacity?
Yes—we start with an evaluation of your current load and usage, then help you plan for upgrades that meet today’s needs and future expansion.

Can you coordinate electrical work without shutting down operations?
Absolutely. We specialize in working in active industrial environments and can phase work to minimize disruptions to your production schedule.

What codes or standards must industrial electrical systems meet?
Most projects require compliance with NEC (National Electrical Code), NFPA 70E (arc flash safety), OSHA safety standards, and any local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements.

Do electrical upgrades work as a standalone service or as part of larger projects?
We can do both. Many clients engage Storee for standalone electrical upgrades, but we also commonly integrate them into full plant renovations, equipment installations, or production upgrades.
