Scope of Work: Electrical Review of Critical System Operations & Breaker Panels

Project Overview

This project involves a comprehensive electrical assessment of all critical system operations equipment and breaker panels throughout a 33-story commercial office building. The goal is to ensure system reliability, code compliance, and identify any potential safety or operational risks.

1. Objectives

• Evaluate the condition and performance of all electrical panels and critical systems.

• Identify deficiencies, code violations, or safety concerns.

• Provide recommendations for corrective actions or upgrades.

• Support future planning for maintenance or capital improvements.

2. Systems & Equipment to be Reviewed

• Main switchgear and distribution panels

• Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS)

• Emergency and standby power systems (including generators and UPS)

• All electrical breaker panels on each floor

• Critical systems such as:

o Fire alarm systems

o HVAC controls

o Elevator systems

o Life safety systems

o Data center/server room power

o Lighting control panels tied to emergency systems

3. Tasks and Deliverables

Pre-Assessment Phase

• Conduct a kickoff meeting with building management and facilities staff.

• Review existing electrical drawings, panel schedules, and maintenance records.

Field Assessment

• Visually inspect all breaker panels and critical system components.

• Verify labeling, load balancing, and breaker sizing.

• Check for signs of overheating, corrosion, or physical damage.

• Use thermal imaging to detect hot spots or overloaded circuits.

• Test ATS functionality and generator integration.

• Confirm grounding and bonding integrity.

• Document any code violations or safety hazards.

4. Reporting

• Provide a detailed report including:

o Observations and findings

o Photos and thermal images

o Code compliance issues

o Risk assessment

o Recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or further testing

o Include a prioritized action plan with estimated costs.

5. Assumptions

• Building access will be provided during normal business hours and/or scheduled after-hours as needed.

• Electrical rooms and panels are accessible and not obstructed.

• No live testing beyond thermal imaging will be performed unless otherwise approved.
