Metering Equipment Replacment Security Company

Metering Bank Recovery — "Explosion Response, Seamless Restoration"

A security company’s vehicle exploded directly in front of their metering bank, setting the equipment and part of the building ablaze. Our team responded immediately, securing the site and deploying a diesel-powered temporary power system with distribution panels to restore service to all tenants. Working with SRP, the security company, and building ownership, we sourced replacement gear locally — accelerating the rebuild timeline to just four to five months. Throughout the project, we maintained full operational continuity for the tenant and delivered a clean, code-compliant metering system with zero downtime.

Property Improvements

Zero tenant downtime — operations restored within hours and maintained throughout the rebuild
Accelerated timeline — local sourcing cut typical lead time by 40–60%
Code-compliant restoration — modern NEMA 3R metering system installed and accepted by SRP
Client satisfaction — seamless coordination, clear communication, and full operational continuity

To support ongoing communication and preparedness, we delivered a concise case study outlining the incident timeline, temporary power configuration, and major rebuild milestones. Before-and-after visuals help ownership clearly demonstrate the improvements to stakeholders, paired with a short testimonial script that can be used for future outreach. We also recommended an “Emergency Power Planning + Local Sourcing Strategy” as a follow-on service, giving Valley-based property owners a proactive roadmap for rapid response and accelerated restoration should a similar incident occur.
