Electrical: projects by borough and county
What electrical engineering does Concord provide?
Concord Consulting Engineering PC designs power distribution, lighting and lighting controls, emergency and back-up power, and electrical service upgrades for new buildings, renovations and tenant fit-outs in New Jersey and New York. The electrical design is coordinated with the HVAC, plumbing and fire alarm work.
Common questions
Does Concord design emergency generators?
Yes. For a fire station project in Old Bridge, New Jersey, Concord designed four gas-fired emergency generators of 100 to 200 kW at four sites, with the load calculations, one-line diagrams, transfer switches, wiring and natural gas service. At a Long Beach, New York nursing home, it replaced a generator with a new 250 kW unit and remote radiator and designed the generator room ventilation.
Can Concord design an electrical service upgrade?
Yes. Concord surveys the existing service and loads, runs the load calculations and sizes the new service, then prepares the power and riser drawings and the utility service application. For owners who first need to know what an existing service can carry, Concord also writes electrical load letters and condition reports.
Does Concord design power for electric vehicle charging?
Yes. For a 60,000 sq ft warehouse fit-out at Newark Airport, Concord's electrical design included equipment power and vehicle charging areas, along with a back-up generator and a 20,000 sq ft office fit-out. Charging equipment goes into the load calculation from the start, so the service and the distribution are sized to carry it.
Which electrical code applies in New York City and New Jersey?
In New York City, electrical design follows the NYC Electrical Code, which is based on the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) with New York City amendments. In New Jersey, it follows the edition of NFPA 70 adopted in the electrical subcode of the Uniform Construction Code. Lighting power and controls also follow each state's energy code.
