Every wire labeled. Every conduit run straight. Every panel schedule matching reality. That's not a promise — it's what our inspection record proves.

Project Record

Every building type.
Every scope of work.

Four institutions. Four different challenges. The same result: code-compliant, on schedule, no surprises.

Days to Inspection

The Challenge

The 1962 building had aluminum branch circuit wiring in every classroom, a 400A service that hadn't been touched since 1978, and a fire alarm panel the district's own inspector had flagged as non-compliant with NFPA 72 Chapter 10. The science wing was tagged out of service.

Scope of Work

Full service upgrade to 1,200A, copper re-wire of 34 classrooms, 312 arc-fault breakers, new fire alarm loop with addressable devices, EV conduit stub-outs in faculty lot.

Project Timeline

Discovery Walkthrough

Infrared scan of all panels, aluminum wiring audit, fire alarm loop trace — completed in 2 days before bid.

Scope & Phasing Plan

Phased re-wire sequenced around spring testing calendar. Science wing prioritized for bond compliance deadline.

Summer Construction

9-week window. 22 electricians on site. Parallel crews — service upgrade crew and classroom re-wire crew — no single-point bottlenecks.

Energized & Inspected

AHJ sign-off on Day 61. Fire marshal clearance Day 63. Science wing re-opened Day 1 of fall semester.

“They handed me a panel schedule on Day 1 that matched what was actually in the walls. I've never had a contractor do that before the work started.”

Portable Classrooms on Aging Feeders — Rewired 18 Portables Without a Single Lost School Day

60A → 100A ea.
Feeder Capacity
18 Rooms
Title 24 Controls

The Challenge

18 portable classrooms fed by undersized 60A feeders from a 1984 distribution panel. HVAC upgrades had pushed loads past 85% capacity. Two portables had tripped their main breakers 11 times in one semester.

Scope of Work

New 400A sub-panel for portable yard, individual 100A feeders to each portable, Title 24 lighting controls in all 18 units, tamper-resistant receptacles throughout.

Project Timeline

Load Analysis

Metered actual loads across all 18 portables during peak HVAC periods. Documented 94% average load factor — 34% over safe design threshold.

Phased Weekend Work

Trenching and conduit installation on 3 consecutive weekends. Zero impact on school schedule.

Panel Cutover

Friday afternoon cutover, restored by Sunday evening. Principal confirmed Monday morning power-on.

Title 24 Sign-Off

Lighting control commissioning and CEC compliance documentation delivered same day as final inspection.

“We had parents calling about the tripped breakers. After Conduit finished, we haven't had a single complaint. The principal stopped worrying about Monday mornings.”

The Challenge

The 1971 S&T building needed full electrical modernization as part of a Measure B bond program. The college's bond oversight committee required monthly progress reporting, independent inspector access, and a hard completion date tied to fall enrollment targets.

Scope of Work

2,400A switchgear replacement, lab-grade isolated ground circuits in 8 chemistry and physics labs, 400A EV charging infrastructure for 48 faculty/staff spaces, new emergency generator with automatic transfer switch, full fire alarm addressable system per NFPA 72.

Project Timeline

Bond Coordination

Submitted DSA-compliant submittals in Week 1. Established weekly progress meeting rhythm with bond oversight team.

Switchgear Shutdown

Coordinated 72-hour campus power outage during spring break. Temporary power for critical systems maintained throughout.

Lab Circuit Installation

Isolated ground circuits for analytical equipment. Every circuit meggered and documented before equipment hook-up.

Substantial Completion

Certificate of Occupancy issued July 12 — 11 days ahead of August 1 bond milestone. $0 in liquidated damages.

“The bond committee asked me to name one contractor I'd put in front of voters again. I named Conduit without hesitation. They treated our public dollars like their own.”

Net University Savings

The Challenge

The university's sustainability office had a 2025 carbon-neutral target and a Prop 39 grant covering 60% of a microgrid installation. The challenge: integrating 14 existing buildings with wildly inconsistent electrical infrastructure — some vintage 1950s, some brand new — into a single coordinated system without disrupting active research labs running 24/7 experiments.

Scope of Work

2.4MW rooftop solar across 6 buildings, 1.8MWh battery storage, microgrid controller with demand response, 14-building SCADA integration, research lab uninterruptible power provisions, full utility interconnection agreement.

Project Timeline

Infrastructure Audit

Electrical audit of all 14 buildings. Discovered 3 buildings with incompatible metering — redesigned integration before breaking ground.

Research Lab Coordination

Scheduled all switching events around lab experiment calendars. Zero experiments interrupted across 18 months of construction.

Microgrid Commissioning

72-hour island mode test with simulated utility outage. System maintained full campus power within 800ms of grid disconnect.

Prop 39 Closeout

Grant documentation package submitted 3 weeks early. Full reimbursement received. University saved $1.4M net of Conduit fees.

“We've worked with firms twice the size of Conduit on projects half as complex. None of them coordinated research lab schedules the way these people did. They understood what was at stake.”
