Electrical Maintenance

Electrical MaintenanceIndustrial Tests, Inc. provides comprehensive full service electrical maintenance for industrial plants, large commercial facilities and municipal power stations. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are maintenance manager’s first choice for electrical testing, maintenance and repair. ITI is a NETA certified company that follows stringent MTS (Maintenance Testing Specification) standards with over 30 years of experience. ITI also boasts a zero injury safety record that comes with our prerogative to keep the safety of our personnel paramount.

ITI’s substation maintenance includes periodic inspections, repairs, and if necessary equipment replacement.  It is a systematic series of preventative measures to ensure the safety of all personnel working around the equipment, and the quality of the equipment itself.  The process normally includes visual and mechanical inspections that are carried out by trained professionals who look for signs of damage, corrosion, loose fittings, and displaced parts.   Unforeseen shutdowns due to equipment malfunctioning are costly, however, with the right maintenance services, these shutdowns can be prevented.

Benefits of Maintenance

ITI offers EPM (Electrical Preventative Maintenance) and MPM (mechanical preventative maintenance) that ensures the containment of problems before they occur.  Potential errors are diagnosed and addressed before they are able to become hazardous to the health of the system and the personnel handling the system.  Benefits of EPM and MPM are listed below:

  • Extended equipment life cycle
  • Assurance that personnel are working under a safe environment
  • Keeps equipment operating at manufacturer’s standard to ensure reliability and safety
  • Maintenance prevents future wear and tear from occurring as well as reduces cost for repairs
  • To keep substations operating at peak conditions, major substation maintenance should be done annually
