Power & Controls Engineering

Freese and Nichols offers professional services for electrical, power, SCADA and control systems. We design reliable power systems and controls for storm water infrastructure, water transmission pump stations, and water and wastewater treatment plants that keep systems operational, safe and dependable. Our experience includes electrical renovations, generator additions, low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical distribution systems, PLC replacements, HMI style guides, HMI improvements, SCADA master planning, and SCADA cybersecurity assessments. We provide full electrical design services and perform motor starting analysis for large motor applications. Our teams consider redundancy and backup power needs for facilities that are needed for critical, continued operation by properly sizing generators to maintain operations and provide additional capacity. Our SCADA and Instrumentation and Controls (I&C) team provides clients with reliable monitoring, control, remote access, and continued operations for treatment and pump station systems.
