Services

Independent technical verification by someone who will get on the floor with a meter.

Four of the services below are packaged differently because they're bought by different people at different moments — but they sell the same thing: a licensed set of hands and eyes that isn't on anyone else's payroll. Not a software company. Not a sensor manufacturer. Not a testing lab. A vendor-neutral advisor who reads both your electrical and mechanical systems, tells you exactly what to do and why, and helps you do it.

Flashpoint does not perform arc flash studies. All engagements are delivered as consulting observations and best-practice guidance.

Electrical Safety & Compliance

Bought after an audit finding or an incident. Both of these need a license and a meter, not a modeling package.

For: Facilities that already paid for an arc flash study and still aren't compliant.

Turn a completed study into compliance you can show an auditor: labels applied, breaker settings verified, equipment reconciled, discrepancies documented.

  • Label and sticker application across all assessed equipment
  • Breaker trip setting verification and discrepancy documentation
  • Equipment reconciliation — locating the gear the study references
  • Turnover documentation for an auditor or insurer
  • Pre-study readiness: circuit tracing and panel schedules

How this works →

For: Plants with a LOTO binder full of generic procedures that don't match the equipment on the floor.

Equipment-specific energy control procedures written at the equipment, verified by running them, and backed with employee training and the annual inspection most facilities skip.

  • Written energy control program development
  • Equipment-specific LOTO procedures
  • Field verification against the actual equipment
  • Authorized and affected employee training
  • Periodic inspection support

Construction & Capital Project Services

Assignment-based roles on projects coming alive. Independent of the GC and the electrical contractor, and travel-willing.

Energy Marshal

priced by assignment

For: Owners and construction managers on projects with a phased energization sequence.

A dedicated on-site authority who controls energization and holds the single source of truth on what is live — so two contractors never act on different assumptions about the same bus.

  • Isolation verification before work proceeds
  • Authorization and sequencing of energization
  • Single source of truth on energized/de-energized state
  • Coordination across GC, electrical contractor, CxA, and owner

How this works →

For: Owners and CMs who need independent technical representation through design, construction, and turnover.

Verification that what gets built matches what was specified, with electrical-specific commissioning — the scope most commissioning authorities treat as a checkbox.

  • Design and submittal review
  • Construction-phase observation and verification
  • Electrical functional testing and protection verification
  • Deficiency reporting and closeout documentation

Reliability & Monitoring

Predictive maintenance work for plants that want failures found before they take the line down.

PdM Readiness Assessment

from $2,500

For: Plant & maintenance managers unsure where predictive maintenance pays off first.

A 2–3 hour on-site walkthrough returning a priority-ranked action plan with equipment recommendations, ROI projections, and an implementation roadmap you can act on — or use to evaluate vendor proposals.

  • Asset criticality ranking
  • Current-state maintenance gap analysis
  • Technology fit & vendor-neutral recommendations
  • Projected savings model
  • 90-day implementation roadmap

Reliability Training

$5k–$15k / program

For: Maintenance teams that need to interpret data, not just collect it.

Custom 1–2 day workshops in PdM fundamentals, vibration-analysis basics, and electrical diagnostics for reliability — the combined E+M curriculum most training lacks.

  • PdM fundamentals for maintenance teams
  • Vibration analysis basics
  • Electrical diagnostics for reliability
  • Thermography interpretation

Facility Digital Twin & Asset Mapping

priced by facility size

For: Plants whose arc flash study says MSP-7 — but nobody can find MSP-7.

A LIDAR walkthrough of your facility producing a navigable 3D model with every electrical asset — switchgear, MCCs, panels, disconnects, transformers — located, tagged, and cross-referenced to your arc flash study line items. The map your labeling crew, maintenance planner, and next contractor have all been asking for.

  • Full-interior 3D scan of electrical spaces
  • Every electrical asset located & photo-tagged
  • Asset register cross-referenced to your arc flash study
  • Nameplate & panel-schedule capture
  • Shareable model your contractors can navigate

Advisory Retainer

$2k–$5k / month

For: Plants that want an ongoing reliability advisor without a full-time hire.

Monthly remote support plus quarterly on-site visits: alert triage, data interpretation, quarterly reviews, and a continuous-improvement roadmap — a fraction of a full-time reliability engineer's cost.

  • Alert triage & interpretation
  • Quarterly on-site reviews
  • Vendor & contractor evaluation
  • Continuous-improvement roadmap

Also in development: continuous switchgear thermal monitoring for early pilot partners — ask about pilot availability.

Not sure which fits? Start with a conversation.

Tell us what triggered the search — an audit finding, a study sitting in a binder, or a project about to energize. We'll tell you which of these applies, or that none of them do.
