Our expertise
At Howard Engineering, we design electrical systems for entire facilities, but we also provide design services to modify existing electrical systems to accommodate expansions or new equipment.
We work with our clients
From the initial design, Howard Engineering works closely with our clients in defining the current and future demands of their electrical systems.
We ensure every level of detail
By coordinating our electrical design with the other engineering disciplines and architects involved in a project, we can ensure the necessary level of details is included for the construction of a successful project.
With a strong presence in the water and wastewater industry, Howard Engineering designs and specifies standby power systems including stationary and portable generating solutions, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and major renovations of electrical systems to allow for expansions and upgrades to existing plants.

Other Capabilities
Arc Flash Analysis
NFPA 70E is the Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. "The purpose of this standard is to provide a practical safe working area for employees relative to the hazards arising from the use of electricity." The current edition of NFPA 70E requires employers to perform an arc flash hazard analysis as part of their electrical safety program. Howard Engineering's comprehensive arc flash hazard analysis is designed to assist our clients in addressing the requirements of NFPA 70E.
In the event of an injury or death due to an electrical accident, if OSHA determines that compliance with 70E would have prevented or lessened the injury, OSHA may cite the employer under the "general duty clause" for not using 70E to protect the employee(s). In a 2003 "Standards Interpretation" letter OSHA stated 70E can be used as evidence of whether the employer acted reasonably.
Mechanical Engineering Services
Howard Engineering offers mechanical engineering services to support wastewater treatment facilities. With expertise in NFPA 820, the standard for fire protection in wastewater treatment and collection facilities, we collaborate closely with project teams to ensure proper ventilation and fire protection while minimizing hazards. Additionally, we provide cooling solutions for electrical rooms housing VFDs and other heat-generating equipment.
