EEC attends the 2012 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop (ESW)

EEC (Eta Engineering Consultants) attended the 2012 IEEE IAS Electrical Safety Workshop in Daytona Beach, FL. As always, the Electrical Safety Workshop provided great insight into the advancements of electrical safety in the workplace. EEC feels the Electrical Safety Workshop meet IAS’s mission of:

  • Accelerating the application of breakthrough improvements in human factors, technology, and managing systems that reduce risk of electrical injuries
  • Stimulating innovation in overcoming barriers
  • Changing and advancing the electrical safety culture to enable sustainable improvements in prevention of electrical accidents and injuries

EEC was able to participate/attend a number of the technical programs, tours and standard working group sessions. By attending the IAS Electrical Safety Workshop yearly, EEC is able stay current with all the electrical safety standards and stay engaged with the vast electrical safety community in the United States and the World. The community allows EEC to have healthy dialog about safety issues and build a network of support which has proving extremely valuable to our clients. Between 400 and 500 fellow engineers attended the workshop and it was obvious they shared the same enthusiasm as EEC’s staff does in understanding and preventing electrical injuries.
EEC provides power system study services which include modeling, load flow, short circuit, transient motor starting calculations, protective device coordination, arc flash studies and mitigation. EEC has developed the knowledge and expertise, while investing in the tools, to cost-effectively analyze and provide recommendations/result for most power systems. EEC’s power system engineers have up to date license and experience with ETAP, SKM and EasyPower. Feel free to contact EEC if you have any questions or power system study needs.

EEC Recognized for Strength and Durability in Design

EEC was recognized at the Ohio Masonry Association’s 24th annual Award of Excellence in Masonry Design program for their work on the Argillite Fire Station & Community Center. EEC received the 2011 Public Service Merit Design Award. Brian Horsley, Project Manager was in attendance at the event to receive the award.

The Ohio Masonry Association jury noted that what seems to have become a standard for rural fire departments is to erect a pre-engineered, steel structural system with clad metal siding that looks no different than any farm or industrial warehouse. These structures often lack durability due to exposed vinyl surfaces, insulated blankets, ceilings and walls that are easily damaged and degraded.

The OMA jury determined this is not the case with the design of The Argillite Fire Station & Community Center; a design project that used split face CMU’s and pronounced standing-seam metal siding for the roof, as well as the fascia and soffits. Masonry strength and durability with an interior that is finished with durable, washable surfaces was a key benefit and very wise decision for the long haul. All these assets added up to this project earning a merit award from the jury.
