Steel Fabrication: Facility Expansion

Posted on April 29, 2024June 10, 2024 by micahu

MAKA Power was invaluable in the design build of our facilities expansion. They provided us with complete end-to-end system development, engineering, install and commisioning. They completed the project within budget and timeline, we will be using them again."

- Facility Manager

This project was a facility expansion with MAKA Power providing design assistance.

Requiring new electrical infrastructure to support new functions, MAKA provided electrical systems for a variety of manufacturing equipment.

Electrical systems were designed and deployed to support several manufacturing lines including: a tube laser cutter (200A 480V Sub distribution), a 480V press brake (600A 600V Sub distribution), a Mitsubishi laser cutter (400A 600V Sub distribution), as well as supporting electrical systems for compressors and a new emergency generator for the facility.

Project Value: $650,000

Apartment High-Rise: Fire Remediation

Posted on April 29, 2024June 17, 2024 by micahu

MAKA Power arrived on site within 15 minutes of our call and worked tirelessly through the night with the fire department to secure the safety of the building's electrical systems. In situations like this, we wouldn't call anyone else, MAKA Power kept us updated, were extremely knowledgeable and had 15 electricians on site the next day to begin remediation work."

- Property Manager

This project was for fire remediation at a Winnipeg apartment block with MAKA Power providing design assistance. A fire on the roof and 18-floor tower caused smoke and water damage in suites, main electrical room, elevator, lobby, and multiple other locations.

MAKA Power worked swiftly to secure the safety the building’s electrical systems and re-energize essential systems so remediation efforts could commence. We worked with engineers to test equipment and determine what new components would be needed. Helping to source affordable options, we also prioritized early orders to help ensure tenants would be able to return in a timely manner.

Our team completed the demolition and replacement of all damaged electrical equipment.
