Beyond Design. Beyond Expectations.

The value of engineering is measured by the results it delivers in the field. Recommendations, designs, and technical analysis must ultimately support safer operations, stronger reliability, and better business decisions. By understanding both the technical requirements of electrical systems and the operational realities of the facilities they serve, solutions can be developed that are practical, achievable, and built to create lasting value.

How it works

Power Systems Studies 

Advanced engineering studies that model your facility's electrical system to confirm it's properly rated, protected, and reliable. We calculate available fault current, verify equipment is rated for the duty it actually sees, and coordinate protective devices so the right breaker trips first and outages stay contained. Where the analysis turns up an issue, we don't just flag it — we recommend practical remediation.

Short circuit & device evaluation
Arc Flash hazard analysis
Protective device coordination studies
Load flow analysis
Harmonic & power quality analysis (field measurement, data analysis, mitigation)
Remediation recommendations for over-dutied / under-rated equipment
End-of-life equipment replacement planning

Arc Flash Studies

A complete arc flash hazard analysis that calculates incident energy at each piece of equipment, establishes the correct PPE and approach boundaries, and brings your facility into compliance with CSA Z462.

Arc flash hazard assessment & incident-energy calculations (CSA Z462)
Equipment labeling, PPE & boundary determination
Single-line diagram (SLD) updates
Equipment-specific energized work permits
Lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures
Arc flash awareness & worker safety training

Engineered Drawing Sets

Complete, code-compliant electrical drawings and specifications ready to issue for tender and construction. We produce coordinated single-lines, panel schedules, and Division 26 documentation that contractors can build from without guesswork — all prepared and sealed under our engineering permits.

Single-line diagrams & power distribution design
Panel schedules & load calculations
Lighting & lighting-control design (NECB-compliant)
Grounding & life-safety systems
Division 26 specifications & tender documents
Issued-for-Review through Issued-for-Construction package

Engineering Design

Practical electrical design for new builds, expansions, and upgrades — designed to be constructible, not just compliant on paper. Because MAKA Engineering and MAKA Power work under one roof, we can deliver design and installation as a single design-build package, giving you one point of accountability from concept through energization. That integration means constructability and cost issues get caught at the design stage, not in the field.

New facility & base-build electrical design
Facility expansion & modernization design
Power distribution & service entrance design
Controls & instrumentation design
Low-, medium- & high-voltage systems
Design-build delivery with MAKA Power — single point of accountability

Equipment Modernization & Retrofits

Engineering to replace aging, over-dutied, or end-of-life equipment and bring older systems up to current safety and reliability standards. We assess what you have, prioritize what needs attention, and design retrofits that keep downtime to a minimum.

Replacement of over-dutied or end-of-life equipment
Switchgear, MCC & distribution retrofits
Controls & automation upgrades
Reliability & infrastructure renewal assessments

Commissioning & Acceptance Testing Support

Independent verification that your electrical systems perform as designed before they're energized. We support acceptance and commissioning testing, document the results, and provide the engineering studies and technical reports that close out a project.

Acceptance & commissioning test support
Test reporting & documentation
Energy management & conservation studies
Custom engineering studies & technical reports
