1. Method of procedure before work begins
We meet on site, review the scope, and identify the constraints that will shape the project: outage windows, Hydro Ottawa coordination requirements, clearance requirements, and parallel trades on the schedule.
2. Daily tailgate meetings and isolation plans
We submit a written scope, a method of procedure (MOP), and a fixed estimate or rate-basis pricing depending on the work. The MOP defines every isolation, every test, every load transfer, and the abort plan.
3. Lockout, tagout, and arc flash discipline
Hydro Ottawa switching plans are submitted and confirmed. ESA notifications, hot work permits, and prime contractor coordination are nailed down before mobilisation. We do not mobilise until the paperwork is in place.
4. Cleared, certified, current
Daily safety briefings, lockout tagout, and supervised switching. Live changeovers are rehearsed before the planned outage. Switching plans are signed off by every person involved before the breakers move.
5. Documentation and post-job verification
Testing to NETA standards where applicable, ESA inspection, and a documentation package for your records and your insurer. The handoff includes switching logs, lockout records, test reports, and updated as-built drawings.
