Industrial Electrical Work Built Around Uptime, Safety, and Throughput
Your facility does not need a generalist. You need an industrial electrician who can tie new equipment into live operations, plan shutdowns cleanly, and leave you with documentation your maintenance team can actually use.
3-Phase Power Distribution
New feeders, service upgrades, power quality corrections, and distribution changes for 208V, 240V, and 480V systems. We plan your 3-phase power work around production schedules instead of forcing production around the electrician.
Switchgear Installation and Upgrades
We replace aging switchgear, expand lineups, coordinate shutdowns, and handle commissioning so your plant can add capacity without creating avoidable risk.
Machine Wiring and Equipment Connections
From single-machine installs to full production line tie-ins, we handle machine wiring, disconnects, control wiring, terminations, and startup support for manufacturing equipment.
Motor Control Centers
We build out and modify motor control centers, VFD sections, starters, and bucket replacements so your maintenance team can manage motors, pumps, and process equipment with confidence.
Preventative Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Infrared scans, panel inspections, torque checks, feeder tracing, and fault isolation. If you are chasing nuisance trips, heat, or intermittent equipment failures, we help you find the root cause instead of swapping parts blindly.
Shutdown Planning and Compliance
Detailed sequencing, lockout support, punchlist cleanup, and closeout documentation. As an industrial electrical contractor working in active facilities, we understand contractor onboarding, safety documentation, and ISNetworld requirements.
You get industrial crews who know how to work inside active plants
A lot of electricians can pull wire. Fewer can walk into a manufacturing plant, understand the sequence of operations, coordinate with production, and execute without turning a routine install into unplanned downtime.
That matters in high-stakes environments like airports, datacenters, and factories, where shutdown windows are tight, equipment is mission-critical, and clean coordination around 3-phase power, controls, and machine wiring is non-negotiable.
- Clear scopes for service changes, process equipment, and expansion work
- Industrial electrician crews trained for PPE, shutdowns, and site-specific onboarding
- Support for switchgear, MCC, conveyor, pump, and machine wiring projects
- National account coverage with one contract across 18 markets
Industrial Electrical Capabilities
Industrial Facilities We Support
Whether you are expanding production, replacing aging distribution, or tying in new automation, we match the crew and plan to the facility you run.
Manufacturing Plants
New process equipment, machine wiring, production line expansions, and 3-phase power distribution for facilities that cannot afford sloppy shutdown work.
Food and Beverage
Washdown areas, packaging equipment, refrigeration support, and plant upgrades scheduled around sanitation and production windows.
Warehouses and Distribution
High-bay lighting, conveyor power, service additions, and dock equipment support for facilities moving product around the clock.
Water and Process Facilities
Pump controls, motor control centers, standby power coordination, and electrical upgrades for treatment and process environments.
Heavy Commercial and Mixed-Use
Facilities that blur the line between commercial and industrial, including large back-of-house equipment, service upgrades, and critical infrastructure work.
A cleaner way to run industrial electrical projects
You should know what is being installed, when power is coming down, what risks are in play, and what it will take to get production back online. That is how we manage the work.
Site Walk and Scope Review
We review equipment loads, existing distribution, shutdown limits, and contractor requirements before the first schedule hits your inbox.
Planning and Procurement
Submittals, shutdown sequencing, material lead times, and safety documentation are handled upfront so your install does not stall in the field.
Execution in Active Operations
Our industrial electrician crews coordinate with maintenance, production, and other trades to keep the work moving without creating confusion on your floor.
Startup and Closeout
Testing, labeling, punchlist completion, and documentation handoff so your team is not left decoding what was changed after the contractor leaves.
18 Markets. One Master Contract.
National reach with local crews. Each market has a dedicated project manager. No call centers. No sub-contractor middlemen.

Industrial Electrician FAQ
What does an industrial electrician handle?
An industrial electrician works on the power and control systems that keep facilities running, including 3-phase power, feeders, panels, switchgear, process equipment, and machine wiring. If your operation depends on motors, conveyors, pumps, automation, or high-load equipment, you need an electrician who understands industrial environments instead of standard office build-outs.
When should you hire an industrial electrical contractor instead of a general electrical crew?
You should bring in an industrial electrical contractor when the project involves live production, shutdown planning, heavy equipment tie-ins, distribution changes, or compliance-heavy facilities. That includes new motor control centers, service upgrades, replacement switchgear, and equipment installations where downtime has a direct cost.
What kinds of facilities does Bates Electric support?
We support operations ranging from manufacturing plants and warehouses to airports, datacenters, and factories with complex service requirements. These environments often need careful shutdown planning, dependable 3-phase power, and precise machine wiring so production, logistics, or critical systems stay on schedule.
Can Bates Electric work inside facilities with strict contractor requirements?
Yes. Bates Electric is licensed, bonded, and ISNetworld (ISN) Certified. We regularly work inside active commercial and industrial sites with contractor onboarding, safety documentation, and shutdown coordination requirements. If your site has a formal safety or access process, we are used to it.
