Built Specifically for Electrical & Industrial Contractors

Electrical installations often require custom structural supports that must safely transfer loads to roof framing, concrete slabs, or steel structures.

We provide structural engineering design and stamped calculations for:

  • Cable tray support frames
  • Suspended trapeze hanger systems
  • Roof-hung cable and bus duct supports
  • Transformer and switchgear support structures
  • Steel equipment frames and platforms
  • Anchorage and seismic restraint systems
  • Retrofit supports in existing facilities

If your project requires structural review, stamped drawings, or load verification, we can assist quickly and efficiently.

Suspended & Roof-Hung Electrical Support Systems

Hanging cables or equipment from roof joists, beams, or slabs requires proper load path verification.

We design and verify:

  • Hanger rod systems and strut frames
  • Connection details to steel or concrete, including structural connection design and calculations for fabricated steel assemblies.
  • Load transfer to joists, purlins, or beams
  • Reinforcement when existing framing is insufficient
  • Seismic bracing per Ontario Building Code

We assess the capacity of the existing structure and provide practical solutions when additional reinforcement is required. Our work is performed under the supervision of a licensed structural engineer in Toronto with experience in industrial and infrastructure projects.

Cable Tray & Rack Support Frame Design

Industrial and infrastructure projects often require freestanding or multi-tier cable support systems. See our case study on a modular steel cable tray support system developed for an Ontario industrial facility, where prefabricated HSS assemblies significantly reduced on-site installation time.

We provide structural design for:

  • Floor-supported cable rack frames
  • Multi-level tray systems
  • Equipment service platforms
  • Custom steel frames fabricated by contractors
  • Base plate and anchor bolt design

Detailed drawings and connection forces are provided for fabrication and installation.

Electrical Equipment Support & Anchorage

Heavy electrical equipment must be safely supported and anchored.

We provide design for:

  • Transformer housekeeping pads
  • Switchgear support frames
  • Bus duct support structures
  • UPS and generator support systems
  • Seismic anchorage design in accordance with Ontario seismic requirements.

All designs comply with Ontario Building Code and NBCC load requirements.

Retrofit & Existing Building Modifications

Many projects occur in active facilities where space is limited and existing structure must be evaluated.

We assist with:

  • Capacity verification of existing roof framing
  • Point load assessment
  • Reinforcement design
  • Field-driven revisions
  • Coordination with mechanical and electrical teams

We understand real-world construction conditions and provide practical, buildable details.

Why Electrical Contractors Work With Us

Electrical contractors need:

  • Fast turnaround
  • Clear, buildable details
  • Stamped calculations for permit or owner review
  • Responsive revisions when site conditions change

We focus on:

  • Practical engineering solutions
  • Direct coordination with project managers
  • Efficient review of IFC drawings
  • Clear load paths and connection forces

Our goal is to support your installation, not slow it down.

Code Compliance & Technical Standards

Our designs are prepared in accordance with:

  • Ontario Building Code
  • NBCC load combinations and seismic provisions
  • CSA S16 steel design
  • CSA A23.3 concrete design
  • Applicable welding and anchorage standards

Stamped drawings and calculation packages are available as required.

Typical Project Types

We have supported numerous electrical installations across Ontario through both contractors and direct engagements.

What We Need to Get Started

To provide a quick proposal, send us:

  • Equipment weights and dimensions
  • Cable tray layout drawings
  • Structural drawings of the existing building, if available
  • Project location

We typically respond within 24 hours.
