Scope
Primary was entrusted with delivering top-tier electrical engineering services for The Patch Brewery, a contemporary establishment located in the vibrant community of Maple Ridge. The project required the comprehensive design and implementation of electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, and communication networks, all adhering to top standards for performance, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
This project involved meticulous electrical engineering design, ensuring the seamless integration of the brewery’s electrical infrastructure with BC Hydro’s existing grid. This guaranteed reliable power delivery and adherence to all relevant regulations. Additionally, Primary collaborated with TELUS and Rogers to incorporate broadband and telecommunications systems, providing the brewery with high-speed internet and essential communication services.
The team managed the entire electrical engineering design process from concept to construction, including designing, implementing, and testing of fire alarm systems to meet both safety standards and project specifications.
