ESI’s Innovation Center provides electrical prefabrication and kitting services for commercial and industrial construction projects, fabricating everything from switch plates to entire electrical rooms. Assembling components off-site in a controlled shop environment rather than in the field improves safety, shortens installation time, and reduces cost. Sixty-five of our prefabricated electrical assemblies carry UL certification, meaning independent testing has confirmed they meet defined safety and performance standards.
Prefabrication limits employee exposure to hazardous conditions on the job site. Building a conduit rack in the shop at floor level is much safer and easier than building it in the air on a congested job site.
Consistent methods mean fewer errors. We perform forced planning and pre-test components before installation. Prefabricated products are labeled, giving future maintenance personnel an advantage when troubleshooting or making additions.
Our Innovation Center team uses manufacturing methods to produce individual assemblies with special tooling. Field installation time is reduced because a greater part of the work is completed in the shop, in a safe, climate-controlled area with tools and materials at hand.
Prefabricated assemblies can be built and stored ahead of schedule. Workstations are permanent and do not have to be set up each day, reducing distractions and keeping the project on track.
65 of ESI’s prefabricated electrical assemblies are UL listed. The certification means UL has tested representative samples of each product and determined they meet specific, defined requirements.
According to UL’s records, ESI is one of approximately 50 electrical contractors in the U.S. with this listing, placing ESI among an elite group of prefabrication specialists in the industry.

ESI’s Innovation Center team spent more time up front prefabricating the pipe run on this project, but the time saved in the field paid off. The team drew and clash tested pipe runs, broke each run into numbered segments with matching installation drawings attached to each skid, and used Trimble to shoot in anchors, avoiding the silica and eye hazards that come with overhead drilling.
