Design and Build for a Client’s Environment Powell originated the concept of the self-contained and  integrated Power Control Rooms (PCR ® ) 50 years ago. Now  with our new 180,000 SF factory in Edmonton, Alberta we have  taken the same product concept and optimized the design for  the environment of Canada. Powell’s PCRs already met design  specifications for wind and roof loading, and we were able to  quickly adapt our design and production process to comply with  regional requirements. Our ability to get up to speed quickly,  design and build in easy to ship sections, and control time and  money in manufacturing have proved critical to serving the active  Canadian market.  Based on our experience delivering complex  electrical systems for offshore projects, Powell  was asked to provide full integration services  for one of the largest, most complex offshore  structures in the world for a major oil company.  Located off the coast of Canada, the stand- alone platform is expected to generate 350,000  barrels of oil per day when completed.  Working with multiple contractors on this multi- billion dollar project, Powell is providing design,  planning, scheduling, cost control and project  management services, while supplying a key  portion of the electrical distribution equipment,  manufactured in our US and Canadian  facilities. Our role as a master integrator  reduced the number of interfaces and risk for  the client — and accelerated the schedule,  reducing time to first oil. Master Integrator for an Energy Giant 11
