Balcan Plastics Building Renovation

PROJECTS

This was a complicated industrial renovation and buildout, involving a unique client with equipment coming from different countries and an existing electrical service that we needed to modify to accommodate all that equipment. Information details were slow coming in from the equipment suppliers, however Roman helped guide the discussion and was diligent about following through to get the answers they needed so at the end of the project everything functioned perfectly. They earned my respect by the end of that project – which is tough to earn.

Balcan Plastics Building Renovation

The Balcan Plastics Building Renovation project involved a significant upgrade of an existing facility to support the integration of new and advanced manufacturing equipment. Roman Electric was tasked with the critical role of updating the building’s electrical infrastructure to accommodate Balcan Plastics’ enhanced operational capabilities, ensuring the facility was equipped to handle increased production demands efficiently.

Challenge

Roman Electric faced considerable challenges during this renovation: firstly, modifying the existing electrical systems to adapt to reconfigured building spaces, which required a deep understanding of the building’s current electrical layout and capabilities. Secondly, they needed to upgrade the electrical distribution system to provide various voltages necessary for the owner’s new manufacturing equipment, necessitating precise and safe adjustments to the existing infrastructure.

Solution

Roman Electric successfully navigated these challenges through strategic planning and execution. Leveraging their in-depth knowledge of the building’s original electrical design and working closely with vendors, Roman devised a code-compliant and cost-effective solution to modify the electrical systems according to the new spatial configurations. Their early involvement in the building design process provided them with crucial insights into the requirements for the new equipment, enabling them to anticipate and plan the necessary electrical design modifications effectively. This proactive approach ensured a seamless integration of varied voltage requirements for the manufacturing processes, positioning Balcan Plastics for future scalability and operational efficiency.
