Prefabrication

Prefabrication in electrical construction is crucial due to its significant advantages over traditional on-site construction methods.

Price Electric’s Prefabrication division provides a secure environment for assembling redundant and advanced electrical components in a controlled setting.

Once the components are assembled, they are transported to the construction site and integrated into the overall building structure.

Price Electric’s commitment to innovation in electrical construction is evident in our Prefabrication division.

The prefabrication warehouse at our Robin’s Iowa location offers a safe environment for the assembly of components, resulting in higher quality, less job-site waste, expedited construction schedules, uniform installation, streamlined projects, and maximized efficiency.

Duct Bank Cages and Underground Conduit

Prefabrication in electrical construction starts with the design and planning phase.

Our VCS design team creates detailed plans and specifications for prefabricating components.

The assembly takes place at Price Electric in our Prefabrication warehouse, which provides greater control over the process and ensures that each element is built to exact specifications and meets the highest quality standards.

Price Electric then transports the assemblies to the construction site for integration into the overall structure.

Price Electric assembles duct bank cages and installs specific underground conduits.

The assemblies are then shipped to the site for accelerated underground installation.

The traditional method is time-consuming for specific applications, like ventilation work, which requires closing the street to lay underground conductors.

It is also inconvenient because it necessitates working in shifts, on weekends, and at night.

Utilizing pre-assembled conduit banks for installations not only enhances reliability but also significantly boosts efficiency, thereby reducing the duration of street closures.

Prefabricated Assemblies

Electrical construction covers various frameworks, from switching and power device assemblies to branch-circuit wiring and pre-wired boards.

These permit the contractual worker to manufacture raceways, metal-clad cables, wire packaging, panel boards, and transformer congregations.

Indeed, even raceway support assemblies, duct bank assemblies, and structural steel assemblies may be prefabricated.Prefabricated Lighting

This involves assembling and refurbishing the lighting fixtures at the electrical contractor’s workshop for quick and easy installation on-site.

Previous fabrication tasks included pre-wiring and adding sensors, whips, and mountings. Electrical prefabrication provides significant control over the lighting products and streamlines the installation process at project sites.

Advanced Conduit Assemblies

Whether it’s standard stub-outs or advanced electrical room conduit assemblies, Price Electric’s Prefabrication Department can build these advanced assemblies in a controlled environment.

We deliver them to the job site exactly when the installation is needed.

Prefabricated Underground Skid

Underground skids involve constructing an entire structure off-site at our prefabrication shop and transporting the complete assembly to its intended location as a single unit.

The Price Electric team is loading up this Underground Skid for a project.

Prefabricated Under Slab Conduits

Price Electric builds electrical under slab conduits that are used to protect and house electrical wiring within a concrete slab.

The Price Electric crew installed these under-slab conduits in an administration building at a wastewater treatment plant.
