Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) retrofitted an existing speculative building by installing a second electrical service and designing a dedicated power distribution system to split the space for two tenants.
The work re‑fed all lighting circuits onto Vertiv’s new meter, sized and installed indoor/outdoor lighting, high‑voltage production outlets, office receptacles, motorized dock doors, and dock levelers, and coordinated with Prince Engineering to power HVAC units without interfering with ductwork.
The result is a fully segregated, code‑compliant electrical infrastructure that allows each tenant to monitor and bill its own consumption, improves system reliability, and supports future expansion.

Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) partnered with the Tohono O’odham Utility Authority (TOUA) to modernize utility operations across 4,400 square miles of rural service area.
By implementing ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123, and GNSS-enabled data collection, TOUA moved from paper-based records to a fully digitalized asset management system—tripling data capture efficiency and enabling real-time decision-making.
The new dashboard tools also improved communication between field crews and office staff, enhancing service reliability for more than 3,000 customers. Read the full case study from Esri here.
Since 2007, Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) has partnered with FTC South Carolina, one of the nation’s largest telecommunications cooperatives, delivering reliable fiber broadband solutions across their expansive service territory.
Over the years, PEC has designed and managed more than 2,000 miles of fiber infrastructure for FTC.
PEC has also provided critical support in construction contracting, vendor vetting, and pre-construction services, helping FTC navigate the many challenges associated with large-scale fiber deployments.
The Northern Cheyenne Central Office & Tier-4 Data Center Project, designed by Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC), is a state-of-the-art telecommunications hub to support the tribal nation’s growing broadband needs while ensuring reliability and security. The new facility will house a 500-square-foot, fault-tolerant data center built to Tier-4 standards, providing 99.995% uptime, along with dedicated operations, mechanical, and customer-service spaces.
Designed to withstand local weather extremes, including fire, lightning, snow, and high winds, the facility will also meet ADA requirements and incorporate robust cybersecurity measures. These features are intended to provide a resilient and secure environment for the telecommunications infrastructure supporting the Northern Cheyenne Nation.
Funded through the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, the project will construct and equip the central office with the necessary telecommunications hardware to expand high-speed broadband access for current and future members of the Northern Cheyenne Nation. Read the full press release here.
Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) designed and is providing construction inspection services for a large-scale fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network across the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Funded through the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, the project will expand reliable, high-speed internet access to approximately 1,730 households throughout the tribal community.
The network includes a planned 60-mile middle-mile transport route and fiber infrastructure designed to support symmetrical speeds of up to 10 Gbps. Through engineering design and ongoing construction inspection, PEC is helping ensure the fiber build-out meets project requirements and supports the long-term connectivity needs of the Northern Cheyenne Nation.
By expanding access to high-speed broadband, the project will help create new opportunities for education, healthcare, public safety, and economic development while strengthening connectivity across the reservation. Read the full press release here.
Palmetto Engineering & Consulting (PEC) partnered with Tennessee Valley Network (TVN) to bring world-class broadband to Dade County, GA.
Over three years, our team engineered more than 60 miles, and counting, of new optical fiber, retired the last copper connections, modernized records with a fiber management system, and provided ongoing engineering support.
The result: a fully modernized network that delivers fast, reliable service and positions TVN as the leading broadband provider in the region.
