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.
