$15M
Industry benchmark · Service line 04 · Risk

A single serious arc-flash incident averages $15M in medical, legal, and production loss.

Published analysis of insurance-claim data finds serious arc-flash events routinely generate $8M–$25M in total cost between hospitalization, OSHA penalties, lost production, and wrongful-death litigation — before factoring in reputational damage. A current IEEE 1584-2018 study is the cheapest insurance a facility can carry.

What we deliver

A complete service, not a deliverable list

We pair senior engineers with field-experienced technicians — every project is staffed to match the specific problem, not the billable hour.

Field Data Collection

Our engineers walk your facility — every transformer, breaker, MCC, and panel gets captured in structured field sheets.

IEEE 1584-2018 Modeling

Short-circuit, coordination, and arc flash calculations in SKM Power*Tools or ETAP — your choice.

Labeling & Documentation

ANSI Z535.4 labels printed and installed, incident energy tables, boundary calculations, PPE category recommendations.

NFPA 70E Training

On-site electrical safety training for qualified and unqualified workers — including live demos and refresher programs.

Re-Study Programs

Triennial re-studies per NFPA 70E 130.5 — we track your schedule so you don't have to.

Mitigation Engineering

When incident energy is too high, we engineer solutions — arc-resistant switchgear, remote racking, optical arc sensors.

Capabilities

Depth where it matters

Rev1 Energy's arc flash assessments & training practice is staffed by engineers and technicians with real industry experience — not generalists. We know what "good" looks like because we've built, tested, and energized it hundreds of times.

How we partner

We speak to every level of your organization

Boardroom to field — each tier of your team has a different question, a different risk, and a different definition of success. Here's how Rev1 delivers value at each one.

Executive Leadership

C-Suite · VP Engineering · VP HSE · Operations Leaders

Predictable outcomes. Board-defensible documentation. Portfolio-wide partners they can stake a reputation on.

What Rev1 delivers

Program-level accountability — single point of ownership across portfolio, audit-ready records, executive read-outs, insurance and regulator defensibility.

Directors & Program Managers

Construction · Commissioning · Safety · Engineering Directors

On-time, on-budget delivery across multiple projects — without becoming the single point of failure.

What Rev1 delivers

Scalable capacity with one playbook — TrackerCheck-driven progress and completions, Oracle AWP-native workflows, repeatable deliverables every crew uses the same way.

Engineers & Technical Influencers

PE gatekeepers · Lead Engineers · Commissioning Managers

Methodology they can audit. Standards they respect. Tools and templates that match the way they already work.

What Rev1 delivers

PE-stamped models and traceable calcs — IEEE 1584-2018, NFPA 70E, ANSI/NETA ATS-2025; SKM and ETAP native; every assumption documented and defendable.

Field Teams & End Users

Foremen · Electricians · Technicians · Operators

Clean labels. Working tools. A foreman on site who's turned wrenches — not just drawn lines.

What Rev1 delivers

Crews who have done this before — NETA III/IV technicians, journeyman foremen on site, mobile-first TrackerCheck that works offline, punch lists closed in hours not weeks.

2,400-bus arc flash study at a Gulf Coast refinery

Rev1 Energy completed a full arc flash hazard analysis on a Gulf Coast refinery covering 2,400+ buses across 15 electrical rooms. Findings drove a capital upgrade plan that reduced PPE Category 4 locations by 68%.
