Projects

• InterBuild Ltd. has been transitioning to a new headquarters throughout 2023 and 2024, with the new location set at 36 Simpson Rd, Bolton. The project has been allocated a budget of approximately $400,000.
• The scope of the electrical and infrastructure work includes the following key upgrades and installations:

• Removal of the existing electrical service, which was rated at 480 volts and 1,200 amps, to make way for a new 800 amp, 600 volts disconnect switch and an 800 amp splitter busbar system.
• The newly installed 800 amp splitter busbar will support a total of five industrial machines, comprising one relocated and four new machines. The relocated machine was previously connected via a 400 amp, 600 volt disconnect.
• In the warehouse, which is divided into two electrical service areas—400 amps and 800 amps—there will be a newly installed 200 amp, 600 volt disconnect switch. This switch will feed a 200 amp, 600 volt splitter busbar that powers eight motorized welders and two 5-ton cranes.
• An additional 200 amp, 600 volt disconnect, sourced from the same 400 amp service, will supply a separate 200 amp, 600 volt splitter. This will power six metal forming machines requiring dual voltage (230 volts and 400 volts), facilitated through two stepdown transformers. Each machine will have its own disconnect and be wired with Teck90 cable.
• Installation of a plasma cutter, operating at 208 volts and 50 amps.
• Comprehensive renovations to the office space, including updates to lighting fixtures and electrical setups for cubicles.

This comprehensive update will ensure that the new headquarters not only meets modern electrical standards but also supports enhanced operational efficiency with upgraded machinery and facilities.
