Why Large Corporations Need More Than Just Any Arc Flash Contractor: Shermco’s Comprehensive Expertise
When it comes to arc flash studies, not all providers are the same. For large corporations managing hundreds – or even thousands – of facilities, the stakes are high. Ensuring compliance, safety, and reliability across a vast network of sites requires more than just a company who can perform the studies. It demands a partner with the expertise, resources, and scalability to deliver not only the analysis, but also the solutions. That’s where Shermco stands out.
Beyond the Basics: A Full-Service Arc Flash Partner
Many contractors can perform arc flash studies, but less have the capabilities to go beyond the study. We are different. With over 50 years of experience, a team of 200+ electrical engineers and 600+ NETA technicians, Shermco doesn’t just identify risks – we solve them.
When an arc flash study reveals dangerous levels of incident energy, Shermco provides actionable recommendations to mitigate those risks. While others may stop here, Shermco continues to support the next level. Through our in-house engineering and field service teams, we can design and manage equipment replacements and existing equipment retrofits to improve safety at client facilities. This end-to-end capability eliminates the need for clients to juggle multiple vendors, streamlining the process and ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
The Scale to Support Large Corporate Clients
For large corporations with extensive facility networks, scalability is critical. Shermco’s nationwide presence, with engineers and field staff strategically located across the United States, allows us to service even the most geographically dispersed clients. This means faster response times, reduced travel costs, and the ability to deploy resources where they’re needed most.
Take, for example, our partnership with a leading global e-commerce company. Since 2023, Shermco has conducted arc flash studies across more than 80 facilities annually, with the program expanding each year. In 2025, we are set to service 120+ sites, demonstrating our ability to handle large-scale, multi-site programs with ease. Few providers offer this combination of scale and specialization.
Specialized Expertise in Electrical Engineering
Another key differentiator is our focused expertise. While many firms cover a broad range of engineering disciplines, Shermco is dedicated exclusively to electrical power systems, with engineers experienced in electrical analysis, protection, controls, and system safety. This ensures every arc flash study is performed by professionals with deep technical knowledge, delivering the highest level of accuracy and insight.
Shermco’s expertise extends well beyond the study deliverables. Our engineering and field teams work seamlessly to execute complex retrofits and upgrades, providing clients with practical, cost-effective options to reduce incident energy levels and improve system safety. This integrated approach delivers a level of technical insight and hands-on capability that clients consistently rely on.
Tailored Solutions for Corporate Clients
Large corporate clients need more than just technical expertise – they need a partner who understands their unique challenges. Shermco delivers a seamless experience, offering a single point of contact for all project coordination. Despite the scale of its operations, Shermco ensures that all deliverables are consistent, customized, and aligned with each client’s specific requirements.
For companies with recurring compliance needs, such as those requiring arc flash studies every five years, Shermco’s ability to manage long-term programs is invaluable. Our capacity to handle hundreds of sites annually makes us the ideal partner for large-scale, multi-year initiatives.
Why Shermco Stands Out
In an industry where numerous providers meet the qualifications for arc flash studies, Shermco sets itself apart by offering a comprehensive, full-service solution. Our combination of specialized expertise, nationwide scalability, and end-to-end capabilities makes us uniquely qualified to support large corporate clients. From identifying risks to implementing solutions, Shermco is the partner you can trust to keep your facilities safe, compliant, and reliable.
