Fast-Track ATS System for Milton Caterpillar

Client

Milton Caterpillar

Project Overview

Milton Caterpillar approached Spike Electric after learning about our capabilities at a temporary power industry conference. They had an urgent need for a 1200A dual-breaker Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) system after their previous vendor quoted a 15–18 week lead time, putting their project schedule at risk.

Spike Electric quickly developed a solution, providing complete engineering, design drawings, and fabrication of the ATS system. By leveraging our in-house expertise and project coordination, we reduced the delivery timeline to just seven weeks.

Our expedited turnaround allowed Milton Caterpillar to maintain its construction schedule, meet customer requirements, and proceed with commissioning without delay.

This project highlights Spike Electric's ability to deliver critical power solutions under demanding timelines while maintaining quality and reliability.

Key Outcomes / Success Points

• Delivered the 1200A dual-breaker ATS system in just 7 weeks, significantly
  outperforming the original 15–18 week lead time.
• Successfully completed Spike Electric's first project with Milton Caterpillar, establishing a strong foundation for a new client relationship.
• Designed and fabricated a custom-engineered copper distribution solution
  tailored to the project's outgoing power requirements.
• Enabled the client to maintain its construction schedule and meet critical
  customer commissioning deadlines.
• Demonstrated Spike Electric's ability to rapidly engineer, fabricate, and deliver complex power distribution equipment without compromising quality.

Notable Challenges Solved by Spike:

• Overcame a critical scheduling challenge by reducing the expected equipment delivery timeline by more than 50%.
• Provided a fully engineered custom ATS solution capable of meeting the client's specific power distribution requirements.
• Coordinated engineering, design, and fabrication efforts under an accelerated
  schedule to support the client's project milestones.
• Helped prevent construction delays and potential impacts to the client's end
  customer commissioning schedule.
