When safety and reliability come first, Switchgear Maintenance Services (SMS) can be your NFPA 70E and NFPA 70B compliance team. SMS is a leading electrical testing company specializing in the testing of new and in-service electrical equipment. They take pride in being a cost-effective company while providing excellent services—all using the most up-to-date standards and techniques.
COO David Antkowiak says, “Our goal at Switchgear Maintenance Services is to partner with our clients to make their projects a success. Whether you are a college campus, electrical contractor, industrial facility, or engineering firm, we are here to meet your needs. The electrical industry is vast, and contractors can find themselves in unfamiliar areas where they need assistance. SMS stands ready to team up with clients on projects where someone familiar with the ins and outs of the procedures and techniques for the installation of medium-voltage equipment and cable is needed. SMS offers consultation and its team of trained personnel, providing clients with the comfort of knowing the installation is correct and safe.”
Switchgear Maintenance Services offers a variety of services, including acceptance testing of electrical equipment to NETA, IEEE, and ANSI standards; NFPA 70B maintenance; power breaker services and power studies; testing and commissioning of protective relays; infrared imaging and ultrasonic detection; medium-voltage cable work, and more.
“I began as a NETA technician without much knowledge of the overall organization,” says Antkowiak. “Our company participated in several NETA events, where we met others who shared our curiosity and dedication to learning all we can about testing and the electrical industry,” he explains. “The organization felt like an open and inviting place to ask questions and speak with top industry experts who will give you answers. I believe most people find this career truly rewarding, and NETA is paving the way with commitment to education and safety. SMS is proud to have become a NETA Accredited Company. We hope to help in any way we can to help this industry flourish.”
“NETA recognizes the hard work it takes for new NETA Accredited Companies like Switchgear Maintenance Services to achieve this important milestone,” says Dan Hook, President of CBS Field Services and current NETA President. “NETA Accredited Companies play a critical role in securing electrical power system safety and reliability for all, and NETA is a stronger organization because of SMS’s dedication to our industry.”
