The objective of Gamboa Engineers is to provide a safe, economical and functional design; satisfying the customers needs on time and on budget. The firm has strong analysis and design capabilities with a broad range of experience and in-depth knowledge of construction and maintenance.

Gamboa Enginners provides responsive services in the following areas

■ Electrical Power, Instrumentation Automation Master Planning

Water treatment facilities requirements change so rapidly due to population growth and higher service demand that maintaining the facilities up to date with the service demand is challenging. Comprehensive Electrical Master Plans are a vital tool for solving these challenges.

The main objective of an Electrical Master Plan is to provide a clear view and long-term plan for the development of electrical infrastructure required to support the envisaged demand. Also evaluates the long-term viability of existing electrical infrastructure and proposes the expansion and refurbishment requirements thereof.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you with a facilities assessment and long range master planning of electrical and instrumentation systems.

■ Energy Generation with Solar Systems and/or Fuel Cells.

We offer design services for electrical interconnection of the solar panels systems to the facilities power distribution equipment, and coordination services to meet the requirements for the solar power system interconnection with Utility companies.

■ Continuous Cogeneration with Methane or Natural Gas Engines.

There has been much increased focus lately on sustainability, carbon footprint, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy efficiency. For water/wastewater treatment plants the easiest choice to make an immediate impact on all of these issues is to capture and maximize the generation and usage of methane gas. produced by the anaerobic digesters or adjacent landfileds.

To better utilize the methen gas, the gas may be used to produce electricity in a cogeneration process. Along with efficient use of the gas for energy. Cogeneration technology options include engine generators, gas turbines, and fuel cells.

■ Medium Voltage and Low Voltage Design

■ Stanby Power Generation with Diesel Fuel Engines

Our experience with power systems covers both low voltage and high voltage distribution. We focus upon designs using sound engineering principles to provide safe and robust solutions.

All of our designs consider safety, reliabilty, reasonable cost, energy efficiency and sustainability.

■ Power Systems Reliability Studies

■ Energy Conservation Studies and Energy Audits

Risk analysis and reliability studies are essential tools in designing continuous process plant power systems. Our power system reliability study provides the information necessary to upgrade and maintain your power delivery infrastructure.

We conduct a thorough assessment of your system’s design to identify points of failure within your system. Once we have completed the assesment, we provide recommendations on how to improve your system design.

■ Energy Monitoring and Energy Management Systems.

Measuring and Monitoring energy consumption is key to understand how your system is working.

■ Arc Flash Studies, Power Studies and TCC Settings

Section 110.16 of the 2008 National Electrical Code and NFPA 70E requires that electrical equipment be marked to warn qualified personnel of potential arc flash hazards. In order to identify the specific arc flash hazard at a given piece of equipment within a facility, an arc flash study must be performed.

We provide comprehensive engineering studies taht include full, on-site evaluation, modeling, one-line drawing, fault current and coordination studies.
