Projects
WEC can manage these large scale integrated control system projects through all phases of design/build construction including site survey, existing condition report, engineering design, equipment selection, submittals, installation, training, testing, acceptance commissioning, warranty support, and continuing maintenance. All of the control system projects that WEC installs require similar types of work including the installation of several different types of digital and analog sensors and control devices; programmable field panels; data communications via fiber-optic, wire-line, coax, or radios; single or redundant central master computers; multiple network operator workstations; database entry of points, displays, and alarm conditions; software for scanning, alarming, displaying, and reporting data point values from the field panels; application software specific to the type of control system; rigorous testing of the entire system including factory, field, performance verification, and endurance testing; and training of the operators and system managers. WEC has installed over 100,000 digital and analog monitor and control points connecting through over 2,000 remote microprocessor control panels being monitored and controlled by master control computers at over 40 facilities across the United States.
Electronic Security Systems (ESS) Projects
WEC has installed electronic security systems, intrusion detection systems, and card entry systems from several different system suppliers. WEC is an authorized installer of security systems from Software House, MDI, Andover Controls, and
Radiances, but we have also installed systems from Lenel as well. .
WEC has installed CCTV systems including cameras, monitors, tape and digital video recorders, video matrix switchers, and associated cables. Usually, these systems are interfaced to a security system to switch cameras for operator viewing based on intrusion or other alarms generated by the security system. WEC is an authorized installer for American Dynamics, Ultrak, and Samsung, but we have installed CCTV cameras and devices from Pelco, Phillips, and Panasonic.
Supervisory control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) SystemsWEC is an authorized dealer for Telvent SCADA systems and has established a US Government GSA contract for equipment and labor associated with installation of Telvent components. WEC installed a very large 30,000 point electrical distribution SCADA for the US Navy at San Diego, California. WEC has installed SCADA control systems provided by other system suppliers including Advanced Control Systems, Intellution and programmable logic controllers from Allen-Bradley. These systems are used for managing electrical power distribution; controlling water treatment, distribution, wells, and tank levels; sewage lift stations; and pressurized air distribution.

Energy and Utility Monitor and Control System Projects |
Since 1980, WEC has installed large, complex, monitoring and control systems. These include Energy Monitoring and Control System (EMCS) and Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS).
WEC is an authorized Building Controls Installer of the Honeywell Excell 5000 devices. WEC installs multi-vender integrated EMCS/UMCS systems with Honeywell field components and Tridium central master control computers with LonWorks and BACnet protocols. WEC is also an authorized dealer for TAC LonWorks building automation systems.
WEC designed, developed, manufactured, and installed hardware and software for its own EMCS/UMCS system that met the US Army Corps of Engineers EMCS Guide Specifications for such systems at military bases during the 1980s and 1990s.

Building Systems Projects |
WEC has installed fire alarm systems, sound and public-address systems, intercom systems, and nurse call systems from a variety of manufacturers. Communication Projects On the security and control system projects, WEC has installed wire-line, coaxial, and fiber-optic cables, modems, multiplexers, repeaters, hubs, and radios for computer data communication, network, and instrumentation links. Electrical Projects WEC has performed on electrical projects for building electrical wiring, lightning protection, runway lighting, primary and secondary power distribution, substations, switch gear, transformers, uninterruptible power systems, and diesel and turbine generators. We have installed power, process control, instrumentation, and communication wiring. These electrical projects have included large buildings, high-rise condominiums, schools, hospitals, banks, supermarkets, prisons, airports, barracks, dormitories, sewer treatment plants, water treatment plants, co-generation plants, fuel storage facilities, and test facilities.
