Electrical, SCADA & Controls

Reliable, Community-Focused Systems That Keep Critical Infrastructure Running

Every community relies on safe drinking water, dependable wastewater treatment, and resilient utility operations. Behind these essential services are electrical power, control, and automation systems that must operate safely and reliably every hour of every day. RH2 designs these systems with a focus on public safety, operator needs, and long-term performance, supporting the infrastructure that protects public health and keeps communities running. Our team takes pride in building systems that directly support the health and well-being of the communities we serve.

Electrical Engineering Expertise

Electrical engineering is a core service at RH2. Our electrical team designs the power and control infrastructure that supports water, wastewater, and municipal facilities of all sizes. From small pump stations to complex treatment facilities, we deliver practical and effective system designs that prioritize safety, constructability, and long-term reliability.

Our services include complete electrical system design, such as:

Power distribution and system coordination.
Motor control centers and variable frequency drive design.
Instrumentation selection and design.
Comprehensive grounding system design.
Control panel design tailored to operator needs and site conditions.
Standby and emergency power systems, including generators and transfer switches.

Safety, Arc Flash & Operational Reliability

Safety is foundational to our electrical designs. RH2 performs arc flash analysis, short-circuit studies, and protective device coordination studies to help protect personnel, comply with safety regulations, and operate with confidence. Our engineers provide equipment labeling, and recommend maintenance practices and operational workflows to reduce risk and improve day-to-day usability.

Construction-Phase Support

RH2’s electrical engineers remain actively involved during construction. We support bidding, shop drawing and equipment submittal review, coordination with contractors and utilities, and field observation to help systems be installed as intended. Involving our design engineers in this phase helps reduce surprises, supports safe construction practices, and helps projects move smoothly from design, through commissioning and into operation.

For our electrical team, this work offers exposure to a wide range of facilities, equipment, and real-world construction challenges, supported by experienced mentors who emphasize sound engineering judgment and practical solutions.

SCADA & Controls Engineering, Implementation & Support

We design SCADA and control system architectures that give operators clear, actionable information and reliable automation. Our engineers plan PLC and HMI architectures, communication networks, and system standards that support efficient operations, minimize nuisance alarms, and allow systems to grow over time.

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Control Systems NW (CSNW), this work extends seamlessly into implementation and long-term support. CSNW provides hands-on expertise in:

Power distribution and system coordination.
Motor control centers and variable frequency drive design.
Instrumentation selection and design.
Comprehensive grounding system design.
Control panel design tailored to operator needs and site conditions.
Standby and emergency power systems, including generators and transfer switches.

CSNW works extensively with industry-standard platforms such as Ignition, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, FactoryTalk, and Wonderware/AVEVA, while remaining flexible to support client-preferred technologies.

Together, RH2 and CSNW offer a unified, full life-cycle approach, from electrical and SCADA design through construction, startup, and ongoing support, giving clients a single, trusted team that understands their systems inside and out.

A Unified Approach, Built Around Client Needs, Growth & Collaboration

Our electrical, SCADA, and controls teams collaborate closely across disciplines and offices, integrating with civil, structural, and environmental staff to deliver cohesive solutions. This approach helps clients reduce risk and complexity, while giving team members the opportunity to work on meaningful projects that directly support community health and safety.
