Client: TurbineX
End Client: Leading Natural Gas Producer
Industry: Oil & Gas
Location: Wyoming, USA
Project Type: Design & Delivery of Custom Low-Voltage MCCs
Scope: Emergency Design | Fabrication | Testing & Delivery
TurbineX engaged Current Group on behalf of a major natural gas producer constructing a new gas plant in Western Canada. The client had initially ordered four low-voltage motor control centers (MCCs) from Schneider Electric, enduring an estimated ten-month lead time. Then, just two weeks before delivery, they were notified of an additional four-to-six-month delay.
This last-minute setback jeopardized the entire construction schedule. With commissioning deadlines approaching and no time for further delay, TurbineX needed a trusted partner capable of designing and delivering a fully customized MCC package on an accelerated timeline, without compromising quality or compliance.
Recognizing the urgency, Current Group mobilized immediately with a detailed proposal and a clear, execution-ready plan.
From Critical Delay to On-Time Delivery
Current Group committed to engineering, fabricating, and delivering 75 feet of custom low-voltage MCCs within just 10 weeks — a fraction of the typical industry turnaround.
The project scope included:
- 2 × 2000A, 600V MCCs
- 2 × 1600A, 600V MCCs
To achieve this, our team launched parallel work streams for engineering, procurement, and fabrication to ensure that every step advanced without delay.
Design-Build Approach
Our integrated design-build model gave us full control of the process, from initial engineering through testing and delivery, allowing us to meet the client’s urgent timeline with precision.
Execution highlights:
- Engineering & Design: Completed comprehensive custom electrical and mechanical designs to match plant specifications and utility standards.
- Strategic Procurement: Fast-tracked component sourcing from multiple suppliers, using air freight for critical parts to eliminate shipping delays.
- Fabrication & Assembly: Constructed all MCC sections in-house with a focus on quality, space optimization, and long-term reliability.
- Testing & QA: Conducted complete factory acceptance testing (FAT) and ensured compliance with all applicable standards.
Delivery: Successfully delivered all MCCs to site, meeting the client’s required timeframe and keeping construction on schedule.
Key Takeaways
The outcome demonstrated how disciplined coordination, in-house expertise, and precise execution can overcome even the most challenging timelines. Through seamless collaboration between engineering, procurement, and fabrication teams, Current Group transformed a critical supply chain setback into a success story, delivering a fully custom MCC package that met every performance, safety, and scheduling requirement under intense time constraints.
| Project Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Timeline | 4 custom MCCs (75 ft total) designed, built, and delivered in just 10 weeks |
| Project Continuity | Avoided a 4–6 month delay, keeping the gas plant construction on schedule |
| Quality | Met all electrical code and client specifications with precision fabrication and full QA testing |
| Client Satisfaction | Exceeded expectations in delivery speed, communication, and professionalism |
Why It Worked
Delivering four custom MCCs in just ten weeks required more than technical capability, it demanded complete operational alignment. Current Group’s success on this project came from a combination of in-house control, disciplined project management, and a client-first mindset. By managing every phase internally and maintaining constant communication with TurbineX, our team turned an impossible deadline into a coordinated achievement built on precision, accountability, and expertise.
- Full Process Control: With design, fabrication, and testing handled entirely in-house, there were no coordination bottlenecks.
- Focused Project Management: Engineering, procurement, and production teams worked in lockstep to meet each milestone.
- Client-Aligned Priorities: Every decision centered on TurbineX and their client’s top goals — speed, quality, and dependability.
