Electrical Systems Built for Public Infrastructure

Comprehensive electrical services for water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, and municipal sites in Des Moines.

Municipal facilities in Des Moines operate around the clock and rely on electrical systems that cannot fail without affecting public health, safety, or service delivery. Water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, and pump stations require power distribution systems that support motors, control panels, instrumentation, and backup generators while meeting strict code and safety standards. These environments demand electricians who understand how to work around live processes, coordinate with operators, and install systems that will run for decades.

Jenson Electric, LLC. provides electrical design, installation, and maintenance for municipal infrastructure projects throughout Des Moines. This includes power distribution for treatment equipment, control wiring for SCADA systems, site lighting, utility connections, and backup power installations that keep critical processes running during outages. We work directly with city planners, engineers, and contractors to complete projects on schedule while maintaining safety and compliance with applicable codes.

If your municipality in Des Moines is planning infrastructure upgrades or needs electrical support for treatment facilities, get in touch to discuss your project.

Installing Electrical Systems in Operating Treatment Facilities

Your project begins with a review of the facility layout, existing electrical infrastructure, and the loads that need to be served in Des Moines. We coordinate with plant operators to identify which systems can be taken offline, when shutdowns can occur, and how to route new conduit and wiring without disrupting treatment processes. Power cables are pulled through underground duct banks or overhead raceways, panels are mounted in accessible locations, and motor control centers are wired to match the sequence of operations for pumps, blowers, and chemical feed systems.

Once the installation is complete, you gain reliable power to all treatment equipment, backup systems that activate automatically during utility failures, and control wiring that integrates with your existing monitoring and automation systems. Site lighting improves safety for operators working at night, and all electrical work is tested and inspected to meet municipal and state requirements.

We also provide preventative maintenance programs and emergency service for facilities that cannot afford downtime. This includes inspecting connections, testing backup generators, replacing worn components, and responding to failures that occur outside normal business hours. Our work does not include process engineering, equipment procurement, or software programming for control systems.

What Facility Managers Usually Ask Before We Start

Municipal clients and engineers typically want to know how we handle coordination, what happens during outages, and how electrical work integrates with existing treatment processes.

What types of municipal projects do you handle?
We work on water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, lift stations, and municipal buildings that require power distribution, control wiring, site lighting, and backup power systems. Most of our projects involve upgrading or expanding electrical infrastructure in facilities that must remain operational during construction.
How do you coordinate electrical work with ongoing plant operations?
We meet with plant operators to schedule shutdowns during low-demand periods, isolate systems that can be worked on without affecting treatment, and phase installations so critical equipment stays online. All work is planned around your operational needs and safety protocols.
What happens if a pump or motor fails after installation?
We test all motor connections, control circuits, and protective devices before energizing new systems, and we provide warranty support for the electrical work we complete. If a failure occurs, we respond quickly to troubleshoot and restore service, especially in facilities where downtime affects public services.
Can you install backup power systems for critical equipment?
Yes, we install automatic transfer switches, backup generators, and uninterruptible power supplies that keep pumps, blowers, and control systems running during utility outages. These systems are sized to match your critical loads and tested to verify they activate correctly when needed.
How do you ensure code compliance for public infrastructure?
We follow National Electrical Code requirements, state and local amendments, and any additional standards set by engineers or municipal authorities. All installations are inspected and documented to meet the compliance standards required for publicly funded projects.
