Utilities can only put in service what they can trust — and what they can document. Southern Switch & Contacts is prequalified on the contractor-safety platforms utilities rely on. Here’s how we keep both sides covered.
Working inside an energized substation leaves no room for shortcuts. Our crews follow utility safety requirements and industry best practices on every job, and we keep our contractor-safety prequalification current with the platforms utilities rely on. Southern Switch & Contacts is an approved vendor for multiple utilities in both ISN (ISNetworld) and Avetta — so the compliance paperwork is already in place before we mobilize. Our Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.82 reflects a safety record better than the industry baseline of 1.0. That commitment extends to what we build: our patented UGOR gear operator was standardized by Florida Power & Light’s safety group as the only operator approved for all their switch installs and new station builds.
Every component we manufacture is machined to OEM dimensional specifications from the correct alloys. When a part has been discontinued by the original manufacturer, we reverse-engineer it from a sample or a drawing.
We’re glad to share documentation or answer prequalification questions — reach out and we’ll respond within one business day.
