Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Consultants in Saskatoon
Furano Pacific Consulting is licensed to practise in Saskatchewan and serves clients across the province from Saskatoon.
We are a small firm by design. The engineer who scopes your project is the engineer who does the work and seals the drawings.
What we do in Saskatchewan, and our project experience
Power system studies — arc flash, protection coordination, short circuit and load flow analysis to CSA Z462 and IEEE 1584, for potash and mining infrastructure, agri-processing, institutional and commercial facilities.
Building systems design — fire alarm, lighting, power distribution and electrical service design under the Canadian Electrical Code and the National Building Code as adopted in Saskatchewan.
Utility interconnection — service connections, load additions and generation interconnection with SaskPower, and with Saskatoon Light and Power inside the city.
Forensic engineering and loss consulting for insurers, adjusters and counsel.
Saskatchewan project experience
Electrical engineering for modular pump houses and a substation at the BHP Jansen potash project, covering power distribution, controls and utility interconnection for a prefabricated E-House and booster pump stations.
Work of that kind is the core of our Saskatchewan practice: medium-voltage distribution, modular equipment delivered to a construction schedule, and long-lived assets that need to be safe to work on for decades.
Saskatoon Light and Power
If your site is inside the City of Saskatoon, your distribution utility is Saskatoon Light and Power, not SaskPower. It operates its own distribution system and publishes its own interconnection guideline and service requirements.
Submissions prepared against SaskPower's requirements for a site inside the city get sent back. It is a small point that costs real schedule.
Areas served
Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Yorkton, North Battleford, Estevan, and industrial sites across Saskatchewan.
Common questions
Are you licensed in Saskatchewan? Yes. Furano Pacific Consulting holds an active Saskatchewan licence and an APEGS permit to practise, alongside active licences in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
Do you travel to industrial sites outside Saskatoon? Regularly. Our Saskatchewan work includes modular pump house and substation electrical design at BHP Jansen, and industrial and processing sites across the province. Travel is scoped and priced up front.
Which utility applies to my site? Inside the City of Saskatoon, Saskatoon Light and Power, which operates its own distribution system and publishes its own interconnection guideline and service requirements. Elsewhere in the province, SaskPower. Submissions prepared against the wrong one get sent back, which is a small point that costs real schedule.
What does a power system study cost? It depends on the number of distribution points far more than on the size of the service. Tell us the service size, the approximate number of panels and MCCs and the province, and we will come back with a scope and a fee range rather than a placeholder number.
