The Situation

An arc flash in a condominium electrical room, caused by degraded power conductors, led to fire and sprinkler activation. Electrical equipment and two elevators were damaged by heat, water, explosion force, and smoke.

Equipment Impacted

  • Electrical Panels
  • Transformers
  • Switchgear / Switchboard
  • Elevators
  • Lighting
  • HVAC Systems
  • Pool Equipment
  • Building

Value-Driven Solutions

Severe Electrical Damage

The building could not be re-energized due to extensive damage to all electrical feeds and control panels.

Temporary Power Solutions

Rental generators were brought in to support elevator inspections, temporary repairs, and air conditioning.

OEM Assessment

The OEM confirmed the switchboard and switchgear were repairable and did not require replacement.

Cost Allocation Challenges

Vendors had to provide itemized, detailed cost breakdowns by location and damage type. Vague or generic descriptions were rejected.

The Results

ILC evaluated over $1M in equipment damage, which was due to power surge, mechanical explosion force, fire, water and heat. Everything in the electrical room was a total loss and had to be repaired or replaced.
