Located on the banks of the Kennebec River, Bath Iron Works is a full-service shipyard, specializing in the design, building and support of complex surface craft for the U.S. Navy.  Part of a larger expansion of the shipyard, the new 65,000 s/f facility is utilized to blast and paint ship parts for Navy vessels. 

The Griffin Electric team was responsible for the installation of a primary electric substation, and the secondary service for this project.  Main distribution and service included two 4000A, 244/480v, 3-phase switchboards.  Griffin also provided a complete lighting system, including emergency lighting, as well as a tele/data system and complete fire alarm system, which were integrated into the existing on-site systems.

General contractor PC Construction worked with architect/electrical engineer, Colby Co. Engineering.

“Maintaining a tradition of providing safe, reliable electrical installation work is a philosophy we support while working on all types of projects,” said Wayne Griffin, president of Griffin Electric.  “We are proud to share our practices and services with each of our clients, through new or repeat business.”
