The companys product portfolio spans integrated power control room substations, custom-engineered modules, electrical houses, distribution switchgears (including arc-resistant designs), medium-voltage circuit breakers, monitoring and control communications systems, motor control centers, switches, and bus duct systems. It complements this equipment offering with a full lifecycle of field services, including installation, commissioning, inspection, modification, repair, spare parts, retrofit/retrofill components, and replacement circuit breakers.
Powell serves a diverse industrial customer base across onshore and offshore oil and gas production, LNG facilities and terminals, pipelines, refineries, petrochemicals, electric utilities, light rail traction power, mining and metals, pulp and paper, data centers, commercial construction, universities, and government entities. Operations span the United States, Canada, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Mexico, Asia/Pacific, and Central and South America.
