Schneider Electric - Thunder Bay Hospital

ESAC has expanded to offer services that suit the needs of institution based organizations.  The Thunder Bay Hospital project is a prime example of how ESAC's skills can be directed towards the needs of a client.  The hospital required an Electrical Monitoring System (EMS) to consolidate data from various switches, switchboards, unit substations, transformers and emergency generators.  Reliability is critical in a system where power directly affects the well being of hospital patients.  ESAC systems are capable of delivering when it really matters.
