Arc flashes are one of the most dangerous electrical hazards in industrial environments. Each day, they result in one to two fatalities and injure five to ten more workers. Over 80% of electrical injuries come from arc flash-related burns, often caused by clothing igniting during the blast.
That’s why our team at Bowtie Engineering provides arc flash study services that go beyond compliance. Our process doesn’t just meet safety standards. It helps prevent future incidents, improves maintenance protocols, and builds a culture of confidence across your team.
If your current electrical safety program isn’t thorough, up-to-date, or properly implemented, it could be putting people and property at risk. That’s where we come in.
Bowtie’s arc flash analysis services follow a six-step, standardized process aligned with NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910, and IEEE 1584 standards. Each study is tailored to your facility’s systems and risks. Our NFPA 70E-qualified engineers deliver:
Our studies are designed for industrial teams, manufacturers, and critical facilities where arc flash evaluation is essential to safety and uptime. With every project, we prioritize clear reporting, expert insights, and actionable steps, not just paperwork.
Bowtie’s arc flash study services offer more than just hazard analysis. They provide long-term value for your safety program, risk mitigation strategy, and bottom line.
Our team brings licensed PEs, certified safety professionals, and hands-on experience into every engagement, so your study isn’t just compliant, it’s clear, reliable, and actionable.
Arc flash study cost depends on the size, complexity, and age of your facility’s electrical infrastructure. Most projects range from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on scope. For a detailed quote based on your facility’s layout and risk profile, get in touch with our team.
An arc flash study is required whenever a facility has electrical equipment that could be serviced or maintained while energized. NFPA 70E recommends updating studies every 5 years, or whenever system changes occur. Reach out to us to check if your current documentation is still compliant.
A complete arc flash study includes system modeling, incident energy calculations, arc flash labeling, PPE recommendations, and compliance-ready documentation. At Bowtie, we also flag maintenance gaps and provide training support. Contact us to walk through our step-by-step process.
Most arc flash studies take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your facility. Timelines include data collection, field verification, modeling, and report delivery. Get in touch and we’ll provide a timeline specific to your site.
Not always. In most cases, our team can collect data and complete your arc flash hazard study without interrupting operations. We work around your schedule to avoid downtime. Reach out to plan a site visit that fits your needs.
We’ve completed arc flash evaluations across hundreds of facilities nationwide, from manufacturing floors to data centers. Every label we apply, PPE recommendation we make, and report we deliver is rooted in engineering precision and practical insight.
