Electrical Supply for Institutional Facilities

Institutional facilities have a wide range of lighting electrical supply requirements and needs. We carry whatever you need for interior or exterior lighting: lamps, ballasts, fixtures, and controls. Through extensive lighting solutions, lighting audits, and lighting design services, Van Meter’s lighting specialists can help your facilities maximize energy savings while improving lighting quality to help with better learning in school or patient care in a hospital.

As a renewable energy source, solar can replace fossil fuel – the sun is free and will never run out. During budget reductions and program cuts, it may not seem like a good time to invest in a solar project. But Van Meter can show you how to implement a solar array in a cost-effective, socially responsible way. If there ever was a good time to invest in renewable energy – it’s right now. You can incorporate rooftop solar array that will result in annual savings year after year.

A six-hour power failure can cost you money when you are not prepared. Not only do power and control solutions ensure delivery of quality care, but they also affect revenue due to the cost of business disruptions. You need to incorporate the highest possible levels of power reliability and safety; these solutions must accommodate the changing requirements of building infrastructure and systems.

Van Meter can implement inventory maintenance processes for you, so you never have to worry about storeroom and electrical supplies again (from power transmission, data communications equipment, ballasts, exit lighting, wiring devices, floor boxes, to small nuisance items like paper towels). We’ll compare your current inventory with quantities needed to sufficiently maintain supply levels, and then organize it with a customized barcode system. We’ll come back to regularly check your stock and replenish it as necessary, handling any repairs, upgrades, and exchanges.

The protection and safety requirements of institutional facilities varies from what they are doing. A government prison facility is vastly different than the needs of a post office, hospital or school and Van Meter offers security solutions at all levels. Whether you’re looking for a simple parking lot surveillance system or a state-of-the-art, layered safety solution that integrates with a building management system, we’ll help you select security solutions, answer questions about maintenance and installation, and help design the most effective security system possible.

Protecting employees, visitors, and contractors is vital to maintain an organization’s performance and reputation. We’ll work with your safety team to reduce risk and improve safety outcomes. Van Meter offers safety and risk mitigation solutions in the areas of arc flash, lockout/tagout, personal protective equipment (PPE), and thermal management.

Your network and communications infrastructure are important for productivity and customer experience. Van Meter’s network infrastructure solutions provide high-bandwidth connections both wired and wireless for voice, video, and data so employees can work directly with the latest technology applications. From routers and cabling to connectors and switches, Van Meter has what you need to establish a reliable and secure network that can handle the technology used now.
