Dan Chisholm Sr.

In addition, he serves as an expert witness in cases where emergency power equipment has been involved in legal disputes.

Decommissioning Services*

We’ve helped move over 450mW of decommissioned generators and associated gear during the last 5 years. Some of the older non-Tier rated gear moves exceptionally fast in Europe, the Caribbean, and SE Asia where emissions aren’t as limited as in the US. In order to receive the maximum amount for equipment we normally recommend advertising it well in advance of removal, and still in service.  In this manner, a potential buyer can have confidence they’re not buying a pig in a poke. Sale prices can actually double.

Emergency Power Integrity Center (EPIC)**

Our core business involves performing Risk Assessments on Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPSS).  We can now perform those assessments in some cases without site visits.
