System
Retrofits
Brownfield upgrades of low-voltage systems featuring direct primary contact connections & arc-flash protection.
Protection
& Recovery
Protection systems for facility power supply lines against grid faults & events, maintaining uninterrupted power to production systems.
Modular busbar
systems
Flexible power distribution via low-voltage busbar trunking for indoor & outdoor applications.

Drakken is vendor-agnostic. We specify, procure, and commission power distribution equipment from all major manufacturers based on project requirements, not supplier agreements.
02. Power Management Systems (PMS)
Intelligent power management
Drakken’s Power Management System ensures production doesn’t stop, even during supply shortfalls or equipment faults. We provide a centralized view of grid health in real time. A lead engineer remains technically accountable on every project, supported by a dedicated execution team.
Ultra-Fast Load Shedding: Response rates of <70ms. In the event of a generator trip, non-critical loads shed fast enough to prevent a total blackout.
Generation Control: Automated to keep system frequency and voltage within specified ranges, managing load sharing between multiple generators.
Centralized Automation: Integration of protection devices, PQ recorders and sensors across multiple protocols (IEC 61850, Modbus) into a single execution layer.
Microgrid & Renewable Integration: Management of hybrid power sources, ensuring stable integration of renewables with a traditional power supply.
03. Protection, Automation & Power Quality
Data-driven from concept to commissioning
Drakken delivers power quality solutions that monitor, analyze and balance power quality in real-time.
Comprehensive
Monitoring
Centralized vendor-neutral fault records and power quality data.
Grid Code
Evaluation
Continuous testing against international PQ standards & facility limits.
Predictive
Analysis
Using PQ faults to mitigate trends before it leads to hardware failure.
04. Modular Buildings
E-Houses & Power Buildings
Drakken engineers, fabricates and deploys fully integrated electrical houses for upstream oil and gas facilities. Each E-house is designed as a self-contained power distribution center – housing LV/MV switchgear, motor control centers, variable frequency drives, UPS systems, and distribution boards in a single transportable, climate-controlled enclosure.
Our E-houses are built to the specific hazardous area classification of the installation site and can be specified as fire-rated, blast-proof, or pressurized depending on the facility risk profile. We manage the full delivery chain: electrical design, structural design coordination, vendor-managed fabrication, factory acceptance testing (FAT), transportation, and on-site installation and commissioning.
Whether the scope is a single E-house for a remote wellpad or a multi-building power complex for a central processing facility, Drakken provides single-party accountability from single-line diagram through energized, load-tested switchgear.

i. Case Study
Consolidating Scope to Eliminate Secondary Modules
Drakken executed the complete EPCM scope for a 400-tonne E-house on an offshore FPSO – 6.6 kV MV and 400 V LV switchgear, MV/LV transformers, Emerson DeltaV ICSS, PMS with load shedding, UPS, HVAC, and fire detection – integrated with topsides production, utility and marine electrical systems.
By iteratively redesigning the internal layout to absorb continuous scope growth from adjacent contractors, Drakken eliminated the need for a second E-house. Delivered ahead of vessel readiness over 22 months with zero lost-time incidents.

Iterative layout redesigns absorbed ongoing contractor scope growth, eliminating a second E-house. Delivered ahead of vessel readiness in 22 months with zero lost-time incidents.
05. Electrical Safety
Earthing & Lightning Protection
Drakken designs, procures and installs earthing and lightning protection systems for upstream facilities. Our scope includes earthing studies, soil resistivity testing, earthing grid design, lightning risk assessment to IEC 62305, and specification of air terminals, down conductors, arrestors and surge protection devices.
We supply complete earthing material packages – earth rods, cables, crimps, lugs, and C-taps – and manage installation through to measured earth resistance verification.
Drakken maintains a zero-LTI safety record across all electrical commissioning and energization activities. Every team member holds valid LOTO (Lock Out/Tag Out) certification, and all energization procedures require an approved Permit to Work. Stop Work Authority applies to every member of every site team
Our scope includes:
Soil testing and grid design
IEC 62305 lightning risk assessments
Material supply and installation
Measured earth resistance verification
Site safety protocols:
Zero-LTI record across all commissioning
100% LOTO-certified field teams
Mandatory approved Permit to Work for all operations
Stop Work Authority held by all personnel

06. Commissioning & Testing
Taking the project live
Drakken commissions every power system we deliver. Our commissioning methodology covers switchgear and MCC startup, primary and secondary injection testing of protection relays, cable insulation resistance and hi-pot testing, transformer commissioning (ratio, winding resistance, oil analysis), UPS load bank testing, and earthing continuity verification.
We produce full ITR-A/ITR-B completion packs, maintain a punch list through to close-out, and hand over a tested, energized system with verified protection coordination – not a set of drawings and a shipping manifest.
The same senior engineer who led the design is responsible for first energization. This single-party accountability from FEED through commissioning is how we eliminate the interface failures that occur when design, procurement, fabrication and commissioning are split across contractors.
