HRE Construction provides a comprehensive range of industrial electrical and instrumentation services for manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and large commercial operations throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, West Virginia, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Our experienced teams handle every phase of electrical construction, from initial design-build planning through energization, testing, and final commissioning. As a full-service industrial electrical contractor, we are equipped to take on complex, multi-phase projects as well as targeted scope work within operating facilities.
Our electrical division specializes in medium and low voltage power distribution from 15kV down to 120V, motor control center (MCC) and switchgear installation, transformer and generator installation, industrial lighting systems, conduit and cable tray installation, and electrical panel upgrades and replacements. We work on new construction projects, plant expansions, equipment line relocations, production line additions, and electrical system upgrades for existing manufacturing facilities. All electrical work is performed to National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements.
HRE Construction's instrumentation team installs, programs, and commissions Allen Bradley, Siemens, ABB, Modicon, and Automation Direct PLC systems. We provide complete process control system integration including flow meters, pressure transmitters, temperature sensors and controllers, level sensors, and analytical instruments. Our technicians perform 4-20mA loop calibration and documentation, control panel and marshalling cabinet fabrication, HMI touchscreen integration, and SCADA system connection. We work within your existing control architecture or help design a new system from the ground up.
We offer comprehensive electrical testing services including protective relay and circuit breaker testing, ground resistance and continuity testing, arc flash hazard analysis and equipment labeling, VLF cable testing, transformer testing, and insulation resistance (megger) testing. Our commissioning team performs step-by-step energization of new electrical systems, verifies motor rotations and control circuit operation, and conducts full-load testing before handing systems over to operations. All results are documented in commissioning packages for the owner's permanent record.
HRE Construction has direct project experience across a broad range of industrial sectors. Our clients include food and beverage processors, automotive parts and assembly manufacturers, pharmaceutical and life sciences producers, chemical and petrochemical processors, pulp and paper mills, water and wastewater treatment authorities, data center operators, and general manufacturing firms. Each industry carries distinct electrical code requirements, process safety standards, and operational constraints. Our field teams bring the relevant certifications and site experience to satisfy those requirements on every engagement, whether it is a Tier 1 automotive supplier's production expansion or a municipal water plant control system upgrade.
For clients who need more than field installation, HRE Construction coordinates with licensed electrical engineers to provide design-build project delivery. We work with engineering partners to develop single-line drawings, panel schedules, conduit and cable routing plans, and instrumentation loop diagrams that are construction-ready and code-compliant. This integrated approach reduces the coordination burden on facility owners, keeps schedules tighter, and ensures that design intent and field execution stay aligned throughout the project.
HRE Construction serves manufacturing and processing clients throughout South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, West Virginia, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Our primary service areas include the greater Columbia, SC metro area, the Charlotte, NC metro, the Greenville-Spartanburg, SC Upstate manufacturing corridor, and clients across our licensed states. Our Elgin, SC headquarters places us within easy driving distance of the majority of South Carolina's industrial population, and we maintain the project management infrastructure to deploy efficiently to regional sites.
HRE Construction holds active electrical contractor licenses in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, West Virginia, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, and Mississippi and carries comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage in all operating states. Our field personnel complete OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 safety training, and our project supervisors maintain NFPA 70E electrical safety certification. We conduct job hazard analyses (JHAs) and site-specific safety orientations before beginning work at any new facility and maintain a strong incident-free safety record that our clients and general contractors rely on.
