Helix Electric: The Power to Perform

As one of the most successful electrical contractors in the United States, Helix Electric, Inc. has established itself as a leader across multiple industries, allowing the company to gain a foothold in this $70 billion industry.

Founded in 1985, San Diego-based Helix Electric specializes in design/build, engineering, and installation projects. Helix Electric's services encompass all facets of electrical construction including residential, commercial, and industrial projects, medium voltage power distribution, energy management systems, emergency power systems, fire alarm systems, along with mass transit and rail work.

Building mangers today prefer to work with contactors, such as Helix Electric, who can provide services in multiple markets. The increasing complexity of electrical projects and systems has put experienced and knowledgeable contractors like Helix Electric at the top of their field. Electrical contracting includes installing and maintaining electrical power systems, conduits, cables, control panels, generators, lighting systems, video and data systems, and low voltage systems such as fire alarms.

Helix Electric, which has offices in California, Nevada and Arizona, has provided electrical services for a variety of projects, including airports, civic centers, schools, hospitals, prisons, senior living centers, casinos, hotels, office buildings, residential projects, retail centers, and movie theaters. Helix Electric's high-profile projects include the North County Transit District SPRINTER rail line in San Diego, which entails removal of existing facilities and replacing all utilities, track, ties, ballast, bridge and culvert structures, grade crossing equipment and communication, and control and signaling systems; and Park Terrace East Village in San Diego, a 14-story, 223-unit, mixed-use development in which Helix provided power, lighting, life safety and access control systems, along with communication and data wiring.

Helix Electric, a full-service electrical contractor, is committed to high standards and quality work. The company works with its partners to create and provide innovative solutions. One such solution is design-build, an increasingly popular construction method that shortens the duration of a project by overlapping the design and construction of a project. The seasoned Helix team sets the stage for success of its design-build projects by pre-planning and coordinating with all the players, including plumbing and mechanical.

A big part of Helix Electric's success is attributed to its more than 1,000 employees, who have helped build long-term relationships with clients and vendors. Led by Gary Shekhter, Helix Electric has collected some of the most seasoned people in the electrical contracting field. As an "open shop," Helix Electric can provide its employees opportunities for growth, including critical training and education to enhance their knowledge and competitive edge. Helix Electric's mission is to develop employees from within the organization, allowing the company to recruit and retain some of the best and brightest people in the industry.

As it expands its employee base and portfolio, Helix Electric continues to look for ways to improve the productivity of installation and the quality of its electrical systems. The company thrives on delivering better value, reducing installation time and production schedules, and improving its services, in order to bring a higher level of expertise and customer service to each client.
