Services
What we do
Since 1985, DuCom has worked for facility owners, contractors and engineers. Customers can use one of our services or combine them, so one company carries a project from design to start-up.
Industrial and hazardous-location electrical
Electrical construction, upgrades and maintenance for plants, terminals and other industrial sites, including classified hazardous locations.Control panel fabrication
Custom control panels built in our own shop, sold on their own or installed with the rest of the electrical work.Process controls and calibration
Instrument calibration for temperature, pressure, flow and level, plus instrument installation, tubing and control system work.Design-build
One contract for the design and the installation, with access to qualified consultants and one point of responsibility.24-hour service and maintenance
Emergency service 24 hours a day, plus maintenance, for power, controls and the other electrical systems a facility depends on.Commercial electrical
Commercial wiring, design-build and procurement for offices, schools, labs and other commercial buildings.
Hazardous locations
Built for hazardous and regulated sites
Much of our work is inside operating facilities with classified hazardous areas: bulk fuel and propane terminals, LNG facilities, oil and gas terminals and transportation sites across New England.
We install, upgrade and maintain electrical systems in those areas, including Class I, Division 1 locations. We are used to working inside live operations, where downtime, safety and regulations all call for careful planning.
- Class I, Division 1
- Bulk fuel terminals
- Propane terminals
- LNG facilities
- Oil and gas terminals
- Transportation
Quality control
Tested before start-up
Safety and quality control are part of every installation. Our long attention to signal shielding and circuit separation has given customers many years of trouble-free control installations.
Every conductor is tested before the system goes live, and loop checks and simulations come before start-up, so start-up holds no surprises.
- Megger testEvery conductor, after installation
- 120 to 15,000 V
- Hi-pot testBefore the conductor is energized
- Over 600 V
- Loop checks and simulationsBefore start-up
- Controls
- CalibrationTemperature, pressure, flow and level
- NIST traceable
Panel shop
Control panels built in our own shop
We build custom control panels in our own panel shop, with heat-shrink conductor marking and engraved labels, so every panel leaves as a finished, factory-built product.
Order a stand-alone panel, or have us build it and install it with the rest of the electrical work. Both get the same shop and the same standard.
- Stand-alone panels
- Panels with installation
- Heat-shrink wire marking
- Engraved labels
24-hour service
Emergency service around the clock
Our service division provides 24-hour emergency service to troubleshoot and repair power, controls, automation, gas and fire detection, emergency power and lighting systems.
Our service trucks carry the tools, test equipment and materials our crews routinely need, so they can diagnose and repair without waiting on basic parts. For emergency service, call 978-640-0440.

Projects
On the job
DuCom crews and equipment at industrial, energy and commercial sites.
Do you work in classified hazardous locations?
Yes. DuCom installs and maintains electrical systems in classified hazardous locations, including Class I, Division 1 areas, at bulk fuel and propane terminals, LNG facilities, oil and gas terminals and other industrial sites. We are used to working inside live operations and plan each job around the facility's schedule and safety rules.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?
Yes. Our service division provides 24-hour emergency service to troubleshoot and repair power, controls, automation, gas and fire detection, emergency power and lighting systems. Call 978-640-0440.
Can you build a control panel without doing the installation?
Yes. DuCom builds stand-alone control panels in its own panel shop, and also builds panels that our crews install along with the rest of the electrical work. Both get heat-shrink conductor marking, engraved labels and the same build quality.
How do you test new electrical work before start-up?
Every conductor from 120 to 15,000 volts is megger tested after installation, and conductors over 600 volts are hi-pot tested before they are energized. Loop checks and simulations follow, so start-up holds no surprises.
