Industrial Control Panel Retrofit in Tampa
Panels rebuilt to UL 508A standard, with SCCR calculated and marked, safety circuits brought current, and full documentation delivered with the finished panel.
Panels that were never built to code catch up eventually
A lot of the panels we open have never had a UL label, have no SCCR marked on the nameplate, and show years of “temporary” fixes: jumpers, taped-over labels, bypassed E-stops, safety circuits built from standard relays instead of safety-rated devices. Individually, any one of these might not stop production. Together, they’re exactly what an insurance carrier or OSHA inspector flags, and exactly what puts a technician at risk during troubleshooting.
What we do
We retrofit existing panels to UL 508A standard: recalculated and marked SCCR per NEC Article 409, safety circuits brought up to NFPA 79 and IEC 60204, and full documentation delivered with the finished panel: BOM, wiring diagrams, I/O schedule, layout drawings. Where the enclosure itself is undersized, corroded, or simply outdated, we build a new one rather than patch a bad foundation.
Why ICS?
UL 508A Certified
Every panel we build is fabricated and labeled to UL 508A standard, in-house.

How it works
Retrofit Assessment
We walk the plant, inventory every control platform, and hand you a written report: what is obsolete, what a failure would cost, and what we would recommend.
Written Scope
A fixed-price proposal for the retrofit, with a schedule that works around your production calendar.
Build, Install, Commission
Panel built and tested in our Largo shop, installed on your timeline, commissioned on-site with your team.
Frequently asked questions
Short Circuit Current Rating: the maximum fault current a panel can safely withstand. NEC Article 409 requires it to be calculated and marked on every panel, and an unmarked or miscalculated SCCR is one of the most common findings in an insurance or AHJ inspection.
Yes. That’s most of what we see. We evaluate the existing enclosure and components and either bring it up to UL 508A standard or build a new one if the enclosure itself isn’t a safe foundation.
Most single-panel retrofits are a 4-8 week build once scoped, with installation scheduled around a planned outage window.
