PDC's Agr1Solutions Team of Experts provide electrical contracting and industrial automation for Wisconsin's agricultural operations. We specialize in dairy farms, grain facilities, wastewater treatment systems, and food production facilities across the region.
BY THE NUMBERS
Agricultural facilities require electrical installations that account for environmental conditions, equipment demands, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Our electricians install systems built for these conditions, designing infrastructure that supports automation, optimizes energy usage, and integrates with management systems.
Water Efficiency Improvement
~50%
with precision irrigation systems
Labor Efficiency Gain
~25%
through automated feeding, handling, and environmental controls
Unplanned Downtime Reduction
~15–30%
with predictive maintenance on pumps, conveyors, and handling systems
PDC has worked with Wisconsin dairy operations for over 50 years. We design and install electrical and automation controls systems for dairy barns and milking parlors—from ground-up new construction to facility remodels and additions. We understand how electrical systems affect animal welfare and milk production—from lighting that optimizes photoperiods to equal potential planes that eliminate stray voltage issues.
Ground-up electrical design for new dairy construction
Equal potential planes and specialized grounding systems
Milking system electrical and automation
LED lighting systems designed for dairy operations
Ventilation system controls and automation
Remote monitoring and alarm systems for equipment
Security and cow observation camera systems
Complete data services and connectivity infrastructure
Facility remodels and additions
We design and install electrical and automation controls systems for commercial elevators and on-farm grain storage operations. Grain facilities require electrical infrastructure that meets Class 2, Division 1, Group G requirements for explosive atmospheres, supports automated handling systems, and accommodates future expansion. Our installations integrate modern automation that reduces labor costs and prevents grain mixing errors.
Agricultural wastewater treatment facilities require electrical infrastructure that ensures EPA compliance while operating in challenging environments. We design and install electrical and automation controls systems for new wastewater treatment installations and facility upgrades, including pump stations, aeration systems, and SCADA monitoring. Our systems account for seasonal flow variations, nutrient-rich waste streams, and continuous operation requirements.
Case Studies
Our project teams coordinate installations around operational schedules and understand the constraints of agricultural operations. We work directly with farm owners, facility managers, and equipment suppliers to deliver systems that meet production requirements and regulatory standards.
