Overview

E.K. Associates, in collaboration with Siemens Industries, provided comprehensive project management services supporting Southern California Edison’s large-scale physical security installation program. Our team embedded within SCE’s operational and PMO environment to deliver the governance, scheduling discipline, and risk oversight required to execute complex security upgrades across multiple utility facilities.

E.K. Advantage

Embedded Project & Schedule Management

We developed and maintained detailed project schedules, baselines, and performance metrics, ensuring installation activities progressed on time and within scope.

Enterprise-Level Coordination & Visibility

We enabled PMO and Corporate Security visibility through structured reporting, milestone tracking, and early escalation of risks, constraints, and critical-path changes.

Proactive Risk & Issue Mitigation

We implemented systematic risk management processes, identifying, measuring, and mitigating risks across installation activities to reduce operational disruption.

Safety-Driven Project Execution

We enforced SCE-aligned safety practices, integrating safety considerations into daily operations, contractor oversight, and field execution.

Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

We supported leadership decision-making through regular status briefings, issue resolution facilitation, and alignment across SCE, Siemens, integrators, and field teams.
