Environments, the Lighting Environments subsidiary specialising in intelligent building systems and power-infrastructure design, has entered a strategic partnership with custom electrical distribution manufacturer, Gavan-Graham.
The move creates a single-source provider for complex power-delivery projects across multiple sectors, offering customers an end-to-end pathway from design and engineering to manufacturing, delivery, and system integration.
The combined offering covers low- and medium-voltage systems, electrohouses, and panel boards, with both companies positioning the alliance as a way to bring greater technical intelligence, equipment reliability, and system cohesion to the increasingly sophisticated smart-building market.
As organisations face growing pressure to improve sustainability, efficiency, and electrification, the two firms say their combined expertise will support demand for more resilient, turnkey solutions tailored to specific facility requirements. “This partnership reduces the need to coordinate multiple vendors, improves supply-chain reliability, and ensures full-scale system alignment at the moment of integration,” said Erin McDannald, Chief Executive of Environments. “As we strengthen our power capabilities, this collaboration sets Environments apart, allowing us to offer customers the most comprehensive, reliable, and cohesive solution, with faster delivery and fewer points of failure.”
The partnership expands Environments’ reach into high-capacity switchgear, substation deployments, temporary or transportable power systems, specialised enclosures, and utility-grade distribution for critical infrastructure. For Gavan-Graham, now part of Michael Baker International, the alliance promises broader market access by embedding its equipment within a wider intelligent-design ecosystem, while maintaining its reputation for rapid lead times and bespoke engineering.
The companies expect particular uptake from data centres and technology facilities requiring redundant, high-resilience power; healthcare, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing sites with specialised electrical needs; utility and infrastructure projects; and commercial or mixed-use developments aiming to combine power distribution with smart-building capabilities.
Gavan-Graham’s portfolio includes work for the New York Stock Exchange, FOX News, Pier 96 Studio, Netflix, Johnson & Johnson, and Hackensack Meridian Health’s data-centre operations.
