A Structured, Safety-Driven Approach to Electrical Maintenance.

When electrical maintenance is not consistently planned, documented, or aligned to asset condition, facilities face risks of detrimental safety incidents, disruptive unplanned downtime, and costly operational inefficiencies. Pulse360 helps teams transition to a structured, multi-year program built on NFPA 70B guidance and supporting NFPA 70E practices. Interstates starts with a full-facility assessment, then coordinates breaker testing, arc flash updates, and inspections into a condition-informed plan aligned with planned downtime, improving budget predictability and supporting more reliable operations.  

Start with Safety. Act Before Risk Escalates. Optimize Downtime.

Align with NFPA Guidance  

When facilities are not fully aligned to NFPA in a way that is documented, prioritized, and consistently executed, gaps form that create measurable safety, downtime, and operational risks. Pulse360 closes the gaps between NFPA expectations and field execution with documented scopes aligned to real facility needs. 

Gain Structured Visibility Across All Assets 

Reactive maintenance, fixed intervals, and limited visibility into asset condition make electrical risk harder to manage, especially as aging infrastructure, internal resource gaps, and downtime pressure continue to increase. With Pulse360, clients move beyond scattered records and fixed intervals with a condition-informed plan built around asset health and risk. 

Streamline Accountability with a Single Partner 

Many facilities rely on internal teams and scattered vendors to manage critical maintenance tasks in isolation, a model that creates gaps and can increase the likelihood of downtime, safety incidents, and missed maintenance priorities. Pulse360 provides one accountable partner to plan, execute, report, and coordinate maintenance with greater consistency. 

Coordinate Maintenance During Planned Downtime  

A reactive approach to maintenance leads to inefficient, expensive, unplanned outages or risky maintenance delays. With Pulse360, Interstates aligns maintenance with pre-planned shutdowns to reduce disruption and minimize avoidable downtime impact, while improving planning visibility and helping teams make better use of available downtime windows. 

Built for Safer, More Reliable Execution

Pulse360 combines assessment, planning, execution, and optimization into one structured approach to electrical maintenance.

Establish Your Baseline 

Pulse360 begins with a full-facility assessment of current maintenance activities, documentation, and asset condition to establish a clear baseline. This first step helps clients understand where they stand today, how their electrical system aligns with NFPA 70B maintenance principles and NFPA 70E safe work practices, and where safety or downtime risk may already be building. From there, the assessment becomes the foundation for a structured roadmap that identifies what needs to be evaluated, criteria for evaluation, and when and by whom evaluations are completed.

Create Your Roadmap 

Pulse360 then helps facilities move away from reactive maintenance with a structured, condition-informed program backed by Interstates’ plant experience and aligned to NFPA 70B guidance. A typical roadmap may include annual infrared thermal imaging, periodic breaker testing, grounding audits, energized system testing, and cleaning/exercising equipment, coordinated across a multi-year cycle. Pulse360 helps clients reduce safety risk, better align maintenance with planned downtime, improve cost predictability, and make more confident decisions about asset next steps.

Execute With Confidence 

When organizations manage multiple vendors alongside internal teams, there are inevitable gaps, coordination issues, and communication challenges. With Pulse360, clients have one accountable partner to plan, execute, report, and lead ongoing program communication. Interstates serves as a single point of contact, centralizing schedules, documentation, maintenance tracking, and service delivery while streamlining management of contractors, schedules, and internal workflows within one structured program.

Optimize for Reliability

Pulse360 helps facilities use results, trends, and asset insights to keep improving the program over time. As readiness grows, the program can also support more condition-based or predictive approaches, building the foundation for tracking asset condition trends and identifying safety issues, degradation patterns, and failure risks earlier. The result is an increasingly proactive operating model with clearer maintenance priorities, better planning visibility, and a more reliable path toward safer, more consistent, more efficient execution over time.

*No two facilities are identical; Pulse360 is designed to scale and adapt. Individually, these services provide limited value, but coordinated as a program, they reduce risk, improve reliability, and create a clear, defensible maintenance strategy. While clients can add or remove services, adjust frequencies, and expand across additional facilities, Pulse360 bundles services together in a coordinated approach. 

Common Questions About Pulse360

Answers to key questions about scope, standards, and next steps:

Pulse360 is built on NFPA 70B guidance and supports NFPA 70E practices. Its program structure and maintenance scopes are aligned to NFPA 70B guidance, while proper equipment maintenance helps support NFPA 70E safe work practices. 

Pulse360 also helps clients understand required versus recommended maintenance activities and bridges the gap between awareness of the standard and actual execution in the field. 

It provides documentation and reporting that support compliance efforts without guaranteeing compliance. 

No. Pulse360 does not guarantee compliance. Instead, it provides a structured, documented maintenance program that aligns to NFPA 70B guidance and supports NFPA 70E practices to ultimately support safer, more reliable operations. 

The program helps clients identify and address gaps in maintenance execution, documentation, and asset condition. These gaps are increasingly scrutinized during safety audits, insurance reviews, and incident investigations, where properly maintained equipment and documented processes are expected. 

Pulse360 follows a prioritized, multi-year roadmap rather than a one-size-fits-all interval. Cadence is informed by manufacturer guidance, asset condition, and operating environment. Some activities, such as arc flash and system studies, are typically reviewed or updated at defined intervals or when system changes occur. 

A typical roadmap may include annual infrared thermal imaging, periodic breaker testing, grounding audits, energized system testing, and cleaning/exercising equipment, coordinated across a multi-year cycle.  

Yes. Pulse360 gives clients flexibility to keep selected work in-house while still relying on Interstates to make the overall program successful. 

We’re not replacing your team, we’re reducing their burden. You can still maintain what you have capacity for, but we take on the heavy lift: scheduling, executing, documenting, and aligning work to NFPA 70B so your staff can focus where they add the most value. 

Many facilities do rely on multiple vendors, but that approach can make it harder to maintain consistency across planning, execution, and documentation. What we see time and again is that when maintenance is handled by different providers, gaps emerge in scheduling, reporting, and follow-through. Many people should be accountable, but in fact, accountability doesn’t truly rest anywhere.  

Pulse360 brings the work together under one accountable partner, helping standardize how maintenance is planned, executed, and documented. This reduces the burden on internal teams, improves visibility across activities, and helps ensure maintenance efforts are aligned with broader facility priorities and NFPA guidance. 

If maintenance remains reactive or loosely coordinated, the same challenges tend to persist: inconsistent schedules, limited visibility into asset condition, and gaps between maintenance activities and NFPA expectations. Over time, these gaps can make it harder to plan effectively, respond to issues early, and maintain consistent documentation. As issues escalate, serious life safety risks surface when maintenance falls behind, and OSHA can use NFPA 70E to support citations. 

Pulse360 addresses those challenges by introducing structure, prioritization, and a proactive approach.  

Readiness Scorecard How Much Electrical Risk Is Hiding in Your Facility?

Most facilities believe their electrical maintenance is under control. In reality, gaps in execution, documentation, and asset coverage often go unnoticed until they show up as downtime, safety exposure, or audit findings. 

Moreover, what used to be addressed through one-off testing, scattered inspections, or reactive fixes now carries higher stakes.  

Use the Electrical Maintenance Readiness Scorecard to evaluate your current approach to maintenance, documentation, and execution. It’s a quick way to identify gaps, set priorities, and uncover hidden risk in your facility.
