BEI Construction partners with Watson Electric, Inc. to expand our scope in utility, power-plant, and water-infrastructure electrical work across California.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Watson Electric is a California-based, MWBE (Minority\/Woman Business Enterprise)-owned, union electrical contractor with 40 years of experience supporting utilities and public agencies across the state. This partnership strengthens BEI\u2019s technical capabilities, expands our service portfolio, and adds depth to the work we deliver across energy, infrastructure, and electrical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company specializes in medium- and high-voltage electrical work in complex environments, including fossil fuel power plants, hydropower facilities, industrial operations, and water-resource infrastructure. Its experience is built on an established history with PG&E, the Department of Water Resources (DWR)<\/a>, and other major public agencies, providing maintenance, new installations, electrical upgrades, and support across critical facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Stronger Team for Complex Energy Infrastructure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under the partnership agreement, members of the Watson Electric team have joined BEI Construction, broadening the company\u2019s service offerings into utility and power-plant electrical services. Casey Dias, a fourth-generation electrical contractor, will oversee the new division as Principal. Carla Dias, CEO of Watson Electric, will remain involved, as well, to ensure seamless alignment with long-standing clients and active project commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis partnership expands our capabilities in an important way,\u201d said Dominic DiMare, CEO of BEI Construction<\/a>. \u201cWatson Electric brings specialized expertise in environments where safety, precision, and operational knowledge are essential. Together, we are positioned to serve a wider range of energy and infrastructure needs across California.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The combined team is already collaborating at Oroville<\/a>, part of the largest water infrastructure project in California and the second largest in the United States. Additional utility and water-infrastructure projects \u2014 including Herald, Colusa, and Humboldt \u2014 are also part of the growing portfolio. This expanded scope complements BEI\u2019s established strengths in renewable energy, battery storage, microgrids, and technology infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJoining BEI gives our team the opportunity to contribute our experience in power-plant and utility electrical systems while becoming part of a company whose values align closely with ours,\u201d said Casey Dias. \u201cWe look forward to supporting BEI\u2019s growth and delivering high-quality work for clients across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this partnership, BEI Construction moves into our next stage of growth, adding new technical capabilities, strengthening our service offerings, and expanding the team with skilled professionals experienced in some of California\u2019s most demanding electrical environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
