Cadick Corporation

What Cadick Corporation does

Cadick Corporation is a Texas-based, founder-owned professional services firm founded in 1986 by John Cadick (originally as Cadick Professional Services and incorporated as Cadick Corporation in 1992) that delivers specialized electrical power engineering, marine electrical services, safety auditing, and technical training to utilities, industrial operators, and maritime/military clients. Its core engineering offering comprises power system studies — short circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc flash analysis (NFPA 70E / IEEE 1584), load flow, harmonic analysis, motor starting studies, grounding design, system stability modeling, and reliability-centered maintenance — executed with standard industry analysis software and compliance frameworks (IEEE, ANSI, NFPA, OSHA, NEC, NEMA, IEC, NESC). Marine services cover shipboard electrical instrument calibration, switchgear and propulsion maintenance, automation, and engineering support for both military and commercial vessels, while training is delivered through in-house-developed modules customized and presented on-site at client facilities.

The firm generates revenue through project-based, custom-priced professional services engagements sold via a sales-led, consultative GTM motion targeting enterprise and government buyers through direct contact (toll-free phone, email, website form). Its customer base spans U.S. federal agencies (Navy, Coast Guard, Army, Military Sealift Command), commercial maritime operators (Royal Caribbean, Alaska Marine Highway, TOTE, Alaska Tankers), copper mining operators, chemical plants, and utilities including electric municipals, public utility districts, and cooperatives. The company is staffed by senior practitioners — each engineer and technician has at least 15 years of industry experience — and operates from a Garland, Texas mailing address. As of 2025, the Cadick Corporation website redirects to BNS Power, indicating an acquisition that consolidates the firm's power system, marine, and safety capabilities into a larger platform.
