are holding up much better,” he said. However, one of the biggest challen- ges facing ports today is not the technol- ogy but the electrical grid that supports it. Utilities across North America are experiencing unprecedented demand as transportation, buildings, and industry all pursue electrification. Combined with the rapid growth of data centers and artificial intelligence infrastruc- ture, obtaining sufficient electrical cap- acity — and even procuring equipment such as transformers and switchgear — has become a significant planning consideration. For P2S, helping clients navigate those complexities is part of its value proposition. The company’s capabilities have also expanded through its integration into Legence, a family of companies focused on decarbonization and energy effi- ciency. The partnership provides P2S with colleagues and technical resources across the United States, allowing the firm to combine decades of West Coast port experience with local expertise in other regions. For Alexander, that creates opportun- ities to share lessons learned from some of the nation’s most advanced port pro- jects with facilities that are just begin- ning their own modernization journeys. As the company enters a new chap- ter, it does so with a leadership team focused on building upon the vision established by founders Kevin and Kent Peterson, who retired in June after more than three decades guid- ing the firm’s growth. Their departure marks the end of an era for P2S, but also the beginning of a new phase of strategic expansion. Today, the company is led by President Brad Lentz, a mechanical engineer whose career has been cen- tered on innovative building and infra- structure solutions, Chief Operating Officer Travis Taylor, who oversees the firm’s operations and continued
the Pacific region and beyond. Whether designing electrical systems for auto- mated terminals, developing charging infrastructure for zero-emission equip- ment, or ensuring that essential port operations continue uninterrupted, P2S is helping build the infrastructure that will support the ports of tomorrow. As a new member of the Association of Pacific Ports, the company brings not only decades of engineering experi- ence but also a commitment to collab- orating with port authorities as they navigate one of the most significant periods of technological change in the industry’s history.

Together, they are steering P2S toward greater inte- gration of sustainable infrastructure, advanced technologies, and collabora- tive design practices while maintaining the client-focused culture established by its founders. With experienced leadership, expanded national resources through its Legence partnership, and a growing portfolio of complex port projects, P2S is positioning itself to be a long-term engineering partner for ports throughout
