since 1972
A Rich History
Founded in 1972 by master electrician Bob Driggers, Bopat Electric Company started with a single van. By the 1980s, thanks to strong industry partnerships, Bopat expanded to a team of 10 dedicated employees. The company continued to grow through the 1990s, employing over 20 staff, opening offices in Columbia and Frederick, and beginning to offer CAD-based design-build services.
In the early 2000s, with more than 90 employees, Bopat became a TEGG franchise, adding electrical preventive maintenance to its offerings. In 2024, Bopat took a major leap forward by co-founding BCES Global, joining an elite network of electrical contractors known as “Best-in-Class Electrical Services,” focused on top-tier electrical asset management.
Today, Bopat specializes in maintaining electrical distribution systems and offers a comprehensive suite of engineering solutions. Our services range from alternative power solutions, including EV and battery backups, to Workplace Electrical Safety Training for sectors like industrial, manufacturing, data centers, residential commercial properties, healthcare, hospitality, and retail.
