Services
Electrical Installation
Our electrical installation services cover complete site-wide upgrades and new build projects. We specialise in complex industrial environments including water treatment plants and petrochemical facilities. Our engineers deliver full electrical infrastructure solutions from intake systems to final distribution. All installations comply with current BS EN 61439 standards and are supported by comprehensive testing and certification.
Control Panel Manufacturing
We design and manufacture custom control panels to exact client specifications. Our facilities produce low voltage switchboards, motor control centres and automation systems using both traditional fabrication and modular construction methods. Panels incorporate ASTA/KEMA certified busbar systems with fault ratings up to 80kA. Each unit undergoes full type testing before dispatch.
Automation Solutions
Our automation division provides complete control systems from single pump controllers to large-scale MCC installations. We integrate PLC programming, HMI development and SCADA systems across major platforms including Mitsubishi and Rockwell. Projects benefit from early-stage design collaboration and on-site commissioning support to ensure optimal system performance.
Modular Panel Systems
Our patented Modular Panel System enables rapid enclosure construction using pre-formed components. This system allows flexible configuration changes during project phases while maintaining IP54 protection ratings. Panels can be assembled within days of design approval, significantly reducing lead times compared to traditional fabrication methods.
Turnkey Projects
We deliver full turnkey electrical solutions from initial design through to commissioning. Our project teams manage all aspects including steelwork fabrication, panel build, site installation and system integration. This comprehensive approach ensures seamless coordination between design, manufacturing and on-site activities for complex industrial projects.
