Industrial work we do
- Fault finding and breakdown response. Tripping circuits, motor faults, control faults, supply issues. We find the cause, not just the symptom, and tell you what it means for the rest of the installation.
- Machinery and plant connections. 3-phase supply, isolators, motor control, VSDs, and the load checks that stop a new machine from tripping the board it was connected to.
- Main switchboards and distribution. New boards, upgrades, submains, heavy copper terminations and the testing and labelling that go with them.
- Preventative maintenance. Thermal imaging of boards, RCD testing, emergency lighting, connection tightness and the compliance reporting your insurer and auditor ask for.
- Planned shutdowns. Board changeovers, submain replacements and upgrades that can only happen when the plant is off, done to a plan with a crew sized to the window.
- Lighting at height. High-bay and external lighting off lifts, with our commercial lighting team.
The difference between an industrial electrician and a good domestic one
It's not the licence. It's what you've seen. An electrician who has terminated heavy copper into a main switchboard, worked out why a 3-phase motor is drawing unevenly, and run a board changeover inside a 10-hour shutdown window has a different set of instincts from 1 who has spent 15 years doing houses well. The photo above is 1 of our electricians heat shrinking terminations on a main board. That's the work.
Modular and manufactured buildings
A large part of our industrial work is inside factories that build things: modular building manufacturers in particular, where we do the complete electrical fit-out of each unit in the factory, test and certify it, then complete the site interconnection when the unit lands. It's production-line electrical work with a compliance certificate at the end of every unit.
Where the industrial work is
Adelaide's industrial belt runs through the western and north-western suburbs and that's where most of our industrial customers are: Port Adelaide, Ottoway, Rosewater, Athol Park, Mansfield Park and the Wingfield and Regency Park estates beside them. We cover the rest of metro Adelaide within about 30km of the CBD.
