Our Electrical Services Include:

Power Distribution Systems (LV & MV)

Design, installation, and maintenance of low and medium voltage (LV & MV) power distribution systems — including main panels, sub-distribution boards, and industrial cabling. We ensure safe, load-balanced power delivery across your facility, engineered to handle the demands of heavy-duty industrial operations.

Motor Control Systems

We build and install reliable motor starter panels, soft starters, and overload protection systems — keeping your production equipment safe, responsive, and energy-efficient.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

We size, supply, install, and commission VFDs to optimize motor performance and energy usage across pumps, conveyors, fans, and compressors. Our team ensures correct wiring, parameter setup, and integration with control systems.
(Also see our Automation Services page for VFD integration with PLCs and HMIs.)

Electrical Panel Building & Retrofitting

From control panels to MCCs (motor control centres), we deliver clean, well-documented panels — whether building new or upgrading outdated systems. All built to SANS/IEC standards.

Plant Installation & Electrical Commissioning

Full electrical fit-out for new or expanding plants, including cable routing, termination, testing, and site commissioning. We ensure your facility goes live safely and on schedule.

Power Factor Correction Systems

We design and install automatic power factor correction units (PFCUs) to improve electrical efficiency, stabilize voltage, and reduce penalties from low power factor. Using capacitor banks and smart control relays, our systems are tailored to your load profile and operating environment — especially valuable in plants with motors, welding machines, and variable loads.

Generator Sizing, Installation & Integration

We supply, install, and commission industrial generators for backup and prime power applications — including load analysis, changeover systems, and seamless integration with your facility’s electrical network. Our solutions ensure reliable power continuity during outages and are tailored to your site’s capacity, environment, and critical load profile.

Lighting & Power for Industrial Facilities

Design and installation of industrial lighting, power sockets, and energy-saving upgrades for workshops, plants, and warehouses.

Earthing, Bonding & Surge Protection

Proper grounding and protection systems that safeguard your equipment, panels, and people from faults and lightning strikes — essential in our local climate.
