01

Challenge

A growing manufacturer had outgrown a distribution system installed two decades earlier. Breakers tripped under peak load, there was no protection discrimination, and a single fault could take down the entire plant.

02

Approach

We began with a full load study and thermographic survey, then designed a new low-voltage distribution architecture with correctly graded protection, dedicated feeders for critical lines, and headroom for the next phase of expansion.

03

Engineering Solution

New main switchboard and sub-distribution boards were fabricated, factory-tested, and installed in a phased changeover across three weekends — production never stopped. Every circuit was injection-tested and the full installation certified.

Technical Scope

  • Switchgear installation
  • Power distribution
  • Testing
  • Commissioning

Results

R1

Zero unplanned electrical downtime since commissioning

R2

40% capacity headroom for plant expansion

R3

Full protection discrimination verified by injection testing

R4

Complete as-built documentation and test records delivered
