Automation and Control

Building, process and factory control systems typically involve electrical systems installed and maintained by electrical contractors. Keeping up with new applications and technologies, including robotics is important to ensure the most reliable and cost- and energy-efficient systems are deployed.

Data Cabling

Essential service to every office, data cabling includes category-type UTP cabling, optical fibre and even wireless technologies to connect PCs, networks, telephony, audio-visual systems, office automation and even security systems.

Distribution

Reticulating electricity through buildings requires the installation of electrical cabling, from switchboards and distribution boards to GPOs, all compliant to electrical regulations. Non-compliant products, installation or design compromise the safety and efficiency of these systems.

Home Automation

Home owners are demanding the integration of services and technologies to make their home more comfortable, valuable and energy-efficient. Home automation integrates and controls lighting, home theatre, heating, air-conditioning, energy management, security and landscaped gardens.

Installation

A quality electrical installation requires many elements beyond just the wiring and termination - proper earthing, cable support, conduit, labeling, attention to barrier penetrations and fire containment and segregation from other services.

Lighting

Ever-changing technologies and regulations require electrical contractors to constantly keep up-to-date with lighting. Energy-efficient lighting and control systems are now mandated, while new control and LED lighting technologies are advancing at incredible pace.

Safety

Electrical contractors are exposed to the risk of electrical shock virtually every day, so they must have and provide adequate protection for themselves and their clients through electrical safety systems like RCDs and earthing, safety tools, test gear and apparel.

Supply Protection

Providing reliable electricity into premises requires protection against supply anomalies. These include surge arrestors to protect against transients and lightning strikes, UPS for power continuity and power factor correction equipment for efficient power consumption.

Testing

Testing is fundamental in electrical installation and maintenance. Doing it accurately and safely requires the right test instrument and skills to use it. Testers include digital multi-meters, power quality meters, thermal imagers and portable appliance testers.
