project brief

This project formed part of a factory extension designed to increase production capacity and support the installation of additional manufacturing equipment. The works focused on delivering high-capacity electrical infrastructure capable of supporting both current operations and future expansion. This included the installation of a large-scale busbar system, dedicated machinery power supplies, and high-performance LED lighting throughout the production area to create a safe, efficient working environment.

The challenge

The primary challenge was delivering a high-capacity electrical installation within an active manufacturing site while maintaining safety and minimising disruption to ongoing operations. The factory extension required a power distribution system capable of handling significant electrical loads, with reliability and scalability built into the design. Integrating new infrastructure with existing systems In addition, the production environment required effective lighting and flexible power distribution to support a range of machinery layouts. Machinery supplies up to 200A needed to be installed accurately and positioned to allow for future reconfiguration as production demands evolved. The lighting design also had to provide consistent, high-level illumination across the production floor, improving visibility, safety, and overall working conditions.

project goals

The goal of the project was to deliver a robust and future-proof electrical installation that supported the factory’s expansion while enhancing operational efficiency and safety. The electrical infrastructure needed to be capable of supporting high-load machinery, adaptable to changing production requirements, and compliant with all relevant standards.

  • Installation of a 1200A busbar system to provide high-capacity power distribution

  • Installation of machinery power supplies up to 200A to support production equipment

  • Installation of LED high-bay lighting throughout the production area

the result

The project was completed successfully, delivering a high-capacity, reliable electrical infrastructure tailored to the needs of the extended factory space. The new 1200A busbar system provides scalable power distribution, while the dedicated machinery supplies support efficient and flexible equipment installation. The LED high-bay lighting has significantly improved illumination across the production area, creating a safer and more productive working environment. The client now benefits from an electrical installation designed to support both immediate operational demands and future growth..
