24/7 Emergency Breakdown Service
Industrial downtime can cost thousands per hour. When your production line stops, your machinery fails, or you lose power to critical systems, our emergency response team is available around the clock. We carry extensive inventory on our service vehicles to resolve most breakdowns in a single visit, getting your facility back to full operation as quickly as possible.
Capabilities
Industrial Electrical Solutions
3-Phase Machinery Connection
Industrial operations rely on heavy-duty three-phase power to run machinery, compressors, and processing equipment. Our licensed electricians handle all aspects of 3-phase installation, from main switchboard configuration and cable sizing to final termination and commissioning. We ensure your machinery runs safely and efficiently from day one.
Emergency Stops & Safety Systems
Worker safety is paramount in any industrial environment. Our team ensures every emergency stop is correctly wired, clearly labelled, and tested to function reliably when it matters most.
Shop & Factory Lighting
Proper lighting in an industrial facility isn't just about visibility — it directly impacts productivity, safety, and energy costs. We design and install high-bay LED lighting systems for warehouses, workshops, and factories that deliver superior illumination while dramatically reducing your power bills. Our lighting solutions meet Australian Standards for workplace illumination levels.
Plant Equipment & Load Balancing
Industrial electrical systems carry heavy loads that need careful management to prevent overloading, voltage drops, and equipment damage. Our electricians assess your total electrical load, balance power distribution across phases, and ensure your infrastructure can handle current demands as well as future expansion. We also maintain and repair plant equipment electrical systems to keep your operations running smoothly.
Full Service
Complete Industrial Electrical Services
Our industrial electrical division handles everything from routine maintenance and testing through to major installations and upgrades. We work with factories, warehouses, workshops, processing plants, and distribution centres throughout the Brisbane region.
Testing & Compliance
Industrial facilities face stringent electrical compliance requirements under Queensland workplace health and safety legislation. Regular testing, tagging, and inspection of electrical installations and equipment is not optional — it's a legal obligation.
Our testing and compliance services include RCD testing, Test & Tag of all portable equipment, emergency and exit light testing, and full electrical safety audits. We provide detailed compliance reports and certificates for your records.
We also offer scheduled preventative maintenance programs designed to catch faults before they cause costly breakdowns or safety incidents. Prevention is always more cost-effective than repair.
Where We Work
Industrial environments we service
Industrial electrical work shares a common language — 3-phase, machinery, compliance — but the specifics change with the environment. Six of the patterns we see most across Brisbane's industrial corridors.
Manufacturing & Production
3-phase machinery connections, motor starters, variable speed drives, production line wiring, conveyor controls, emergency stop integration.
Warehouses & Distribution
High-bay LED lighting, loading dock power, roller door controls, CCTV and security integration, forklift charging circuits.
Workshops — Auto, Fabrication, Timber
Workshop lighting at correct lux levels, 3-phase welder and compressor supply, overhead hoist wiring, dedicated dust extraction circuits.
Commercial Kitchens & Laundries
Industrial-grade commercial kitchen power, dishwasher and glasswasher circuits, extraction fans, laundry equipment, exhaust systems.
Agricultural & Rural Sheds
Pump and irrigation supply, large-shed lighting, 3-phase for feed and grain handling equipment, rural-grade surge protection.
Industrial Maintenance Programs
Scheduled preventative maintenance, RCD testing, emergency stop verification, compliance paperwork.
What to Expect
How an industrial job runs
Site survey & load analysis
Licensed electrician attends site to document existing supply, switchboards, and machinery. Load profile calculated against existing infrastructure to identify bottlenecks or compliance gaps.
3-phase supply assessment with Energex
For supply upgrades we coordinate with Energex — supply capacity check, connection policy review, temporary disconnection scheduling, meter configuration.
Scoped fixed-price quote
Detailed quote covering machinery wiring, distribution boards, emergency stops, compliance testing. Every line item clearly described.
Installation around production windows
Most industrial work is completed outside production hours — evenings, weekends, planned shutdowns. We plan isolation carefully so nothing unintended gets de-energised.
Commissioning & compliance certification
Every new circuit tested. Emergency stops verified. Machinery-safety documentation delivered. Certificate of Electrical Safety for any regulated work.
Compliance & Standards
Regulations we work to
Industrial electrical work in Queensland is governed by multiple overlapping standards. The core set:
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 — Wiring Rules, the foundation of every installation.
- AS/NZS 3012 — construction and demolition site electrical installations.
- AS/NZS 4024 — machinery safety, guards, interlocks.
- AS/NZS 62061 — functional safety of electrical control systems.
- AS/NZS 3008 — cable sizing and voltage-drop calculations.
- Workplace Health & Safety Queensland — machinery risk assessment, lockout-tagout procedures.
- QLD Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 — RCD testing, hostile environment testing intervals, licensed work.
What Affects Your Quote
How we price industrial work
Every industrial job is quoted fixed-price after a site visit. Rate cards don't work in industrial — the scope is too variable. The drivers of your quote:
Supply & distribution scope
3-phase upgrade, Energex coordination, main and sub-board capacity, load balancing.
Machinery wiring
Number of machines, phase configuration, motor control and variable-speed-drive requirements.
Safety systems
Emergency stops, arc-flash assessment, machinery guarding integration per AS/NZS 4024.
Out-of-hours access
Most industrial work is completed outside production hours — quoted transparently up front.
Compliance & ongoing maintenance
Initial compliance audit, RCD and emergency stop testing programs.
