Empowering Manufacturing and Process Operations

Whether they are creating goods or processing raw materials, Industrial complexes represent the core of production in the manufacturing and process sectors. These facilities demand a substantial amount of power to operate various pieces of equipment, machinery, and systems. Managing the electrical infrastructure within these industrial sites can be challenging as they require a comprehensive and efficient power distribution network that includes both high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) systems and equipment.

Engineering Power Solutions (EPS) play a crucial role in tailoring electrical assets to the specific requirements of manufacturing and process facilities. Leveraging our wide-ranging expertise and cutting-edge technologies such as ETAP, DIgSILENT, and CDEGs we can identify and design the most appropriate electrical power distribution structure for your facilities, specify the correct equipment, and seamlessly integrate electrical controls. The outcome is a bespoke, future-proof electrical infrastructure that efficiently supports your operations.

Our Approach

Our consultants are adept at identifying areas of your facility where energy savings can be realised. We conduct energy audits to evaluate your overall energy usage and propose tailored measures to save energy. Additionally, our power system consultants offer support in implementing these strategies.

We are dedicated to providing best-in-class and compliant solutions. EPS’s electrical engineers ensure that your electrical assets and equipment meet all applicable quality and safety regulations.

Our due diligence helps you avert heavy financial losses, reduce safety hazards, and minimise asset downtime. This consists of outlining methods such as appropriate earthing practises and integrating surge protection and up-to-date safety measures.

Equipment documentation

If you’re looking to replace some existing equipment and require a data sheet or specification to purchase new equipment then EPS can help you; typical documentation for projects may include:

  • High and Low Voltage switchboard specification, FAT scope, installation work scope
  • Electrical protection settings schedule
  • UPS system specification, data sheet
  • DC Chargers specification, data sheet
  • Equipment installation specifications
  • Cable routing drawings

Drawing consolidation work

Many buildings or manufacturing plants over the years have either missing or not kept up to date with their electrical drawings due to refurbishment work or previous engineers misplacing crucial documentation on their electrical system. This means that technicians carrying out maintenance work are not working to up to date drawings. EPS can help you consolidate and revise these drawing to assist your technicians or to assist future projects.

  • Typical documentation may include:
  • Single line drawings
  • Protection settings schedules
  • Distribution board schedules
  • Cable routing drawings

Additional services

  • Attend weekly / fortnightly / monthly project meetings
  • Electrical surveys
  • Thermal imaging surveys
  • Energy Efficiency calculations
  • Factory Acceptance Testing (national and international)

Typical projects include

Providing cost effective electrical design solutions for:

  • Conceptual design and project cost estimates
  • New product line supplies from existing switchboard detailed design
  • Office small power and lighting supply designs
  • A new substation / transformer to supply a new product line
  • Lighting design and power supplies for example a new compound / existing switchroom
  • Providing supplies to new 3-phase machinery
  • Decommissioning – removing and rerouting power supplies for decommissioned and remaining operational plant

Installation and supply of:

  • Condition monitoring systems.
  • Arc flash labelling
  • Thermal imaging sight glass
