Six disciplines, one team

What we do

Every job starts with a visit and a measurement, and ends with drawings, results and a maintenance plan in your hands.

01 The range

Why one firm rather than five

A rooftop solar job is electrical, structural and civil at once. Someone must check the roof carries the weight, run the cable, mount the inverters and get the earthing right.

All six trades sit under one site manager, so the gaps are ours.

02 The scale

What we build, drawn to one scale

A telecom tower is not a taller street light. These are typical heights.

Five structures at the same scale A person 1.7 metres tall, a street lighting column 9 metres, a distribution pole 11 metres, a substation gantry 12 metres, and a lattice telecom tower 42 metres, all on one ground line. 1.7 m A person 9 m Street lighting column 11 m Distribution pole 12 m Substation gantry 42 m Lattice telecom tower

What we build for you comes from your own site survey.

03 The full list

Six disciplines, twenty three services

If it is not listed, ask. We often do it under another name.

01

Power and grid systems

From a load study to live switchgear, the breakers that cut power.

  • Power plant sizing, construction and maintenance
  • Substation construction and maintenance, high voltage and medium voltage
  • Power line construction and maintenance
  • Industrial electrical installation
  • Residential electrical installation
  • Electrical system design and load analysis
  • Diesel generator repair and overhaul

02

Solar and energy storage

Sized from what you actually use, not from a catalogue.

  • Solar system sizing, design, installation and maintenance
  • Grid tied, off grid and hybrid systems, with mains, without mains, or both
  • Battery energy storage
  • Solar water pumping and solar water heating
  • Biogas power plant sizing, design, construction and maintenance

03

Water and irrigation

Finding water, lifting it, piping it where it is needed.

  • Borehole drilling and pump installation
  • Plumbing and water pipeline installation
  • Water distribution networks
  • Irrigation system design and installation

04

Civil and structural

Roads, bridges and buildings, supervised by the people who designed them.

  • Road and bridge construction
  • Building construction, residential, commercial and industrial
  • Project supervision and consultancy
  • Land and topographical surveying, boundaries and ground levels

05

Telecommunications and mechanical

Towers and cable for a network, and comfort inside a building.

  • Telecom tower construction
  • Fibre optic cable laying
  • Mechanical system installation and servicing
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning setup and maintenance

06

Security systems and supply

Cameras and fencing that keep working when the grid does not.

  • Closed circuit television, including solar powered cameras
  • Pan tilt zoom cameras
  • Electric fencing and access control
  • Equipment and tool hire
  • Supply of engineering materials
  • Technical audits

04 How we work

Four steps, numbers shown at every one

No job starts with a price. It starts with a measurement.

  1. 01

    Site assessment

    We visit, measure, and write it down. The survey is yours whether or not you hire us.

  2. 02

    Design and costing

    A priced design, with every assumption written out.

  3. 03

    Build

    Our own crews install it. You get a named contact and a schedule.

  4. 04

    Commissioning and handover

    We test it, hand over drawings and results, and agree upkeep before leaving.

05 Design tools

What we design in

Every drawing comes in software your own engineers can open and check.

Design and analysis software
Tool What we use it for
AutoCAD Civil and electrical drawings, layouts and as built records.
ETAP Power system analysis, load flow and protection coordination.
Revit Building information modelling for structures and services.
GIS Topographical survey data, route mapping and land use.

Not sure which of these you need

Describe the problem and the site. We will tell you what it costs, before you commit.
