Case studies

What we did, how we did it, and what it achieved.

Periodic Ex inspection at an onshore terminal

An onshore terminal needed its periodic Ex inspection done in one shutdown, with a register the site team could actually use afterwards. Our CompEx inspectors inspected every item, priced the remedials and handed the client a live register in their portal.

Office fit-out with EV charging

A two-floor office was refurbished while staff kept working. We rewired lighting and power, added emergency lighting and floor-box power for new desks, and installed twelve EV charge points in the car park.

Agriculture & grain storage

Dust-zone rewire at a grain store

A growing grain store had outgrown its wiring, and a DSEAR assessment had classified the silos, elevator and intake as dust zones. We rewired the store with Ex t rated equipment and built a new MCC for the dryer, elevator and conveyors, finishing before harvest.

Substations & battery rooms

Battery room upgrade at a 33 kV substation

The battery room at a rural substation needed new lighting, ventilation and DC distribution, and the client's assessment had classified the high-level space as Zone 2 because of hydrogen from the batteries. We replaced the installation with Ex-rated equipment while the substation stayed on temporary batteries.

4000 A switchboard upgrade after a major fire

After a major fire, a treatment works needed a new 4000 A primary switchboard and every MCC on site moved across to it. We planned a series of critical shutdowns with the client, with a 1500 kVA generator feeding the new switchboard through its own interlocked ACB while the plant was transferred, installed the heavy cabling from a 2 MVA transformer, and did it all in a hazardous area with H2S present and confined-space procedures in place.
