OUR SERVICES
We design industrial control panels from the ground up for manufacturing, processing, and industrial clients across Preston. Panel designs are produced as full engineering drawings, with component selection, layout design, and wiring schematics included. Every design is specific to the application. Read more on our Industrial Control Panel Design page.
Programmable Logic Controllers sit at the heart of most modern industrial automation systems. Our engineers wire PLC panels to a high standard, following the design schematics precisely and ensuring all signal, power, and communications wiring is correctly installed. See our PLC Panel Wiring page for more details.
Many industrial projects require both mechanical and electrical engineering input. Our team provides a combined M and E service for industrial clients in Preston, covering both disciplines within a single contract. This reduces coordination risks, simplifies project management, and gives clients a single point of accountability. More on our Mechanical and Electrical Engineering page.
Motor and variable speed drive installations require accurate specification, careful mechanical alignment, and correct electrical connection to perform reliably. Our engineers carry out motor and drive installations to manufacturer specifications and current industry standards across Preston and the surrounding area. See our Motor and Drive Installation page.
Poor power factor wastes energy and increases electricity costs for industrial businesses. Our engineers carry out power factor assessment and install power factor correction equipment at commercial and industrial premises across Preston, helping businesses reduce their energy bills and avoid reactive charges from their energy suppliers. More on our Power Factor Correction page.
Large factory electrical projects involve multiple contractors, tight programmes, and significant commercial stakes. Our project management service gives industrial clients in Preston a single point of control for the full electrical scope of their project, from design through to commissioning and handover. Read more on our Factory Electrical Project Management page.

We have delivered complex engineering projects across the Lancashire industrial corridor, including a full automation upgrade for a production facility near Lytham that involved new PLC panels, variable speed drives on all major motors, updated control wiring throughout, and integration with the site's existing supervisory control system. Projects of this scale are made manageable by experience and structured project management.
