We design panels from first principles, producing full engineering drawings and schematics that reflect the exact requirements of your application. Our NICEIC registered engineers have 25 years of experience designing and building control panels for industrial processes across Lancashire, and every design we produce is built to last and easy to maintain.
More Information
Design That Starts With Your Process
Good control panel design begins with a thorough understanding of the process it controls. We take time to understand your application, the motors and equipment to be controlled, the operating sequences and interlock logic required, and any safety or regulatory requirements specific to your industry or process. Only once we understand the application fully do we begin producing the design. This approach avoids the costly redesign and rework that results from panels built to a generic template rather than a specific brief.
Full Engineering Documentation as Standard
Every control panel we design is supported by a complete set of engineering drawings. This includes the panel general arrangement drawing showing the physical layout, circuit diagrams showing all power and control wiring, and an accurate bill of materials listing every component by manufacturer and part number. These drawings are produced using professional CAD software and are provided to the client in both printed and electronic formats. Accurate documentation is essential for ongoing maintenance and any future modifications.
Designed for Reliability and Ease of Maintenance
An industrial control panel that is difficult to work on costs money over its lifetime. We design panels with accessibility in mind, grouping related components logically, leaving clear access for maintenance activities, and using consistent cable identification and labelling throughout. Terminals are sized correctly and not overcrowded. Protection devices are correctly rated and clearly labelled. A well-designed panel is faster to fault-find, safer to work in, and easier to modify as your process evolves.
ABOUT US
Walker Electrical Developments was founded 25 years ago to serve the industrial and commercial electrical needs of businesses across Preston and Lancashire. From day one, we made a deliberate decision to focus exclusively on industrial and commercial work. That focus has shaped everything we do. Our electricians and engineers are experienced in environments that general contractors rarely encounter, including high-voltage distribution systems, motor drive installations, PLC control panels, and large-scale factory rewires. We are NICEIC registered and committed to delivering work that is safe, documented, and fully compliant.

We designed and built a multi-zone motor control panel for a plastics processing facility near Chorley. The panel controlled twelve motors across three process zones, with sequence start logic, emergency stop circuits, and fault indication for each zone. The design was completed over a two-week period, with the client reviewing and approving the drawings before build commenced. The panel was installed and commissioned on site with zero issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need to design an industrial control panel for my site near Preston?
To design an industrial control panel for a site near Preston, we need to understand the motors and equipment to be controlled, the required operating sequences and interlocks, the supply voltage and fault levels, any safety system requirements, and any relevant industry or regulatory standards that apply to your process. We gather this information during an initial project meeting and can usually produce a preliminary design within a few weeks.
Can you design a control panel that integrates with our existing PLC system in Preston?
Yes. Walker Electrical Developments designs control panels that integrate with existing PLC and automation systems across Preston and Lancashire. We work with all major PLC brands and can design the panel wiring to interface correctly with your existing control architecture. Call us on 07360 544264 to discuss your specific requirements.
Do you supply engineering drawings with your control panel builds in Preston?
Yes. Full engineering drawings are provided as standard with every control panel we design and build for clients in Preston. You receive the panel general arrangement drawing, full circuit diagrams, and a bill of materials in both printed and electronic formats. These are your property and form the ongoing engineering record for your installation.
