Inspection, Testing & Technical Assessment
Independent inspection, testing and technical assessment of electrical installations and equipment to identify defects, verify safety and provide clear recommendations for corrective action.
What We Do
Technical Assessment Throughout the Installation
We inspect and assess electrical installations and equipment to understand their condition, identify risks and deficiencies, verify relevant safety requirements and provide practical technical recommendations.
-
Inspection of electrical installations to identify visible defects, installation issues and areas requiring further investigation.
-
Testing and verification of electrical systems, protective measures and associated equipment using appropriate inspection and testing procedures.
-
Inspection and electrical safety testing of portable and movable electrical equipment to identify defects and reduce risks associated with continued use.
-
Assessment of the condition, performance and suitability of existing electrical installations and equipment.
-
Review of installations against applicable standards, regulations, project requirements and relevant specifications.
-
Investigation of electrical defects, recurring problems, abnormal operation and reported installation issues.
-
Technical investigation to help identify the causes of electrical faults, failures, nuisance tripping and other operational problems.
-
Inspection and review of electrical works before completion or handover to identify outstanding defects, incomplete works and documentation requirements.
-
Assessment of existing electrical installations before refurbishment, extension, change of use or significant electrical modifications.
WHEN WE ARE INVOLVED
When Technical Assessment Matters
Technical inspection is often required when a project is changing, an installation is not performing as expected, or a clear understanding of its condition is needed before making decisions.
Before Purchasing or Leasing
Independent technical assessment of an existing installation before committing to a property or facility.
Before Renovation or Extension
Assessment of existing electrical infrastructure before adding new loads or modifying the installation.
During Construction
Inspection of electrical works to identify installation issues before they become difficult or expensive to correct.
Before Handover
Review of completed electrical installations to identify outstanding defects and documentation requirements.
When Problems Occur
Investigation of faults, nuisance tripping, equipment failures, overheating and other electrical problems.
For Workplaces & Commercial Premises
Routine inspection and testing of portable electrical equipment, including PAT, to support electrical safety and ongoing maintenance requirements.
For Existing Buildings
Assessment of ageing or modified installations to establish their condition and identify priorities for improvement.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
Key Assessment Areas
An effective assessment goes beyond identifying visible defects. We consider the installation as a complete system and assess the factors that affect its safety, performance and suitability.
-
Assessment of protective devices, disconnection arrangements and coordination where applicable.
-
Review of earthing and bonding arrangements and their suitability for the installation.
-
Assessment of RCD protection, selection, operation and potential issues such as nuisance tripping.
-
Review of cable selection, installation conditions, visible damage, terminations and other relevant installation factors.
-
Assessment of distribution boards, circuits, identification, condition and available capacity.
-
Consideration of existing demand, available capacity and potential requirements for additional loads.
-
Assessment of electrical equipment, connections and installation conditions relevant to safety and operation.
-
Assessment and testing of portable and movable electrical equipment where PAT is included within the scope.
-
Review of available drawings, schedules, certificates, test results and other technical documentation.
-
Assessment against applicable standards, regulations, project specifications and requirements relevant to the installation.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Our deliverables provide clear technical information that can be used to understand the condition of an installation and determine the appropriate next steps.
-
Clear reports documenting observations, identified deficiencies and relevant technical findings.
-
Recorded test results and verification information for electrical installations, equipment and protective measures.
-
Documentation of tested portable appliances, test results, identified defects and equipment requiring corrective action.
-
Structured identification of defects, deficiencies and areas requiring corrective action.
-
Technical assessment against applicable standards, regulations, project requirements and specifications.
-
Assessment of the condition and suitability of existing electrical installations and equipment.
-
Identification of electrical safety concerns and conditions requiring priority attention.
-
Practical recommendations for corrective action, improvement, replacement or further investigation.
-
Technical information that can assist in defining the scope of required remedial electrical works.
-
Technical clarification and support following the assessment to help the client determine and implement the appropriate next steps.
