Electrical contractors: LIKE Electrical

LIKE Electrical undertook the electrical part of the new factory, both designing and installing trays, panels, cabling and network systems. The scale of the factory meant that most of the work had to be completed via access equipment such as scissor lifts and boom lifters. Check out some of the specific work below:

  • TRAY SYSTEM: designed and installed the tray system which is 5-6m in the air and suspended from the roof beams.
  • PANEL WITH SURGE PROTECTION: installed the new 800A MCCB panel with surge protection to supply power to all 5 ovens and 12 CNC machines
  • POWER CABLING: installed all the power cabling which consisted of over 7000m, 450m of 50mm 5 core HO7 and 1800m of 16mm 5 core HO7 weighing over 3.5 tons
  • NETWORK / DATA SYSTEM: designed and installed the network/data system consisting of 1 main Comms cab and then 5 remote comms cab linked with SWA fibre cable. Localised cabling in the plant area was all CAT6a with the cable drops to the outlets contained in steel conduit. All localised cabling in the offices was CAT6
  • COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM: installed the compressed air system which consisted of a main steel pipe run in 2 inch which then supplied vital air to various machines through ¼ inch pipe, ½ pipe and 1 ½ pipe
  • ADDITIONAL LABOUR: supplied labour to construct the industrial ovens, track system and water pipe
  • ELECTRICAL TESTING & CERTIFICATION: Electrical testing completed and all required certified documentation supplied.

Ongoing electrical maintenance support

Following the successful completion of the project, LIKE Electrical continues to work with Supreme Wheels supplying regular maintenance for the filters, pumps, fans etc.
