Machinery installations, production line modifications, switchboard and MCC work, distribution, motors, drives and control alterations, delivered on sites that are still running.
Manufacturing, food production and processing sites across South East Queensland and Northern NSW.
Project work
Electrical project work on operating industrial sites, from a single machine through to staged work across a production area.
Electrical installation, connection and commissioning of new production machinery and process equipment, including supplies, isolation and control connections.
Changes to existing lines, equipment relocations, additions to running plant and the electrical alterations that go with them.
Sub-mains, distribution, supplies to new equipment and additional capacity for expanding plant.
Fitting off, installing, connecting and modifying switchboards and motor control centres, additional circuits and upgrades to existing boards.
Motor and drive installation, connection, configuration and commissioning, including starters, overloads and motor control circuits.
Control circuit modifications, field devices, sensors, actuators and field wiring installation and alteration.
Cable routes, tray, ladder, conduit and containment, installed for the environment the plant actually runs in.
Equipment we work across regularly:
Why it matters who installs it
Industrial installations are easier to maintain when they are built with the next fault, inspection or modification in mind. Sparktech's extensive fault-finding and maintenance experience gives us a practical view of what makes an installation straightforward, or painful, to work on later.
Working within the project design and your site requirements, that experience shows up in the practical detail:
Where we can see something that would cause problems for whoever maintains the plant later, we raise it with you or your engineer as part of the project rather than changing an engineered design on our own initiative.
How the scope works
For normal electrical installation work we can size and specify what the scope requires: circuits, protection, cabling, isolators, supplies and the associated installation requirements. We can also give practical input on installation, access and maintainability as the work is planned.
Formal engineering design, process design, machine safety design and switchboard engineering are supplied by you or your engineer, or coordinated with an appropriate specialist as part of the project. We work to that design rather than producing it.
We fit off, install, connect and modify supplied switchboards and motor control centres. Where a project needs a new manufactured board, we can coordinate that through a specialist board builder as part of the overall project rather than leaving you to arrange it separately. The board itself is manufactured by the board builder.
Projects range from a single machinery installation or modification through to production line work, switchboard and distribution work, controls and larger staged electrical projects. Where a project needs more labour than we carry day to day, we scale using trusted electricians and subcontractors.
Whether we take a project on depends on the scope, the programme, site requirements and current resourcing. Tell us what is involved and we will give you a straight answer.
Sparktech is an industrial electrical contractor rather than a multidisciplinary EPC contractor. Where a project requires complete greenfield facility delivery or broader multidisciplinary engineering capability outside our scope, we will identify that early rather than take on work we are not structured to deliver.
On safety circuits we fault find, repair, and install to a design supplied by you or your engineer. We do not design machine safety systems, perform safety validation, or issue safety system certification. We sign off our own electrical wiring.
Controls and automation
Sparktech provides the electrical and controls work directly, including control panel modifications, field wiring, sensors and actuators, drives and the commissioning of electrical and control components.
Where specialist PLC or HMI programming is required, we can engage trusted automation partners and coordinate that work as part of the overall project. Depending on how the project is structured, Sparktech can carry the overall scope so you are not running an electrical contractor and a programmer in parallel.
More detail on the controls side is on the PLC, VSD, motors and controls page.
On site
Most industrial projects happen on a site that still has to make product. How the work is staged usually matters as much as how it is installed.
On commissioning and handover we complete the testing the work requires, and issue certificates of testing and compliance, test result sheets and job reports with photos.

Where we work
South East Queensland and Northern NSW, from Tweed Heads through the Gold Coast, Yatala, Beenleigh and Logan to Brisbane. Licensed in both states, so sites either side of the border are equally in scope.
