Electrical Infrastructure for Warehousing
Modern warehouses and distribution centres require efficient, reliable electrical systems that support 24/7 operations. We design and install electrical infrastructure optimised for logistics environments, from high-bay lighting to vehicle charging systems.
High-Bay LED Lighting Systems
Energy-efficient LED high-bay lighting providing appropriate lux levels for warehouse operations. We design lighting layouts that ensure even coverage, minimise shadows in racking areas, and significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional discharge lighting. Occupancy sensing and daylight-linked control systems further reduce running costs.
Loading Bay Electrical Systems
Complete electrical installations for loading bays including:
- Dock leveller and door power supplies
- Loading bay lighting with external indicators
- Trailer park electrical hookups
- Weatherproof external sockets
- Loading bay safety lighting and emergency systems
Fork-Lift Truck Charging Infrastructure
Dedicated electrical installations for fork-lift battery charging including high-current supplies, battery charging station electrical infrastructure, appropriate isolation and protection devices, and ventilation for battery charging areas where required.
Warehouse Power Distribution
Main switchgear and distribution systems designed for warehouse loads including power for conveyor systems, automated storage and retrieval systems, packing stations and workstations, and office and welfare areas. Systems are designed with capacity for future expansion.
Fire Detection & Emergency Systems
Electrical installations for fire detection systems appropriate to warehouse environments, emergency lighting to BS 5266 standards, and emergency alarm systems. We ensure compliance with fire safety regulations for large open-plan buildings.
CCTV & Security Systems
Electrical infrastructure for comprehensive security systems including CCTV coverage, intruder detection systems, and access control for secure areas. Power and data cabling for monitoring and alarm systems.
Energy Efficiency
Warehouses are high energy consumers. Modern LED lighting can reduce energy costs by 60-70% compared to old discharge lighting. We provide energy consumption analysis, recommendations for efficiency improvements, and lighting control systems for automatic scheduling. Many lighting upgrade projects have payback periods of 2-3 years through energy savings.
Compliance & Certification
All warehouse electrical installations are completed to BS 7671 standards with comprehensive testing and certification. We provide electrical safety documentation acceptable to insurers and regulatory bodies.
