Industrial Electrical Services in Melbourne

Industrial power panel wiring and installation by electrical engineers

ARA Electrical Services provides industrial electrical engineering, contracting, and maintenance across Melbourne and Victoria, including major cities across Australia. We work across food and beverage, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, dairy, mining, chemical, petrochemical, heavy clay, and general manufacturing, sectors where the performance and reliability of electrical systems has a direct bearing on production output, safety, and compliance.

Our capability spans the full scope of industrial electrical work, from engineering design and panel manufacturing through to major site installations, process and automation projects, HV infrastructure, hazardous area works, machine safety, and ongoing maintenance. That breadth means clients can work with one technically capable team across disciplines rather than managing multiple contractors with limited visibility of each other’s scope.

Industrial Electrical Engineering

ARA’s engineering team supports industrial projects from early-stage design through to installation and commissioning. Our engineering scope includes:

  • LV and HV power system design
  • Protection studies and fault level analysis
  • Switchboard and MCC design to AS/NZS 61439
  • Process automation and PLC programming
  • Control system and SCADA engineering
  • Machine safety design to AS 4024 and ISO 13849
  • Hazardous area classification and electrical design to AS/NZS 60079 series
  • Electrical drafting — schematics, single-line diagrams, loop diagrams, panel layouts
  • Specifications, data sheets, and cable schedules

Engineering is done in-house. That matters on complex industrial projects where design decisions need to be made quickly and by people who understand both the system and the site.

Major Industrial Installations

Our contracting teams deliver major electrical installations across industrial manufacturing and processing sites in Melbourne and Victoria. This covers new plant builds, large LV and HV infrastructure upgrades, process plant installations, switchboard and MCC replacements, and automation system installations — most of which are carried out on live sites with active production.

The standard of our installations is something we take seriously. Industrial plant is expected to run continuously and reliably. Electrical systems that are poorly installed or inadequately documented create problems that surface during commissioning, during maintenance, and at the worst possible times in a production cycle. ARA builds installations that hold up.

Industrial Electrical Maintenance

ARA provides planned and reactive electrical maintenance services for industrial facilities across Melbourne and Victoria. Planned maintenance programmes cover switchboard and MCC servicing, thermographic inspections, protection device testing, earth continuity verification, and condition-based assessment of electrical infrastructure. Reactive response covers fault finding, emergency repairs, and restoration of supply on live industrial sites.

For older facilities, maintenance is also the most practical way to identify where staged upgrades are needed before equipment condition creates a larger unplanned event. ARA’s maintenance teams understand industrial electrical systems well enough to make that assessment on site rather than simply completing a checklist and moving on.

Process Automation and Control Systems

Automation is a growing part of the work we do across manufacturing and processing clients. PLC programming, SCADA integration, process control, instrumentation, and motor control systems are engineered and installed as part of the broader electrical project scope. Control systems are not treated as a separate technology layer — they are designed in context with the power distribution, machine safety, and process requirements they need to support.

Hazardous Area and High-Voltage Services

ARA’s hazardous area capability covers classification, electrical design, installation to AS/NZS 60079 series zone requirements, and periodic inspection to AS/NZS 60079.17. Our high-voltage services cover LV and HV system design, substation and transformer installations, switchgear and protection works, and HV installation and commissioning to AS 2067 and applicable network provider requirements.

Both disciplines require a level of technical rigour that not all electrical contractors can provide. ARA has worked across these environments long enough to know where the compliance obligations sit and how to meet them without compromising on delivery or quality.
