Inspection & Testing

Electrical Asset Integrity Management

Electrical assets—from switchgear and transformers to cables and control systems—are fundamental to your facility’s safety and performance. We offer end-to-end asset integrity management, helping clients establish and maintain a clear, data-driven understanding of their equipment’s condition. Through detailed inspections, lifecycle assessments, and strategic recommendations, we help prioritise maintenance, modernisation, or replacement—maximising asset life and reducing unplanned downtime.

Condition Assessment & Compliance

Our inspection teams combine visual assessments with targeted electrical testing to ensure systems meet local electrical codes, international standards, and manufacturer guidelines. We look deeper than compliance—evaluating the actual condition and operational risk of your equipment to prevent costly failures. This includes estimating remaining useful life and advising on upgrades, retrofits, or targeted repairs.

Infrared Thermography

Overheating in electrical equipment is often an early sign of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Using infrared thermography, we perform non-intrusive thermal imaging surveys that reveal hotspots and hidden faults before they escalate. This proactive approach reduces safety risks, improves system reliability, and supports predictive maintenance strategies.

Partial Discharge Testing

Partial discharge (PD) activity within insulation systems is a key indicator of deteriorating medium and high voltage equipment. Our PD testing services detect and localise these defects early, helping you plan repairs or replacements before catastrophic failure occurs—particularly for critical assets like transformers, switchgear, and cables.

Power Quality Analysis

Unstable voltage, harmonics, and other power quality issues can lead to equipment damage, operational inefficiency, or downtime. Our engineers use advanced power quality analysis to identify and quantify disturbances across your electrical network. We then recommend practical solutions—from filtering to system redesign—to protect sensitive loads and optimise energy performance.

Energy Efficiency Improvement Studies – Industrial & Commercial

We provide comprehensive energy efficiency improvement studies for industrial facilities and commercial buildings. Our approach combines deep technical expertise with advanced analytical tools to help clients reduce energy consumption, cut operational costs, and meet sustainability and decarbonisation targets.

Our studies cover the entire project cycle — from detailed audits and diagnostics to actionable design recommendations and implementation support.

Our services include:

▪️Detailed energy audits: Site surveys and data-driven analysis of electrical and mechanical systems, identifying inefficiencies in equipment, process loads, HVAC, lighting, and building services.

▪️Load profiling & monitoring: Measurement and analysis of real-time energy use to uncover demand peaks, power factor issues, and areas for load optimisation.

▪️Process & equipment optimisation: Recommendations for upgrades or retrofits (e.g., variable speed drives, efficient motors, LED lighting, heat recovery) tailored to site-specific needs.

▪️Power quality & harmonic studies: Analysis to reduce losses, protect sensitive equipment, and improve overall system performance.

▪️Integration of renewables & storage: Feasibility studies for onsite PV, battery storage, or CHP systems to lower grid dependency and reduce carbon footprint.

▪️Control & automation strategies: Design of smart control systems (e.g., EMS, BMS, demand response) for dynamic load management and peak shaving.

▪️Techno-economic analysis: Comprehensive cost-benefit assessments, payback calculations, and lifecycle cost analysis to prioritise energy-saving investments.

▪️Implementation roadmap & verification: Action plans aligned with client budgets and targets, plus measurement and verification strategies to track savings post-implementation.

Whether supporting a heavy industrial plant, a multi-use commercial complex, or specialised facilities such as hospitals and data centres, OEC Power & Control delivers energy efficiency solutions that improve competitiveness, sustainability, and operational resilience.
