Switchgear and Control
The right switchgear and control systems are essential for safe, efficient electrical power distribution. At HG Projects, we deliver fully specified solutions that protect your infrastructure, manage power flow, and keep your operations running smoothly. Whether you’re planning a new installation or upgrading existing equipment, we ensure your system is built to perform, comply, and last.
Reliable Switchgear and Control Systems for Safe, Efficient Power Management
Switchgear and control systems are the backbone of any well-functioning electrical setup. They isolate faults, protect sensitive equipment, and provide the control needed to operate motors, machinery, and automated systems safely. At HG Projects, we design and install low- to medium-voltage systems tailored to your environment, whether it’s an industrial facility, commercial site, or critical infrastructure.
We manage the process from design to commissioning, ensuring your setup supports daily operations and long-term resilience. With our expert knowledge, you gain the peace of mind that every component is correctly installed, configured and ready to respond when it matters most.

Powering a Critical Radar Station Against the Odds
Innovative Engineering for Maximum Reliability
The old generators were carefully removed using a small HIAB vehicle, ensuring zero disruption to critical operations. The new units were positioned over a bunded area to prevent leaks, reflecting a commitment to environmental protection. To support reliable long-term operation at this remote site, several engineering decisions were made to reduce maintenance requirements and ensure continuous power availability.
Extended Service Intervals
An advanced oil make-up system, featuring a large storage tank and additional filters, was installed to extend service intervals to a remarkable 2,000 running hours.
This significantly reduces the frequency of maintenance visits, which is particularly important for remote installations where site access is limited.
Engine Selection for Remote Operation
Deutz oil/air-cooled engines were chosen for their reliability and minimal maintenance requirements.
Unlike traditional liquid-cooled systems, oil/air-cooled engines remove the need for complex cooling circuits, making them particularly well suited to remote locations where simplicity and durability are critical.
Redundant Power Configuration
The control system was strategically configured to ensure continuous power. By alternating runtime between the two sets, operational hours are evenly shared, preventing excessive wear on any single unit. If one generator experiences a fault, the second set automatically assumes the load, ensuring uninterrupted power to the radar station’s monitoring systems.
Our Switchgear and Control Services Include:
