Jibralta — Singleton Army Base
Magazine REA electrical installation for the Singleton Range Magazine upgrade — 340 metres of underground conduit installation, Class D pits, switchboards and cabling.
Automation & Control Panel Manufacture
Automation equipment designed and manufactured in-house at our Cameron Park facility — panel building, VSD drives, PLC control and termination, built and tested before delivery to site.
Omega Chemicals — Plant Overhaul & New MCC
Design and build of the new motor control centre and plant main control panels — reactor, scrubber and storage controls — with electrical installation across a complete site overhaul including new tanks and plant.

Our Process
How We Work
Complex electrical work rewards discipline. Here's how every Electix project runs.
Scope
Understand the site
Site walk-through, classification and compliance review, and a clear scope before anything is quoted.
Plan
Design for compliance
Equipment selection and design to the applicable standards — AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 60079, GMP and network requirements.
Deliver
Execute on schedule
Licensed electricians, coordinated around your operations — staged works, shutdown windows and live-site constraints managed.
Close Out
Document everything
Test results, certificates, CAD drawings and dossier updates handed over — so your site stays audit-ready.
Credentials
Accreditation & Competency
Many contractors can install to a classification. Electix holds the nationally recognised competencies to classify, design, install and verify hazardous area installations end-to-end.
