Powerline installation.

The problem

Electrical work is the one trade where a shortcut stays invisible until it is expensive. An undersized cable, a badly torqued termination or a DB board nobody has opened in a decade will run fine for years and then take out a production line. Powerline started in electrical work fourteen years ago, and it remains the backbone of everything else we install.

What we do

Electrical: the scope in detail.

Installation and distribution

New installations, distribution board builds and upgrades, reticulation, sub-mains, lighting and power layouts — installed to specification and to SANS.

Inspection and certification

Testing, verification and issue of the Certificate of Compliance, including remedial work where an existing installation does not pass.

Advanced metering

Prepaid and smart metering, sub-metering and monitoring so consumption is measured accurately and recovered fairly.

Fault finding and repair

Systematic fault diagnosis on live installations, backed by thermographic scanning where the fault is intermittent or hidden.

What you receive

Not a promise. A document.

Installed and tested electrical installation
Certificate of Compliance to SANS 10142-1
As-built distribution board schedule and circuit labelling
Metering configuration and commissioning record
Test results — earth continuity, insulation resistance, earth leakage, polarity

Standards we work to

SANS 10142-1 — the wiring code for low-voltage installations
Occupational Health and Safety Act — Electrical Installation Regulations
SANS 10400-O and -P where installations affect building regulations
Municipal and local authority supply requirements

Typical timeline

Fault finding and small works are usually same-week. Distribution board upgrades and new installations are programmed against your operational windows — after hours and weekend work included where a shutdown is not an option.

What this looks like on a Powerline job.

Our own photographs. Nothing here is a stock image.

Questions

Asked often.

Can you work after hours to avoid shutting down operations?

Yes. On commercial and industrial sites most of our board work and reticulation is scheduled into agreed operational windows, including nights and weekends.

Do you supply the Certificate of Compliance for work you install?

Yes. Any installation we complete is tested and certified by us, and the certificate is issued with the handover documentation rather than chased afterwards.

Do you handle load-shedding resilience?

We install and maintain the electrical infrastructure that backup systems depend on — changeover, essential-load separation, distribution and metering — and size it against measured demand from an energy audit.
