Description

PMK undertook a comprehensive inspection and fixed wire testing programme at a large aggregate processing facility, featuring a predominantly industrial-grade electrical infrastructure. The objective was to deliver an up-to-date and detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) in compliance with BS 7671.

The scope of the project included:

• Testing of approximately 400 circuits across 20 distribution boards.
• Coverage of both administrative areas and production/storage zones.
• Evaluation of wiring systems and accessories designed for heavy-duty, industrial environments.

The facility presented harsh and challenging environmental conditions, necessitating the use of specialised PPE and site-specific risk mitigation strategies. Through efficient planning and coordination, the engineering team ensured minimal disruption to operations while achieving a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the electrical installation.

Additional services delivered:

• Emergency Lighting Survey and 3-hour Discharge Test carried out on all luminaires in accordance with BS 5266, to verify functionality and compliance.
• A detailed Thermographic Survey conducted on all primary electrical panels and associated apparatus, identifying potential thermal anomalies and preventative maintenance needs.

Outcome

The project was completed safely and efficiently, with all findings clearly documented in structured reports. The client received a full overview of their installation’s condition, compliance status, and any recommended remedial actions to maintain operational integrity and safety.
