From the beginning
The Electrical Inspector Ltd was created in 2008 in response to a request from a local gas treatment plant looking for a hazardous areas electrical inspection service provider able to perform Periodic Assessments on their equipment.
After a trial period we were asked to include the inspection of newly installed equipment and to carry out pre-delivery inspections on equipment about to be brought in from overseas.
Since then, we have applied our version of "Industry-Best work practises" to the inspection and certification of all types and sizes of hazardous area installations from petrol stations and gas production plants to various chemical, paint manufacturing and power production plants.
