Electrical Installations and Maintenance - Design, Inspection-Testing, Maintenance and Resilience
Electrical failures in buildings and plants are rarely sudden: they grow from undersized circuits, poor protection coordination, missed inspections and maintenance that stops at visual checks. This programme gives engineers and technical managers a connected approach to designing, inspecting, testing and maintaining low-voltage installations so they stay safe, reliable and resilient.
Electrical installations often pass commissioning and then degrade without anyone noticing. Loads are added without recalculating circuits, protective devices are replaced with the wrong settings, earthing connections loosen, and periodic inspection is postponed. When a fault happens, the result can be fire, injury or a long outage of a critical service.
This programme follows the installation through its life. It starts with design fundamentals and protection, moves to initial verification and periodic inspection and testing, then covers risk-based maintenance and electrical safety, and ends with resilience: how to keep critical loads running through faults, supply failures and extreme conditions.
Built on recognised practice. The programme references the IEC 60364 series for low-voltage installations, BS 7671 where British practice applies, IEC 61439 for switchgear assemblies, NFPA 70B for electrical equipment maintenance and NFPA 70E for electrical safety in the workplace. Participants learn how these documents apply in practice and where local regulations take precedence.
Decisions this programme improves. Whether a design is adequately protected and coordinated, which inspection and test results require action, how often each asset should be maintained, when to replace rather than repair, and which critical loads need backup supply and how much.
How it is delivered. Twenty hours across five sessions, built around one running case: a commercial building with a critical data room. Participants review its single-line diagram, interpret a set of inspection and test results, build a risk-based maintenance plan and propose resilience improvements.
In-house option. For organisations, the programme can be tailored to your own installations, local wiring regulations, maintenance management system and asset data, and delivered for design, maintenance and facilities teams together.

Electrical faults found after energisation are expensive, dangerous and often avoidable: a missed wiring error, an untested protection setting or an unclear handover can damage equipment and delay operation. This programme gives engineers and technicians a structured method to plan, perform and document pre-commissioning tests, first energisation and on-load checks for HV and LV systems.
To equip electrical engineers and technical professionals with the skills and knowledge required to design, plan, and optimize electrical distribution networks—ensuring reliability, safety, scalability, and compliance with national and international standards.
Heat exchanger fouling, leaks and tube failures cost plants energy, throughput and unplanned shutdowns, often because design margins, operating practice and maintenance are not managed together. This programme gives engineers and technicians a practical understanding of how heat exchangers are designed, operated, monitored, inspected and maintained to keep them reliable and efficient.
