Quartzelec

Quartzelec is a leading UK independent electrical engineering group delivering design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance and service solutions to customers across a broad range of industrial and commercial sectors. An engineering authority with over 100 years' experience and technical expertise in the field of electrical contracting and the repair and maintenance of motors and generators. As a Quartzelec customer you'll benefit from a smart, proactive approach, quality which befits the lifecycle of the project and service which meets or exceeds your expectations.

In response to the UK's Electricity At Work Regulations (1989), Electrical System owners and operators are legally required to ensure that their assets are suitable, efficient, and responsibly maintained so as to prevent dangerous situations arising during fault conditions or under normal operation. It is therefore important to understand the responsibilities and risks both at the outset, i.e. the design stage, as well as during the lifecycle of your network as it changes and develops according to site conditions, age, and your specific requirements.

You can depend on Quartzelec's experience and skills to underpin the integrity of your key installations thanks to our customer-driven ethos of quality and service. Whatever the type of electrical installation, we work with the same project management methodologies and care to ensure satisfaction. Whether the project demands HV contestable connections through to sub mains distribution, high specification, integrated data and access control to state-of-the-art lighting configurations, we excel at introducing innovative energy management solutions and modern, intelligent and automated schemes.

Quartzelec is well versed in the supply, installation, maintenance, service and commissioning of rotating electrical machinery and associated static plant. From emergency site repairs to total condition based maintenance, Quartzelec offer the full 360 degrees service for on-site support. Our teams of engineers can take on the simplest of projects to the most complex and as an independent service organisation our experience covers a wide array of OEM's and electrical equipment manufacturers. Of course, our onsite services are supported by our extensive worldwide workshop facilities should further refurbishment work be required.

With a unique heritage and our knowledge in power engineering, Quartzelec has gained a reputation for providing high quality engineering support in the field of Power Electrical Services. Quartzelec aim to ensure that your system is fully compliant with all relevant British Regulations and Standards, whether inputting at the critical design stages, or through their final installation and commissioning. Our in-house design team offer full turn-key capabilities for new or existing projects. Our engineers are suitably qualified to deliver a range of services useful at critical design stages and during planned expansions or system reconfiguration.

Electrical installations will deteriorate with use and over time. Therefore it is vital that your systems and installations are regularly inspected and tested by a suitably competent organisation, so ensuring safety compliance - protecting your employees and your assets. Quartzelec are fully certified to carry out all types of periodic test and inspection work as well as fixed wiring inspection. Working within the field of Ex hazardous area installations, we can provide full inspection and certification to BS EN 60079-17:2014 and IEC 60079-17:2013.

When it comes to rotating electrical equipment, two things are inevitable: wear and tear. As far as you can tell, your motor or generator may be functioning perfectly, but how can you tell what is going on inside your machine? Developed by Quartzteq, a Quartzelec company, Lifeview is a fully flexible and modular condition monitoring solution to evaluate the health of your rotating electrical assets - a key component in reducing total cost ownership over the lifetime of a machine and an integral element of any structured maintenance and repair strategy.

On-site or workshop based, Quartzelec provides repair, rewind, refurbishment and retrofitting solutions of rotating electrical machines (AC/DC motors and generators) from 415V up to 22kV. We offer upgrades, as well as the repair of static and rotating mechanical plant and associated excitation control systems. Workshop engineering and on-site diagnosis is a key part of the service. With our independent coil manufacturing facility and extensive test capabilities, Quartzelec can provide a unique repair and refurbishment solution.

Our involvement in building services engineering is extensive and covers a wide range of integrated service solutions that encapsulates Quartzelec's full range of M&E activities. Supporting new-builds, renovations and refurbishments of all buildings and infrastructures with a total M&E package. Understanding our client's individual expectations we consider to be one of our key strengths and allows us to provide an exceptional package of capabilities that we have delivered on projects that include; construction companies, developers, local authorities, housing associations and NHS trusts, plus many more.

Our inspection diagnostic and life assessment testing services ensure complete insight into all aspects of performance of your rotating electrical equipment and associated static plant. Our dedicated engineers have the advantage of cross-referencing all diagnostic measurements taken with a bank of 'base' results taken from the multiple machines we have inspected across the globe.

When it comes to selecting your key contractors, within the field of electrical engineering your choice can prove to be one of the most critical. As global experts in the fields of electrical contracting and rotating electrical machines we have key skills in industry, infrastructure and the service sector with specific technical experience and capability to work in the most complex of environments. We work diligently to provide a unique package of capabilities to a wide variety of customers including; power distribution utilities, manufacturing and process companies, NHS trusts, local authorities, housing associations and developers.
