Engineering, Consulting & Supervision

The brain of the project: studies, design and technical oversight for safe, efficient and standards-compliant execution.

Installation Feasibility

Technical and interconnection feasibility studies for new installations or expansions, assessing capacity, impact and regulatory compliance.

Engineering Supervision & Consulting

Technical, administrative and quality supervision of electrical projects at LV, MV, HV and extra-high voltage, ensuring compliance with the scope and the standard.

Pre-commissioning & Commissioning

Staged verification, energization and functional testing to ensure each system operates as designed before handover.

Construction & Installation

Execution of electrical works with qualified personnel, certified materials and safe practices, ready to operate.

Electrical Construction & Assembly

Lines, substations and electrical facilities assembled to high safety and quality standards.

MV Electrical Lines

Assembly of medium-voltage electrical lines, overhead or underground, for distribution and interconnection.

Electrical Substations

Assembly of medium-, high- and extra-high-voltage substations, including switching, protection and metering equipment.

Facilities & Generation Plants

Assembly of electrical facilities and generation plants at low and medium voltage, integrated and ready to operate.

Distribution Cabinets

Generation automation and control
PLC · SCADA · HMI

Automation, Supervision & Control

We design and implement the intelligence of your installation: PLC control logic, real-time monitoring (SCADA), operator interfaces (HMI) and modernization of existing protection systems.

  • Automation with Siemens and DEIF PLC
  • Supervision and control systems (SCADA)
  • HMI configuration and parameterization
  • Retrofit of electrical protection systems
  • Integration with panels, switchgear and MCC

Automation & Control Solutions

Robust control and supervision platforms for industrial and generation processes.

PLC Automation

Programming of Siemens and DEIF programmable logic controllers (PLC) for process, generation and switching control.

Supervision & Control (SCADA)

SCADA systems for visualization, data acquisition, alarms and remote operation of your installations in real time.

HMI Screens

Building, installation, configuration and parameterization of HMI screens for intuitive and safe operation.

Protection Retrofit

Modernization of electrical protection systems: replacement of electromechanical relays with digital ones, with new coordination and testing.

Drives & Power Quality

Efficient motor starting and reactive power compensation for a stable, low-cost grid.

Drives & Soft Starters

Installation of variable-frequency drives (VFD) and soft starters to control motor starting and operation, reducing stress and consumption.

Motor Starting & Commissioning

Starting, tuning and commissioning of motors and drives, validating parameters and performance in the field.

Capacitor Banks & APFC

Installation of reactive power compensation banks, fixed or automatic (APFC), to improve power factor and avoid penalties.

Active & Passive Filters

Installation of active or passive filters to mitigate harmonics, improve power quality and protect sensitive equipment.

Dynamic Compensation (SVG)

Dynamic reactive power compensation systems (SVG/STATCOM) for real-time response to variable loads and voltage stability.
