RAWLINS WALES & PARTNERS
Electrical Engineer in Sandton

services Rawlins Wales offer a broad range of consulting services in both the electrical and electronic engineering disciplines of the built environment. All estimates are based on current market-related costs and projections. An important tool in energy saving and electrical waveform processing, power factor correction is a primary component of all our electrical distribution designs. Lighting or illumination is the deliberate application of light to achieve an aesthetic or practical effect. Application based lighting design is the most important factor in ensuring suitable work task environments and is especially important in highlighting important features of a building, particularly at night. Light sources, lamp types and color rendering must all be examined to achieve the desired effect with the least energy consumption. The inclusion of generators into current electrical building designs has become necessary for installations where maintaining up-time is crucial. Rawlins Wales specialise in the design and integration of standby systems. Rawlins Wales is responsible for the correct sizing, specification and integration of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), which provide emergency power and, depending on the topology, line regulation to connected equipment by supplying power from a dedicated source when utility power is not available. Design and specification of lightning protection systems is crucial to lessen damage to structures by lightning strikes. Good earthing is essential to serve as an adequate zero-voltage reference level for the entire electrical system in a building. Design of a structured cabling backbone provides a facility or building based infrastructure that allows the neat and accessible reticulation of all data and telephony points required. PABX’s and communication systems are specified and tendered, and incorporated into the electronic designs for a site. Fire detection systems can be provided from the basic early detection warning systems through to self-extinguishing gas expulsion systems. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) can be designed to monitor specific areas or an entire facility. Access control mechanisms can be included in building design to manage personnel movement and physical resources. Automatic deformation monitoring systems can prevent the loss of infrastructure and income. Public address systems incorporate verbal or electronic announcements as well as distribution of background music. Building management and automation are control systems designed to monitor and control the mechanical and electrical systems in a building to reduce building energy and maintenance costs when compared to a non-controlled building. Rawlins Wales can assist in the complete integration of these systems into a new or existing installation. An Energy Management System is designed specifically for the automated control and monitoring of the heating, ventilation, power and lighting needs of a building primarily to provide facilities for the reading of electricity, gas and water meters. In depth inspections and analysis of existing facilities reveal much of how their power is managed and consumed. Energy audits are undertaken to drive down operating costs by implementing new energy management strategies and efficient equipment.
