Before & After: A Switchboard That Was About to Fail
A real Sawtell Contracting NT job in Alice Springs — what we found inside an old switchboard, and what it looks like once it's done properly.
Loose or overheating connections like these are exactly what our Thermal Safety Check is designed to find — early, before they fail.
Electrical Problem? We'll Find It and Fix It Right the First Time
Electrical faults cause lost productivity and serious safety risks. Our team uses Level 1 Thermographic Inspections and predictive maintenance sensors to detect problems before they lead to failures — saving clients thousands in lost revenue and equipment replacement costs.
We've prevented major outages through:
- Early detection of overheating switchboards
- Identifying vibration and heat issues in industrial equipment
- Actionable reports and recommendations to ensure compliance
Experience matters. Every job is handled by certified technicians who understand how to work in high-demand, high-risk environments.
