Design that’s right the first time.
Over 25 years of in-house electrical and mechanical design. We deliver a complete, compliant design pack tailored to every project, to ensure manufacture and commissioning runs as seamlessly as possible.
25+ years designing complex electrical control systems.
Our design team pairs deep experience with the right tools to deliver a comprehensive suite of design documents, tailored to the specific needs of any project.
On the electrical side, we use AutoCAD Electrical alongside our own in-house software, CADsys, to draft efficiently and accurately. Our mechanical engineering team uses SolidWorks and our in-house FabSys software to design custom enclosure solutions for projects of any size, and Revit to model containerised switchrooms in full 3D.
Whatever your project requires.
Every project and client is different. Our design packs are built to suit, and can include:
- Single line diagrams
- Detailed schematics (415VAC distribution, motor starter, control, I/O)
- Panel termination diagrams
- Internal & external general arrangement drawings
- Equipment lists
- Switchroom Layouts, elevations and 3Ds
- Cable schedules
- Field termination diagrams
- Arc flash study
- Load study
- Discrimination study
- Harmonic study
- Heat loss calculations
- Fire ratings up to 120/120/120
- UPS sizing calculations
- I/O lists
- Network architecture designs
- Lighting design
- Earthing connection design
- O&M and maintenance manuals
- Functional design specifications
A glimpse of our design output.
Designed and built to comply.
Every switchboard is designed and built to comply with all relevant Australian standards, including:
We supply to sites both nationally and internationally.
Full compliance with your specs, and your client’s.
Metroid ensures full compliance with both your requirements and those of your end client, from the first drawing to the final approved pack.
We’ve delivered projects for hundreds of high-profile end clients across mining, municipal water, food and beverage manufacturing, energy and other critical infrastructure applications.
Nine steps from project kick-off to production-ready.
Sales to design handover
The sales and estimating team you’ve been dealing with sit down with the design team, including your assigned Project Manager and Project Engineer, for a detailed handover of every requirement. Nothing is lost in translation.
Client kick-off meeting
Our team sits down with your team to walk through the project in detail. We align on scope, expectations, key dates, documentation and how we’ll communicate, and answer any early questions, so everyone starts on the same page.
‘Full-kit’ process
Before any design work starts, your Project Engineer builds a detailed summary that captures all the specific requirements of your project, so the team begins with the complete picture.
Electrical design & drafting
Your Project Engineer works alongside our drafting engineers to produce your design documentation, checking in with you on any queries along the way.
Mechanical design & drafting
In parallel with the electrical design, our mechanical engineers develop any custom enclosures, kiosks, mounting frames or platforms your project requires.
Switchroom design
Where your project includes a containerised switchroom, our engineers develop the complete switchroom design, coordinating the structural, mechanical and electrical layouts. We model it in full 3D using Revit, confirming equipment access, cable routing, HVAC and services all fit together before fabrication begins.
Design submission & review
We submit the completed design pack to you and your end client for review. Any revisions are made and the drawings resubmitted until everyone is satisfied.
Design approval
Once you and your end client are happy with the pack, you formally approve the drawings for manufacture.
Production preparation
With drawings approved, we finalise the bill of materials, procure all components, prepare the production documentation and schedule your project for the factory floor.
