Capability statement
Practical electrical work for operating plant.
ARK Engineering Solutions is an Australian electrical engineering and services business delivering practical, site-ready solutions for underground and surface mining, renewable energy projects, and heavy industrial facilities. We combine qualified electrical trades capability with engineering and automation expertise, so clients can engage a single accountable partner from concept and design through installation, commissioning, and ongoing operational support.
Capability in more detail
01Underground and surface mining electrical
Support for fixed plant and mobile equipment electrical systems, including continuous miners and other production machinery, MCCs, distribution, and field instrumentation. Experience with the constraints of underground and operating surface sites — isolation, access, production windows, and site electrical standards.
02Power systems and heavy industrial
Distribution design support, transformer and switchroom interfaces, trefoil and installation methods suited to high-current industrial loads, earthing, and coordination with existing site infrastructure. Practical input during construction so designs remain buildable.
03Renewables and energy storage
Electrical engineering and installation support for solar and battery energy storage systems, including DC system considerations, protection device selection, enclosure and skid layouts, and integration with site power and control systems.
04Automation, drives, and process control
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix / Studio 5000 programming, EtherNet/IP (CIP) communications, explicit and implicit messaging, Modbus TCP/RTU integration, and VFD configuration. HMI alarm and display support, sequence logic, and commissioning of control systems on operating plant.
05Site supervision and project delivery
Day-to-day site leadership for electrical and construction scopes: pre-starts, permit and isolation interfaces, quality checks, progress reporting, and handover documentation. Suitable for brownfield upgrades, shutdown work, and new installations where an owner’s representative or electrical leads and supervisors are required.
Common packages
Engagements are scoped to the work. These are the packages clients usually ask for.
