Manufacturing and processing plants live and die by uptime. Every hour a line stands still costs money — so electrical and automation work in these environments has to be planned, coordinated and done right the first time. That’s the standard CW Electrical & Automation works to.
We’ve upgraded facility electrical systems for a recycling and resource recovery plant, installed heating calender systems, built custom control panels for tanker manufacturing, and delivered thermal imaging inspections across multi-building industrial facilities. We work in live plants, around live production, week in and week out.
From a single machine control to plant-wide infrastructure, you deal with one team for design, installation, automation and ongoing maintenance — with the risk planning and communication that operations and maintenance managers rely on.
Work is planned around your production reality — staged installations, scheduled isolations and tested changeovers that keep lines running and make restarts predictable, not hopeful.
From optimising one PLC or replacing one control panel to upgrading a whole facility’s electrical infrastructure, the same team scales with the job — recent work spans single machine controls to full plant upgrades.
Thermal imaging inspections and preventative maintenance programs identify overheating connections, failing components and overloaded circuits before they become unplanned downtime.
Live industrial environments demand disciplined isolation, risk assessment and documentation. Our work is delivered to Australian standards with the paper trail your safety systems and auditors expect.
Our recent plant work spans facility upgrades, machine automation and the maintenance programs that keep both reliable.
Switchboards, distribution, lighting and infrastructure upgrades — including a complete facility electrical upgrade for a recycling and resource recovery plant and installation of a heating calender production system.
PLC and HMI programming, machine control optimisation and custom control panel design and manufacture in our own workshop — including panels built for tanker manufacturing and specialised industrial processes.
Planned site electrical maintenance, thermal imaging of switchboards and plant across multi-building facilities, and electrical safety compliance that keeps equipment reliable and your site audit-ready.

Yes — most of our work happens in live industrial environments. We plan staged installations, isolations and changeovers with your operations team, work to your site’s induction and permit systems, and schedule disruptive tasks for windows that suit production.
Both ends of the scale. We optimise single machines and build individual control panels, and we deliver plant-wide work like the complete facility electrical upgrade we carried out for a recycling and resource recovery plant. The same team and standards apply either way.
Yes — control panel design and manufacture happens in our own Keilor Park workshop, where panels are built and tested before delivery. That includes custom panels for specialised applications like tanker manufacturing.
Thermal imaging finds overheating terminations, failing breakers and overloaded circuits while equipment is running — no shutdown required. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent electrical failures and fires, and we’ve delivered inspections across multi-building industrial facilities.
Yes. We provide ongoing site electrical maintenance for industrial facilities — scheduled preventative maintenance, breakdown support, thermal imaging and compliance testing under one arrangement, with documentation that builds a service history for your plant.
