Industry: Transport & Mobile Industrial Equipment
The Client
- Industry: Tanker Manufacturing
- Location: Victoria
- Type of Facility: OEM Manufacturer
A Victorian-based tanker manufacturer engaged CW to design and build electrical control panels for tankers deployed across Australia.
These tankers transport materials including bitumen, liquid sugar, and various chemicals — each requiring tailored control and safety systems.
The Operational Challenge
Each tanker configuration required a customised electrical control solution depending on the product being transported and the operating environment.
Systems needed to safely manage burners, pumps, temperature sensors, and associated safety devices while remaining robust for transport conditions and field operation.
The client required a collaborative partner to refine the industrial design, standardise where possible, and ensure each system was fully tested and commissioned prior to delivery.
Objectives
The client required:
- Collaborative industrial design of control systems
- Custom-built electrical control panels
- Integration of burners, pumps, temperature sensing, and safety devices
- Reliable operation in mobile and remote environments
- Full wiring, testing, and commissioning prior to handover
Our Solution
CW worked closely with the client to develop and refine a robust industrial control panel design suited to mobile tanker applications.
Works included:
- Electrical design collaboration and documentation
- Custom control panel construction
- Integration of burner control systems, pumps, temperature sensors, and safety circuits
- Full system wiring and functional testing
- Pre-delivery commissioning and verification
Across multiple builds, we continuously improved panel layout, component selection, and system efficiency to enhance reliability and serviceability.
Key Client Benefits
- Custom industrial control panel design
- Reliable integration of burners, pumps, and safety systems
- Proven deployment across 46 completed projects
- Continuous design improvements and refinement
- Pre-delivery testing and commissioning assurance
- Trusted long-term automation partner
The Result
CW has successfully delivered 46 control panel systems for this client, with each project contributing to ongoing design improvements and product refinement.
The control systems are now deployed nationwide across a fleet of tankers, providing safe, reliable operation for a range of transported materials.
The long-term partnership reflects the client’s confidence in CW’s technical capability and delivery consistency.
