Queensland-wide commercial switchboard project delivery

Brisbane-based, with active switchboard project history across South East Queensland, regional Queensland, mining sites and international major works.

Commercial Switchboards is the specialist switchboard division of SEQ Sparky Pty Ltd, based in Brisbane. We deliver main switchboard upgradesindustrial switchboards and MCCsHV switchboards and substationssupply upgrades and CT meteringswitchboard thermal imagingrepairs and emergency response and ongoing switchboard maintenance across Queensland.

Our work is organised in tiers based on travel distance, site complexity and scope.

  • Brisbane metro plus Logan, Ipswich, Redland and Moreton Bay. Standard coverage zone.
  • South East Queensland. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim.
  • Regional Queensland. By arrangement, FIFO when scope justifies it.
  • Mining and industrial. FIFO available, hazardous area and HV-qualified.
  • International major works. By arrangement for greenfield mining and process plant projects.

Brisbane is our base. We deliver switchboard upgrades, MCC builds, HV substation work, supply upgrades, thermal imaging and ongoing maintenance contracts to commercial and industrial sites across Brisbane CBD, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, East Brisbane and West Brisbane, plus the surrounding councils of Logan, Ipswich, Redland City and Moreton Bay.

Reference projects in this zone include Crestmead Central Shopping Centre (Logan), Mount Cotton Central (Redland) and Stones Corner Shopping Precinct (Brisbane inner south), alongside ongoing maintenance contracts across multi-tenant retail and commercial sites.

We regularly travel to the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Lockyer Valley and Scenic Rim for switchboard project work. Travel time is factored into project scoping rather than charged at premium rates. Typical SEQ projects fit inside our standard delivery model.

For multi-site portfolios where a body corporateretail landlordaged care operator or facility manager has assets spread across SEQ, we structure delivery to coordinate across sites where it makes commercial sense.

Regional Queensland work is delivered by arrangement. Wide Bay, Central Queensland, Far North Queensland and Western Queensland sites are within scope where the project size and scope justify the travel and accommodation logistics.

For multi-stage regional switchboard programs we typically batch sites into a single mobilisation window to keep travel efficient and predictable.

Reference Project

Stanthorpe Secure Storage

Greenfield 250A switchboard install with three distribution boards and 12m carpark lighting.

Anthony brings 10+ years of underground and open-cut mine switchboard experience. That includes three years as senior shift electrician at Lady Loretta Mine in North West Queensland and twelve months delivering the electrical infrastructure for a greenfield open-cut gold mine in central Africa.

That depth means Commercial Switchboards can self-perform work that most general electrical contractors subcontract out:

  • HV switching to 11kV with arc-flash PPE
  • Underground substation installation and 11kV ring main units
  • MCC and VSD control board build and commissioning
  • Transportable switchroom integration (MCC, fire, HVAC and PLC)
  • Multi-MW diesel power generation maintenance
  • Hazardous area compliance

FIFO arrangements are standard for mining and major industrial projects in Queensland. Equipment, scope and rosters are confirmed before mobilisation.

For sector-specific switchboard scope, see Mining Switchboards.

For major switchboard project delivery internationally, Commercial Switchboards has acted as the sole electrical delivery partner on greenfield mining and process plant projects by arrangement.

Reference Project

Greenfield open-cut gold mine

Full electrical scope including multi-generator power plant, wash plants, conveyors, VSDs across the site and complete base build infrastructure (accommodation village, mess, workshops, compounds, communications, offices). Twelve months of design and international procurement preceded mobilisation, with site visits to multiple countries to inspect equipment before order.

International scope is reserved for major works only and is not part of our day-to-day service offering.
