The all-rounder advantage

Every trade your site runs on, from one contractor.

Electrical, air-conditioning, solar, refrigeration, switchboards, automation, pumps, data and the systems that tie them together, handled by one team on the one mobilisation. Nobody is standing in the plant room arguing about whose scope the fault sits in.

Before any of that, we want to understand how the operation runs. What the season looks like, what cannot afford to go down. Then we scope it: one assessment, one quote, one point of accountability.

Pumps and water

Solar pumping, pump stations, pivots and stock water.

Bore to tank, tank to trough, and everything powered and controlled in between. Most properties end up with a pump shop holding one half and an electrician holding the other, and the fault sits in the gap. Switch'D is the licensed electrical contractor who holds both: we build the board in our Chinchilla workshop, run the supply, fit the starter or the variable speed drive, set the level control and the dry-run protection, and warrant the gear and the install together.

Pump stations, bores and tanks
Supply, switchboard and control, with level control, dry-run protection and duty-standby changeover.
Pivots, laterals and irrigation
Irrigation switchboards, motor control and three-phase power out to the pivot or the lateral.
Troughs and stock water
Pump to trough, with float and level control and an alarm when it stops filling.
Solar pumping and remote monitoring
Solar bore pumps sized to the duty, with a trip alert straight to your phone.

Good to know

Questions, answered straight.

The questions operators and site managers ask before they put a contractor on site.

Get a quote

Yes. Electrical, air-conditioning, solar, refrigeration, switchboards, automation, pumps and communications can be assessed and quoted as one scope by one team. One mobilisation, one set of drawings, and nobody waiting on a second contractor.

Both, and that is the point. Switch'D takes the pump station, the supply, the switchboard, the control gear and the remote monitoring as one scope, and warrants the gear and the install together. Split between a pump specialist and an electrician, a fault sits in the gap where neither is responsible.

Yes. Switch'D is Chinchilla-based and travels. Crews, gear and custom-built switchboards go out across the Western Downs, South West and Central Queensland. We mobilise from Chinchilla and plan the travel into the job.

Electrical Contractor Licence 87232, QBCC licence 1216222 and ARCtick AU53685. Switch'D installs, maintains and commissions low, medium and high voltage.

Yes. Design and construct means one contractor carries the design, the project management, the material supply, the installation and the commissioning. Temporary site power can go in first and come out once the permanent supply is live.

The workmanship and the gear. A fault arising from our workmanship is returned to and rectified at no charge. The equipment carries its manufacturer warranty as well, subject to that manufacturer’s terms.
