Protecting People, Equipment & Infrastructure from Electrical Faults

Earthing design is a vital component of electrical engineering. It ensures that high-voltage assets, industrial facilities, and commercial developments remain safe, compliant, and protected against electrical faults. A well-designed earthing system safely dissipates fault currents into the ground, preventing dangerous voltages from endangering workers, equipment, and the public.

We specialise in earthing system design and modelling for private high-voltage networks, including those found in:

  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities
  • Industrial plants and substations
  • Mining operations and remote sites
  • Embedded networks in residential and commercial developments

We use advanced techniques and software to assess electrical fault risks and design grounding systems that meet Australian safety standards. This includes step and touch voltage analysis, fault current dissipation modelling, and surge and lightning protection integration.

Whether creating new earthing systems or upgrading existing ones, our focus is ensuring maximum safety and reliability while mitigating operational risks.

Our Earthing Design Capabilities

Earthing System Design & Modelling

We design safe, effective grounding systems for substations, switchgear, transformers, and industrial plants, ensuring proper fault current dissipation.

Our systems minimise hazardous step and touch voltages, ensuring worker and public safety.

Using advanced software, we model fault conditions, assess risks, and optimise grounding layouts to ensure compliance and safety.

We safeguard equipment and infrastructure from power surges caused by lightning or transient events.

Our designs meet Australian standards, including AS/NZS 3000, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

We verify earthing system performance through on-site testing, ensuring reliability under real-world conditions.

frequently asked questions
What is earthing design, and why is it important?
Earthing design safely dissipates electrical faults into the ground, protecting people, equipment, and infrastructure. It ensures safety, compliance, and stability in high-voltage systems, industrial plants, and commercial developments.
Proper earthing:  
  • Minimises step and touch voltages, preventing electric shocks.
  • Directs fault currents away from sensitive components, avoiding damage.
  • Reduces fire risks and system failures caused by electrical surges.
We use 3D simulation to model fault conditions, identify hazards, and optimise designs for maximum safety and compliance.
Lightning and surge protection:
  • Safeguards equipment from power surges.
  • Reduces costly downtime and failures in critical facilities.
  • Ensures reliable power distribution in high-risk environments.
We design systems that meet Australian safety standards like AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 1768. Our team conducts assessments, risk analyses, and compliance reviews.
Consult our engineering team to:
  • Assess your site’s risks and needs.
  • Develop customised, compliant designs using advanced modelling.
  • Ensure regulatory adherence and reliable performance.
