| 51 Elektron Group Elektron picked up a Bronze Award for Innovation for their work on Hamilton Boys’ High School’s cricket dome. CONTRACTING a third of the cost of building a traditional structure, and we enjoyed the challenge of handling all its electrical requirements,” says Paul. Elektron’s work on the 40,000sqm Kmart Distribution Centre involved both routine and unique tasks. The 1250 lights they installed are automatically controlled throughout the building, using sensors to detect when people are present, and to make the most of daylight. In addition to fitting 28 sub-distribution boards running off two 3200-amp main switchboards, they also installed individual switchboards for the sortation units (robots), which are part of the automated packing system. As Paul explains, “It’s like a conveyor belt, but with robots moving along a track system to collect packages from the inwards goods area and transport them to fill boxes according to the orders. “The goods are then moved to the loading docks, ready for pickup and delivery wherever they need to go.” Elektron prides itself on its commitment to high quality, reflected in the skills and dedication of its 40-plus full-time staff. With a team of highly experienced professionals the company ensures that every project, regardless of size, meets the highest standards.
