Ocean Reef Marina

Scope of Work

MECS Electrical & Controls supplied, installed, and commissioned a new mechanical services switchboard serving the marine rescue building at Ocean Reef Marina. The board acts as the central power hub, ensuring pumps, ventilation, and other critical systems operate reliably so the rescue team can focus on saving lives.

Project Details

Execution Strategy 

 

Installation and Wiring 

  • Positioned the switchboard within a confined plant room, coordinating lift access and clearances. 
  • Completed all terminations for pumps, fans, and control circuits, integrating with existing site infrastructure. 
  • Applied stainless‑steel fabrication and corrosion‑resistant fittings to suit the coastal environment. 

 

Testing and Commissioning 

  • Performed insulation, continuity, and functional testing on every circuit. 
  • Simulated emergency scenarios to verify seamless change‑over and redundancy. 
  • Logged and documented test results for client hand‑over and future maintenance. 

 

Project Challenges and Solutions 

 

Working in Tight Spaces 

  • Sequenced installation activities to minimise congestion and keep access paths clear for other trades. 

 

Dynamic Construction Programme 

  • Adjusted work stages to meet shifting deadlines, holding daily coordination huddles with site management. 

 

Coastal Environmental Factors 

  • Selected marine‑grade components and applied protective coatings to mitigate salt‑air corrosion. 

 

Client Response 

The site team was happy with MECS for completing the switchboard installation, testing, and sign‑off without disruption. Their feedback highlighted the crew’s professionalism, adaptability, and zero re‑work record despite space constraints and a busy site.
