ATEX Certified for Hazardous Zones

Electrical Installation

Seamlessly integrating mechanical and electrical engineering. Megtraco provides specialized industrial electrical installations, focusing on the complex control systems required for gas plants, manufacturing facilities, and hazardous environments.

Quick Answer

What makes Megtraco's electrical installations different? We specialize in ATEX-certified installations for explosive and hazardous zones, combined with LPG system integration — a critical capability for gas plants and industrial facilities that generalist electricians cannot safely provide.

Industrial Electrical Engineering for Hazardous Environments

Most electrical contractors are not qualified to work in areas classified as hazardous zones under ATEX (or equivalent IECEx) standards. Megtraco’s electrical team specialises in exactly this environment — integrating LPG plant control systems, motor control centres, and facility power distribution in the complex, high-stakes conditions of industrial energy facilities.

Key Capabilities

  • Motor Control Center (MCC) and PLC panel design and assembly — custom-built to your process requirements.
  • ATEX-certified electrical installations for explosive and hazardous zones — compliant with IEC 60079 standards for gas and vapour environments.
  • Comprehensive facility rewiring and power load balancing — for facility upgrades, expansions, and regulatory compliance retrofits.
  • LPG plant control system integration — interlocking gas detection, solenoid valve control, and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems.

Why This Matters for LPG Facilities

LPG environments require electrical equipment that is certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Using non-ATEX electrical equipment in an LPG plant is a regulatory violation and a serious safety hazard. Megtraco’s integrated mechanical and electrical capability means your entire LPG plant — from the storage tank to the control room — is designed, built, and certified by a single responsible engineer.

Our Engagement Process

Hazardous Zone Classification

We classify your facility's electrical zones (Zone 0, 1, 2 for gas) and define the equipment specification requirements for each zone.

Electrical Design & Panel Engineering

Single-line diagrams, MCC schematics, and PLC panel designs are produced and reviewed against your process and safety requirements.

ATEX-Certified Installation

All equipment installed is ATEX/IECEx certified for the zone classification. Installations are inspected by a qualified ATEX inspector.

Testing, Load Commissioning & Sign-off

Full electrical testing to IEC standards, load commissioning, and issuance of electrical installation certificate with zone documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) certification applies to electrical equipment used in environments where flammable gases, vapours, or dusts may be present. In LPG plants and gas handling areas, all electrical equipment must be ATEX-certified to prevent ignition of flammable gas. Megtraco installs and certifies these specialist systems.

Yes. Our panel engineering team designs and builds custom Motor Control Centres (MCC), PLC panels, and distribution boards to your process specification. Panels are tested to IEC 61439 before delivery and installation.

Yes. ESD integration is a core capability for LPG plant electrical installations. We design the interlock logic, specify the solenoid valves and gas detectors, and wire the entire system — ensuring safe automatic shutdown on gas detection or process fault.

Yes. All completed installations receive an electrical installation certificate conforming to KEBS and Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) requirements. This is required for building occupation permits and insurance compliance.
