What we do

SDS is a New Zealand electrical engineering company specialising in high-quality design and optimisation of electrical infrastructure. Experts in large, complex projects, our team of professional electrical engineers, drawing technicians and project managers provide a one-stop shop for electrical installation design, control and automation systems design and programming, and documentation.

As well as engineering calculations, we can draught your project and the as-built drawings. And with over a decade in automation experience, we programme your controller software (PLC and SCADA) to make plants more efficient and safe. With over 10 years’ experience with New Zealand infrastructure, all our work is undertaken locally to comply with New Zealand electrical standards and regulations.

Our project experience includes food processing plants, heavy machinery cement plants, public sector infrastructure sites, commercial marine control and monitoring systems, refrigeration control, packaging processes, water filtration systems, water and wastewater treatment processes.

Our mission is to find innovative technology solutions to benefit the daily lives of New Zealanders and to preserve the environment for future generations. Whether we are optimising a plant for employee safety and energy efficiency, or helping to create better water treatment processes for cleaner drinking water, the team at SDS help make a positive impact.
