QGE has been providing electrical engineering services to the petroleum industry since Cris Kerrison started QGE in 2010. QGE’s expertise in electrical design for hazardous areas, hazardous area classification and control systems integration fits in well with the petroleum industry and QGE have developed a reputation for producing very high-quality work for good value.QGE have assisted with various aspects of petroleum site design including:
Petroleum sites, due to the flammable liquids and gases that are present, are classified as “Hazardous Areas” under the AS/NZS 60079 series of standards. Retail sites such as service stations are used by the untrained general public, meaning that prevention of an explosion or fire and compliance to standards are paramount.
The AS/NZS 60079 series of standards sets out the strict and sometimes complicated requirements for the design, construction and maintenance of electrical equipment for hazardous areas.
QGE’s know-how and experience with fuel systems, petroleum and hazardous areas has made QGE the preferred electrical engineering design consultants for a number of retailers, importers and architects across the country.
QGE are recognised leaders in hazardous areas and in grid connected solar PV, which is only possible because of our rock-solid foundation in electrical and controls engineering. We have the knowledge and experience to provide a cost-effective solution, whatever the problem.
Our cloud software, controls and telemetry solutions, and grid export control panels are all products of our ongoing investments in new technology and engineering processes, and we continue to push the boundaries with involvement in blockchain and peer-to-peer energy trading.
At QGE we genuinely enjoy what we do, which means we're always willing to go the extra mile for our customers to deliver the right solution. We have great client relationships because people like working with us.
The QGE team understood the project's constraints and requirements, and were able to deliver a commercial solution that has allowed Agrimin to achieve a higher renewables penetration and lower energy cost than it had expected.
Over several years, QGE have provided control systems design and on site support for upgrades and expansion projects. We've been very satisfied with the quality of their solutions and the high level of support they have provided our remote mine site.
QGE have worked with us for several years on hazardous area issues and have classified a number of our facilities, including new-technology processes, where we've been very satisfied with the pragmatic approach they've taken and the outcomes for our business.
