2006 was another very busy year for Jackson Switchgear in terms of project wins.
We continued our proud tradition in the retail sector, working on many new developments including shopping centres and flagship stores throughout Ireland.
In the industrial sector we completed a large project at a plastics factory in Co Wicklow involving a number of main LV switchboards and power distribution panels together with an extensive amount of busbar trunking.
Other sectors in which we successfully tendered include hospitals, schools and hotels.
We also completed a number of large mixed developments involving residential, retail and leisure facilities.
Over the summer, we have been busy designing and populating a new website for Jackson Switchgear.
The site contains information on the company, our capabilities and product offerings.
It also contains a detailed guide on power factor correction.
Rachel Jackson, Sales Manager, said: "We are delighted that we have been able to secure this very exciting and unique web address for switchgear supplies from Ireland, and that this project has come to a successful conclusion.
The website has already started to show results, as we have received enquiries from Europe, the Middle East, and as far away as New Zealand.
Last year our R and D department focussed on technological advances in energy monitoring and packaged substations.
As a result of the research conducted, 2007 will see substantial investment by Jackson Switchgear in the latest mobile energy monitoring equipment.
We will also be in a position to market a package substation to include medium voltage switchgear, transformer and LT switchboard to clients' requirements.
These can be air conditioned as necessary and will result in savings in installation time and valuable floor space.
We can also offer a range of 10/20/0.4KV hermetically sealed oil or cast resin (maintenance free) transformers up to 3,000KVA.
We also supply 24KV medium voltage switchgear which ranges from cable in - cable out, ring main units, and modular fixed or withdraw-able switchgear.
