Tailor-made industrial electrical installation
Alinco, a specialised industrial company based in Sint-Niklaas, built a new facility featuring both production halls and office spaces to support its future growth. Alinco is a highly specialised manufacturer of sheet metal products and metal constructions, relying on a wide range of industrial machinery for its operations.
Peter Depraetere, Managing Director of Alinco, explains:
“Because of the nature of our activities, we had very specific requirements for the electrical installation in our new production facility. Any partner we worked with needed to understand those requirements and deliver a truly customised solution.”
Elektro Kamiel Smet embraced the challenge with a holistic approach. Its engineering department developed a comprehensive concept that covered every aspect of the installation — a perfect example of the Design & Build approach in practice.
Technical expertise and flexibility as key strengths
Given the scale of the project, Alinco carefully selected a reliable partner with proven technical expertise. Elektro Kamiel Smet (EKS) met all the requirements.
“Not only did the comprehensive approach of EKS’s engineering department convince us to work with them, but also their technical expertise and the fact that they are a local partner. This allowed us to keep communication lines short and efficient,” adds Depraetere.
The complexity of the project is reflected in the broad scope of installations that had to be provided, including power balance calculations, energy distribution and power supply for the machinery fleet, indoor and outdoor lighting, data management infrastructure and cabling for security systems, CCTV, intrusion detection and fire detection.
Built on trust and tailored solutions
For more than fifty years, Elektro Kamiel Smet has considered a strong relationship of trust with its customers to be the cornerstone of every collaboration. This project for Alinco was no exception.
Everything starts with listening carefully to the client’s needs and expectations. Based on these requirements, the engineering department develops an initial design, which is then continuously refined during regular consultation meetings between EKS and the customer.
The frequent interaction between EKS and Alinco formed the foundation of this successful collaboration and created the basis for long-term support. The combination of craftsmanship, technical expertise and effective coordination did the rest.
Elektro Kamiel Smet clearly made a difference for Alinco, delivering a positive impact for all parties involved throughout the entire process.
