Custom Switchboards
Designed, fabricated, and tested
in-house for the demands of working vessels.
Standard equipment rarely accounts for the realities of a working vessel. Available space, system demands, and operating conditions all shape the final design. Garba Industrial builds custom switchboards by hand to fit the unique requirements of each application.
What We Do
Every switchboard is designed around the specific vessel, load profile, and operational requirements. Systems are fabricated and assembled with careful attention to accessibility, serviceability, and clean internal layout from the beginning.
Switchboards are configured to support generators, shore power, transfer systems, distribution loads, and protection devices as one coordinated system. Clear labeling, organized routing, and logical breaker arrangement simplify operation and maintenance.
Older switchboards can become difficult to maintain, unsafe to service, or incapable of supporting modern electrical demands. Garba designs replacement systems that improve reliability while fitting within existing vessel constraints and infrastructure.
Every switchboard is tested before delivery and verified again during installation and startup. Components, controls, and protection systems are checked under operating conditions to confirm safe and reliable performance.
How It Comes Together
Every custom switchboard follows a deliberate process from design and fabrication through testing and commissioning. By performing the work in-house, Garba maintains greater control over quality, coordination, and performance at every stage.
