Custom Switchboards
Custom built for the vessel and delivered without the long wait.
Garba keeps design, fabrication and testing in-house, giving our team greater control over quality, delivering custom switchboards on faster timelines. Each one is engineered for the power demands, available space and operating conditions of the vessel.
What We Do
Each switchboard is designed and fabricated for new builds, upgrades and replacements, with careful attention to component selection, internal layout, accessibility, serviceability and long-term performance.
Generators, shore power, transfer systems, distribution loads and protection devices are brought into one coordinated system, with clean layouts, clear labeling and straightforward access for operation and service.
Existing vessels come with existing constraints. Replacement systems are developed around the available space and infrastructure to accommodate new requirements while keeping installation and future service straightforward.
Before a board leaves the shop, components, controls and protection systems are thoroughly inspected and tested. Installation, startup and commissioning provide final verification that the complete system is ready for service.
How It Comes Together
Garba keeps design, fabrication, assembly and testing under one roof. That means fewer handoffs, faster decisions and greater control over the schedule and the finished product. It's how we deliver custom switchboards quickly without lowering the standard of the work.
Our Approach
Built for the
Vessel
No two vessels present the same requirements. Garba accounts for the power demands, available space and operating conditions from the start rather than adapting an off-the-shelf solution.
Built to a Higher Standard
High-quality materials, precise fabrication and careful assembly go into every board. From component placement to labeling and access, details are considered with service in mind.
Built for Faster Turnaround
Keeping engineering, fabrication and testing in-house gives Garba greater control over the schedule, reducing unnecessary delays and getting finished switchboards out the door faster.
