Switchboards designed and built in-house
Main switchboards and distribution boards designed and built in our own workshop at Mulgrave NSW, factory tested and delivered with their test sheets.
We are a switchboard manufacturer as well as the installing contractor: we design and build our own switchboards at Mulgrave NSW, in Western Sydney, so the long-lead item on most of our projects runs on our programme.
Each board is designed to the job, issued as a general arrangement, internal layout and single-line diagram for approval, built on a modular enclosure system with design verification to AS/NZS 61439 held by the system manufacturer, routine verified, factory tested and delivered with its test sheets. ABB and Schneider switchgear.

Do you manufacture switchboards yourselves?
Yes. Vorick Group designs and builds main switchboards and distribution boards in its own workshop at Unit 2, 7 Precision Place, Mulgrave NSW. Each board is designed to the job, factory tested and delivered with its test sheets.
Can I order a switchboard from you without the installation?
Yes. As well as building the boards for our own projects, we take switchboard enquiries from building owners, facility managers and industrial clients. Email the drawings or specification to estimating@vorickgroup.com, or call (02) 7233 1895.
How long does a main switchboard take to build?
On recent boards, shop drawings in under two weeks and the board built in three to four weeks.
What switchboard ratings do you build?
Main switchboards to 2,500 A with fault ratings to 36 kA, Forms 2b to 4a, IP54 indoors and IP56 outdoors, with ABB and Schneider switchgear on a modular enclosure system.
Are your switchboards verified to AS/NZS 61439?
Each board is built on a modular enclosure system whose design verification to AS/NZS 61439 is held by the system manufacturer. We routine-verify every board we assemble and issue its factory test sheets.
Do you build switchboards with an automatic transfer switch?
Yes. We design and build main switchboards with a standby generator section and an automatic transfer switch, which changes the supply over when the mains fail and back when they return.
What drawings do we get for approval?
A general arrangement, an internal layout and a single-line diagram for each board, issued for approval before the board is built.
What kinds of switchboards do you build?
Main switchboards, CT-metered boards, EV distribution boards, distribution boards, meter panels and tee-off boxes, with generator and solar connection sections, changeover switches and surge protection where the job needs them.
