JLE works throughout New Zealand frombranches in New Plymouth, Hāwera, Auckland and Taupō, and has operations inAustralia and Papua New Guinea. We have completed work in 13 countries.
What electrical services does JLE provide?
JLE provides industrial electricalconstruction, switchboard and power distribution work, cable installation,testing and commissioning, inspections and audits, hazardous area electricalservices, maintenance and shutdown support, renewable energy electrical work,and EV charging and lighting upgrades.
Can JLE install wireless and remote monitoring?
Yes. JLE installs and commissions wireless and remote monitoring solutions alongside conventional wired field instrumentation.
What types of industrial instruments can JLE calibrate?
JLE calibrates pressure, differential pressure, temperature, flow, level and analytical instrumentation, along with control valves, actuators, positioners, and vibration and speed monitoring instrumentation.
The test method depends on the equipment and measurement requirements.
Can JLE provide site-based instrumentation technicians?
Yes. JLE can provide embedded and site-based instrumentation personnel, including electrical and instrumentation dual-trade support.
Can JLE provide instrumentation support during plant shutdowns?
Yes. JLE provides instrumentationtechnicians for planned shutdowns, turnarounds, calibration campaigns, prooftesting, maintenance, commissioning and plant upgrades.
Does JLE provide PLC and DCS engineering?
JLE provides first-line PLC/DCS faultfinding and support.
Where specialised automation or control-system engineeringis needed, we work alongside specialist automation resources to deliver anintegrated solution.
What does instrumentation commissioning include?
JLE commissioning includes instrument benchsetup and testing, loop checking, I/O verification, field-to-control-systemtesting, and loop and system functional testing.
Can JLE configure HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus instruments?
Yes. JLE provides instrument communication,configuration and diagnostics, including HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF),subject to equipment compatibility.
Does JLE provide calibration certificates?
Yes. JLE uses traceable reference equipmentand can provide calibration results and certificates, along with support foryour calibration register.
Can JLE calibrate instruments on-site, or do they need to be removed?
Both. JLE offers on-site and workshopinstrument calibration, depending on the instrument, site conditions andtesting requirements, and can work with client-supplied specialist testequipment where required.
Can JLE provide electrical, instrumentation and mechanical services together?
Yes. JLE has electrical, instrumentation,mechanical and instrumentation tubing capability in-house, so we can providecoordinated multi-discipline support for new projects and operating facilities.
What are the benefits of using stainless steel?
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and hygiene properties that make it ideal for harsh environments.
It maintains its properties at high and low temperatures, resists chemical attack, and provides long service life with minimal maintenance.
Our stainless steel solutions are perfect for food processing, chemical handling, marine environments, and pharmaceutical applications.
What grades of stainless steel do you work with?
We work with various stainless steel grades to match your specific application needs.
Common grades include 304 for general applications, 316 for superior corrosion resistance, and specialised alloys for extreme conditions.
All materials meet international standards including ASTM, ASME, and AS/NZS specifications with full material traceability and certification.
