Electrical & Mechanical Engineering
Electrical installation, instrumentation and metering, and mechanical installation and maintenance, for buildings, water schemes and plant.
Capabilities
Sato was founded by an electrical engineer, and electrical work runs through the firm's project record — from the pump control and high lift installations on water supply schemes to the supply and installation of bulk and prepayment metering for utilities and development programmes.
Sato's mechanical work sits alongside its civil and water engineering: pump houses, high lift pump installation, pipework and the plant that keeps a scheme running. The firm maintains its own fleet and workshop, which is where much of this capability was built.
We deliver electrical and mechanical works as part of a wider contract or as packages in their own right, and we commission what we install.
A pump house is a civil structure, a mechanical installation and an electrical panel at once, and it is sequenced as one job.

Solutions
Building and industrial installations
Distribution boards, switchgear, cabling, lighting and earthing for academic, administrative and industrial buildings, tested and certified on completion.
Pump control and motor control centres
Control panels, starters and protection for water supply and pumping stations, built to the duty of the plant rather than to a standard schedule.
Pumping stations and pump houses
Mechanical fit-out of intake and high lift stations: pump installation, alignment and commissioning, with the pipework and valves around them.
Pipework and distribution mains
Fabrication and laying of ductile iron and UPVC mains, with the fittings, chambers, testing and disinfection that go with them.
Metering supply and installation
Bulk, electromagnetic and prepayment meters supplied, installed, commissioned and handed over, with training for the staff who will read and maintain them.
Solar and standby power
Solar systems, including solar-powered boreholes, and standby generation with changeover, for sites where grid supply cannot be depended on.
Instrumentation and control
Field instrumentation and control systems for water and process plant, so an operator can see what the plant is doing and act on it.
Plant installation and overhaul
Static and rotating equipment installed, overhauled and returned to service, including equipment supplied by others.
Maintenance and workshop support
Planned and corrective maintenance of plant and mechanical building services, backed by our own workshop, welding and fabrication capacity.
