    Distribution Boards & Professional Lighting — Commercial Mall Maadi

    A commercial mall in Maadi with 18 rental units across 3 floors. Work included separate distribution boards per unit, LED lighting for mall corridors, and protection systems for each tenant.

    The Challenge

    The core challenge was precisely isolating each commercial unit's consumption for accurate metering and independent disconnection, while ensuring a fault in one unit doesn't affect others.

    Lighting was required for 14 hours daily, so high-efficiency LED fixtures were essential to reduce electricity bills and minimize maintenance.

    The Solution

    3-phase main board (160A) with main meter and sub-meters per unit

    18 Schneider iC60 sub-boards with independent RCCB per commercial unit

    Full circuit labeling with clear tags inside each board

    LED lighting (Philips CorePro) in mall corridors — 40% energy saving vs old fixtures

    Independent emergency circuit with backup lighting (small UPS per floor)

    Trip test for each RCCB with documented results in handover file

    Execution Timeline

    Phase 1

    Day 1-4: Load audit, board design and specs

    Phase 2

    Day 5-14: Cable runs to all units and corridors

    Phase 3

    Day 15-20: Board installation, lighting fit-out, connections

    Phase 4

    Day 21-22: Testing, documentation and handover

    Result

    The mall has been fully operational since November 2023 with zero tenant complaints. Lighting bills dropped 40% compared to the previous fixtures. Each commercial unit is fully electrically independent.

    Full one-year warranty on all electrical work.
