Electrical Engineering Services in Egypt
Safe, Reliable Power Designed Around How Your Building Runs
Electrical Engineering: the short answer
Electrical engineering designs how power reaches, protects and serves everything in a building. Laurent designs and delivers power distribution, lighting, critical power, fire alarm, lightning protection and low-current systems for residential, commercial, healthcare and industrial projects across Egypt, from load calculations and single-line diagrams through construction support, testing and commissioning.
Problems we solve
Overloaded or unbalanced circuits
Calculated loads and balanced distribution prevent tripping, overheating and expensive upgrades later.
Downtime where power cannot fail
UPS, generators and automatic transfer switching keep hospitals, data rooms and plants running.
Fire and lightning risk
Arc fault protection, fire alarm and lightning protection systems reduce risk to people, structure and equipment.
Disconnected building technology
Security, access control, AV and data designed as one infrastructure instead of separate add-ons.
Scope
What our electrical engineering service includes
Integrated Electrical System Design
Power distribution, lighting and load balancing for new builds and renovations, coordinated with architecture and structure.
Critical Power Systems
UPS, generators and automatic transfer switching for facilities where continuity is essential.
Arc Fault Protection
Arc fault detection and protection design to reduce the risk of electrical fires.
Lightning Protection Systems
Lightning protection that safeguards the structure, occupants and equipment.
Fire Alarm Design & Integration
Detection and alarm systems for rapid detection, clear evacuation signaling and reliability.
Security & Access Control
Security, access control and alarm systems integrated into the electrical infrastructure.
Communication & AV Systems
Structured cabling, AV infrastructure and communication networks for connected buildings.
Voice, Data & Video (VDV)
Integrated voice, data and video systems structured for scalability and easy management.
Low-Current Technologies
Building automation and specialist low-current systems matched to how your building operates.

Why Laurent
Why clients choose Laurent for electrical engineering
01
Load Calculations You Can Review
Every design comes with documented loads, single-line diagrams and panel schedules, so capacity decisions are visible, not assumed.
02
Continuity Planned for Critical Spaces
We identify which loads must never stop and design UPS, generator and transfer arrangements around them.
03
Life Safety and Low-Current in One Design
Fire alarm, security and data share one coordinated design, so cabling routes and interfaces are resolved before installation.
04
Spare Capacity for What Comes Next
Distribution and containment are sized with room for future loads and smart building technology, avoiding costly rewiring later.

FAQ
Electrical Engineering: frequently asked questions
How much does electrical design and installation cost?
Electrical cost typically depends on building area and use, connected load, critical power needs and the extent of low-current systems. A residential building needs far less infrastructure than a hospital or data room. Share your drawings and requirements and we will scope the electrical works and prepare a detailed proposal.
What is included in electrical engineering services?
Electrical engineering services include power distribution and lighting design, load calculations, single-line diagrams, critical power, arc fault and lightning protection, fire alarm, security, AV and data systems. Laurent also prepares tender and approval documentation, supports construction and tests and commissions the installation.
Do you design fire alarm systems?
Yes. Laurent designs fire alarm and detection systems integrated with the rest of the building’s electrical and life safety infrastructure, including interfaces with HVAC and firefighting systems. Designs follow Egyptian codes and relevant international life safety standards for the building type.
Can you design backup power for hospitals or data rooms?
Yes. We design critical power systems including UPS, generators and automatic transfer switching for facilities where power continuity is essential. The design starts by classifying which loads need uninterrupted power and which can tolerate a short transfer, then sizes each part of the system to match.
Do you handle electrical approvals?
We prepare the electrical drawings, load calculations and specifications that authorities and utility providers typically require, and support you through review. Exact requirements depend on the building and its location, so we confirm the approval route for your project at the start.
