In 1999 William White Switchgear was acquired by McGeoch
Technology bringing with it a vast amount of experience in the
design and manufacture of power distribution and control and
instrumentation panels for warships.
Since then this experience has been applied to both naval and
commercial shipping applications on a truly international basis
and nowadays, McGeoch marine switchgear can be found at the
heart of critical power distribution systems in many of the
ships and submarines on and under the world's seas and oceans.
The design and manufacture
of control panels, forming, as they do, the vital control of
many interlocking systems, test, to the extreme, McGeoch
Technology's ability to work with many partners and clearly
underline our expertise in this area of marine engineering.
Range
Every McGeoch control panel is made
to a customer's individual specification and rarely are two
panels exactly the same. The photographs on this page
clearly demonstrate the size and complexity of these
McGeoch-engineered units.

for the new British Navy Type 45 Destroyer. These units control
the fire dampers which shut off the ventilation in the
event of an onboard fire.

Navy. A warship is a dangerous place and it is necessary to be able to shut
off systems in case of fire or battle damage!

A
fuse box (left) and meter box, typical of those supplied to the
world's navies. A warship uses enough power to run a small town and McGeoch
provides the fuse panels to safely control that power. Meter boxes are used
in a wide range of functions, for instance, to provide the operator with an
indication of the level of fluid in a tank.
