E&I Project Engineering — from A to Z
Electrical installations that add up. On paper and on site.
We draw your installation in EPLAN, build the panels, commission them and keep them running reliably for years — including cleaning and maintenance under voltage, without stopping production.

Who we are
One partner for your entire electrical and instrumentation scope
Hoskens is a specialist E&I engineering firm for industry. We combine engineering, panel building and maintenance under one roof — so you no longer coordinate three parties, and nobody can point fingers when something goes wrong.
From the first single-line diagram to the as-built documentation after handover, every project is followed up by the same people. You notice it in the lead time, in the quality of the documentation and in how quickly a fault gets solved.
- Engineering, building and maintenance in one hand
- Documentation that matches what is actually in the panel
- Work during production wherever it is safe

EPLAN Electric P8 & Pro Panel
Schematics the shop floor can actually work with
A schematic is not a formality for the file — it is the document a wireman builds from and a technician uses to trace a fault at night. That is why we draw consistently to a fixed project structure, with correct cross-references, coherent terminal plans and part data that matches what is actually installed.
We work to your standards, or we set them up together with you. Existing documentation is taken over, digitised, or brought back in line with the installation as it stands today.
What we draw
- Single-line diagrams, control circuits and power circuits
- PLC and I/O schematics, safety circuits (SIL / PL)
- Terminal strips, cable lists and core connections
- Parts management and EPLAN Data Portal integration
- Symbols, macros and title blocks in your house style
- 3D panel layout and wire lengths in Pro Panel
Switchgear and distribution panels
Panel building to EN 61439 — tidy, testable and readable
We build panels the way we would want to find them during a breakdown: neatly wired, correctly labelled, with enough spare space and with the documentation inside the cabinet. From a compact control box to a full MCC line-up.
Every panel is electrically tested and visually inspected before delivery. You receive a test report, a material file and the matching schematics — and, if you wish, a FAT in our workshop or over video.
What we build
- Main and distribution boards, control and PLC cabinets
- Motor control centres (MCC) and variable speed drives
- Safety and emergency stop circuits
- Stainless steel and polyester enclosures, IP54 to IP66
- Operator desks, HMI panels and field boxes
- Rebuilds, extensions and retrofits of existing panels
Included free
Free sensors, and we keep watch 24/7
With every panel we build and every maintenance contract, we supply temperature, humidity and smoke sensors free of charge. We monitor your installation around the clock and alert you the moment something goes wrong — long before it turns into a breakdown. You can follow the readings yourself, but you don't have to keep an eye on them: that's our job.
- Temperature and humidity sensor in the cabinet
- Smoke detector in the cabinet
- 24/7 live monitoring by our team
- On an alarm or exceeded threshold, we alert you straight away
- Remote viewing available to you at any time
- Weekly or monthly reporting
Cleaning & maintenance — including live working
Keeping your installation clean and reliable without downtime
Dust, fibres and moisture inside a distribution board are not a cosmetic problem: they cause tracking currents, overheating and eventually failure. We clean electrical installations professionally, using non-conductive, residue-free products and specialised equipment — wherever it is safe and justifiable to do so without shutting the installation down.
Live working is carried out exclusively by trained and appointed personnel (BA4/BA5), on the basis of a risk assessment per work location, with the correct PPE, screening and work permit. Where de-energised work is safer or simpler, we plan our work into your maintenance shutdown.
What we do
- Dry cleaning of panels, busbar trunking and switchgear cells
- Cleaning of motors, cable trays and field installations
- Thermographic inspection with report and photographs
- Inspection and re-torquing of terminals
- Checking protective devices, RCDs and earthing
- Periodic maintenance plan with fixed reporting

E&I Project Engineering
From first sketch to signed handover
We take on the complete electrical and instrumentation scope of your project. It starts with a study and a realistic estimate, and only ends when the line runs, the documentation is correct and your people understand how everything fits together.
We work both as the party responsible for the E&I package and as a subcontractor to machine builders and installers — with a single point of contact throughout the project.
Our scope
- Study, concept and budget estimate
- Hardware design, I/O lists and instrument specification
- Cable calculations, routing and cable schedules
- Panel building, delivery and placement on site
- Installation, wiring and field terminations
- Loop testing, commissioning, start-up and as-built file
Storingsdienst — software by Hoskens
Your technicians' knowledge stays in the company
A machine stops at night, the experienced technician cannot be reached and the right drawing is somewhere in a cabinet. With Storingsdienst, all documentation per department and per machine is in one place: notes from your technicians, manufacturer manuals and electrical schematics with version control, so the latest revision always applies.
When a fault occurs, your technician describes the problem in plain language. The AI fault assistant searches your own documentation and answers step by step, referring to the right schematic sheet. When the fault is closed, the solution is saved, so the system learns from every intervention.
What you get
- Departments and machines clearly organised
- Notes, manuals, schematics and drawings per machine
- Versioned schematics: a new revision automatically becomes the valid one
- AI fault assistant with source references (schematic, sheet, manual)
- Track faults, close them and keep the solution
- Works on PC, tablet and phone on the shop floor

Why Hoskens
Six reasons clients stay with us
Everything in one hand
Drawing, building, installing and maintaining. One party responsible, no finger-pointing.
Documentation that matches
The schematic matches the panel. Always. Even after the third change on site.
Work during production
Where it is safe, we work live so your line does not have to stop.
Qualified personnel
BA4/BA5 trained and appointed, with a risk assessment and the right PPE per intervention.
Short lines
You call the people working on your project, not a call centre.
Aftercare that counts
After handover we stay reachable — with a maintenance contract, or simply when you are stuck.
Frequently asked questions
Good to know
What do the free sensors and monitoring include?
With every panel we build and every maintenance contract, we install temperature, humidity and smoke sensors at no extra cost. We monitor the readings 24/7; if an alarm goes off or a threshold is exceeded, we alert you straight away. You can also follow the readings live and remotely, but you don't need to. On top of that you receive a weekly or monthly report, whichever you prefer.
Do you also work as a subcontractor for machine builders?
Yes. A large part of our work comes through machine builders, installers and integrators. In that case we deliver the EPLAN documentation, the panels or both, in your own house style and to your standards.
Can you take over an existing documentation set?
Certainly. We take over existing schematics into EPLAN, digitise paper files and bring outdated documentation back in line with the installation as it stands today.
What does cleaning under voltage actually mean?
Cleaning electrical installations while they remain in service, using non-conductive, residue-free products and purpose-made equipment. This is carried out exclusively by BA5-appointed personnel, after a risk assessment, with a work permit, screening and full PPE. Where that cannot be done safely, we work de-energised in agreement with your planning.
How quickly can you be on site during a breakdown?
For clients with a maintenance contract we agree on a response time, including outside office hours. Without a contract we do our best, but running projects take priority.
Do you also deliver schematics only, without panel building?
Yes. You can order a standalone EPLAN engineering package, just as you can order only panel building or only maintenance.
