Electrical Earthing Solutions in Townsville
GAP Industries North Queensland delivers certified earthing systems for residential, commercial and industrial applications across Townsville and the broader North Queensland region.
Our solutions are designed to safely discharge fault currents, stabilise voltage and protect people, property and equipment from electrical hazards.
From single-home safety to large-scale industrial grounding systems, our licensed electricians ensure each earthing installation meets Australian standards and site-specific conditions.
Why Electrical Earthing Is Essential
Earthing is essential for electrical safety and system reliability. It provides a direct path for fault currents to safely disperse into the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock, fire and equipment damage.
Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading an industrial facility or managing a commercial property, earthing systems must meet compliance codes and performance benchmarks.
GAP Industries NQ ensures each system is tailored to the site’s geology, soil resistivity and fault current potential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is earthing important for my property?
Earthing provides a safe path for electrical faults, reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage and fire. It’s a legal requirement for most electrical systems.
How do I know if my property’s earthing system is compliant?
If your system hasn’t been tested in the past 5 years, or if you’ve completed major electrical upgrades, it’s worth scheduling an inspection. We test and certify systems to AS/NZS 3000.
What kind of earthing system do I need?
It depends on your site’s soil conditions, fault current potential and property type. We assess each site to recommend the right solution, whether it’s a single rod, grid or mesh setup.
Can you upgrade earthing in older homes?
Yes. Many older homes lack adequate earthing. We install modern systems that improve safety and bring your home up to code.
Do industrial facilities need special earthing systems?
Absolutely. Sites with high loads or sensitive equipment require low-impedance earthing systems tailored to their infrastructure and risk profile.
How often should earthing be tested?
Testing is recommended every 1 to 5 years, depending on your site’s risk level and use. Industrial and commercial sites may require more frequent checks.
What is soil resistivity testing?
It’s the process of measuring how well the ground can conduct electrical current. The results determine the type and number of electrodes needed for effective earthing.
