Connecting the power lines to your property and keeping the lights on!

DISTRO-TEX is your trusted electrical contractor for a range of electrical works.

Founded by Copper Coast locals Ryan Porteous and Abraham Helfand in 2020, Distro-Tex is accredited and qualified to perform various works ranging from SA Power Networks powerline construction through to general domestic, commercial and industrial electrical jobs.

“We aim to provide turnkey solutions where we can construct new powerlines to our clients’ properties and then install the domestic wiring to turn the lights on,” they said.

Ryan and Abraham’s broad experiences and combined qualifications allow Distro-Tex to offer a one-stop shop for clients from the first design stages through to the construction and delivery stages of projects.

“With over 20 years of combined powerline and general domestic, commercial and industrial electrical experience, our services range from installing new stobie poles and transformers to rural properties through to installing domestic sub mains, house rewiring, new house installations, ceiling fans, lighting and also community and council street/sports lighting,” they said.

Distro-Tex has offices in the Copper Coast and Adelaide, with directors Ryan and Abraham being trained locally in the Copper Coast for their trades.

Abraham completed his apprenticeship with SA Power Networks based at the Kadina depot where he completed nine years of service and Ryan completed his electrical apprenticeship with a local electrician in Moonta Bay where he crafted his skills for five years before joining SA Power Networks in Adelaide for a further five years.

“Recently our projects have included installing underground and overhead residential subdivisions in Moonta Bay, Port Lincoln and Wallaroo, complete renovation of a two-storey home in Henley Beach and Modbury as well as community lighting for the Wakefield Regional Council,” they said.

“We also recently installed light towers at the Blyth cricket oval to facilitate night cricket conditions for training, achieving an average of 300 lux across the training area; as well replacing the old halogen tower floodlights at the Hamley Bridge Football Club with new 1200W LED floodlights.”

Distro-Tex was also heavily involved with the Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park where the crew was contracted to complete and connect all the high voltage cable terminations in remote conditions.

The combined skill sets and experiences of Ryan and Abraham set the foundations for Distro-Tex to provide various electrical services for both Yorke Peninsula and state-wide clients.
