ELV System in Singapore
LSK Engineering designs, installs and maintains ELV systems in Singapore for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. Extra low voltage (ELV) systems carry the security, communication and control signals that a modern building relies on, from CCTV and access control to public address, fireman intercom and building management. As an M&E engineering contractor established in 1990, we deliver every ELV system as one accountable package, from design and installation through to testing, commissioning and ongoing servicing.
What Is an ELV System?
An ELV system is a network of security, communication, monitoring and control equipment that operates at extra low voltage, typically 50V AC or 120V DC and below. It runs separately from the main power supply and connects the devices that keep a building safe, connected and efficiently managed.
Our ELV System Services
- Integrated Security System — CCTV, access control and intrusion detection brought together on one platform, so building teams can manage cameras, entry points and alarms centrally.
- Fireman Intercom System — two-way voice communication between the fire command centre and key points in the building, installed in line with SCDF Fire Code requirements and coordinated with your fire protection system.
- Energy Monitoring System — metering and reporting that shows how electricity is used across the building, supporting energy management and BCA Green Mark goals.
- Public Address System — clear voice and emergency announcement coverage for offices, factories, carparks and common areas.
- Carpark Guidance System — vehicle counting, bay indicators and directional signage that cut search time and ease congestion.
- DCIM / BMS System — data centre infrastructure management and building management platforms that consolidate monitoring and control of power, cooling and equipment status.
- Structured Cabling — organised copper and fibre cabling infrastructure that supports voice, data and building systems.
- ELV Service & Maintenance — scheduled inspection, testing, fault rectification and system upgrades to keep your ELV systems dependable. We also support ongoing upkeep through our facility management

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ELV stand for?
ELV stands for extra low voltage. An ELV system uses low-voltage circuits, typically 50V AC or 120V DC and below, to power security, communication, data and control equipment in a building.
What is included in an ELV system?
A typical ELV system covers CCTV, access control, structured cabling, public address, fireman intercom, carpark guidance, energy monitoring and DCIM or BMS platforms. The exact scope depends on the building type and its operational needs.
Is a fireman intercom system mandatory in Singapore?
Fireman intercom systems are required in certain buildings under the SCDF Fire Code, depending on the building’s height, size and use. Your Qualified Person or SCDF can confirm the requirement for your premises, and LSK Engineering can design and install the system to suit.
How often should an ELV system be maintained?
ELV systems should be inspected and tested on a scheduled basis to stay reliable. The right frequency depends on the system type, building use and any regulatory requirements, and LSK Engineering sets up service schedules to match.
Can ELV systems be integrated with a building management system?
Yes. Security, energy monitoring, public address and other ELV systems can be connected to a BMS or DCIM platform so that building teams can monitor and control them from one place.
How much does an ELV system cost in Singapore?
Cost depends on building size, the systems required, the number of devices and the cabling involved. Contact LSK Engineering for a free quote based on your building’s requirements.
