About Lite-Tek
Engineering Services.
An independent, engineer-led physical security and electrical firm based in Kotei, opposite the Police Station near KNUST, Kumasi. We engineer systems built to withstand Ghanaian climatic and electrical conditions.

Lite-Tek Engineering Services was founded on the conviction that security and electrical systems in Ghana deserve certified engineering discipline, not guesswork or quick artisan shortcuts.
Every year in Kumasi, homeowners and commercial operators spend thousands of cedis replacing electric fence energizers that burnt out from lightning strikes, gate motors whose gear teeth stripped due to unbalanced gates, and CCTV DVRs fried by power surges.
“Physical security installations in Kumasi must endure real-world conditions: heavy tropical downpours, unstable ECG voltage fluctuations, and dry harmattan soil. At Lite-Tek, every circuit, earthing pit, and motor drive is designed with calculated engineering precision.”
How We Engineer Installations Differently
We eliminate the common pitfalls that cause standard contractor installations in Kumasi to fail within months.
Calculations Before Work Begins
Every project begins with electrical calculations: calculating voltage drops, phase load balancing across 230V/400V, and conduit sizing to prevent breaker tripping and thermal degradation.
Deep Copper Earthing (< 5Ω)
Electric fences and delicate gate controllers fail in Kumasi when earthing resistance is high. We install deep copper earth rods with bentonite soil treatment and measure impedance with calibrated earth testers.
UV-Stabilized Protective Conduit
All outdoor wiring is enclosed in heavy-duty PVC or galvanized steel conduits with IP66 weather-sealed junction boxes, protecting vital circuits from intense tropical heat, rainstorms, and rodents.

Our Workshop & Technical Depot in Kotei
Lite-Tek operates an active workshop and parts depot directly opposite the Kotei Police Station, just 3 minutes from the KNUST campus. This central location gives us immediate dispatch capability across all suburbs of Kumasi.
In-stock gate motor gearboxes, Nemtek energizers, backup batteries, and 4K optical cameras.
Pre-installation bench testing for all circuit boards, remote modules, and access controllers.
Look out for the Lite-Tek illuminated street billboard on the main Kotei road directly opposite the police station.
