My advice would be to contact an ice rink company to supply you with a control panel to fit your needs. You didn't say what type of compressors you have. I hate to assume , but lets go with recips. Once they stage on, how do they load up? on suction pressure or by a multistage temp controller? Are the units freon? or AMMONIA? You said each compressor has a water solenoid, is that for the water jackets on the heads?
I think you need to gather up a lot more information, as you will need to incorporate safeties, alarms, timers, sequencer, and a few more items into your panel. Your in Canada, contact Cimco, and let them custom design one for you.
Good Luck
