Protection, automation & SCADA
Relay settings, IEC 61850, RTU/SCADA cutovers, lab proving, testing and commissioning.
01 · Substations
HV substation design up to 500 kV
One of Australia's deepest in-house substation benches. GIS and AIS. Primary plant, secondary systems, protection, civil/structural, 3D and VR design reviews. Greenfield zone substations and brownfield replacements - Essential Energy, Western Power, Transgrid, ElectraNet and beyond.
01a · GIS
GIS substations. The whole building.
Bunning Lake for Western Power. South Jerrabomberra for Essential Energy. Civil, structural, mechanical and electrical - halls, basements, frames the GIS sits on - then the same model as a 3D twin, a VR review, and a scale model you can walk around.
02 · Transmission
HV line and cable design
330 kV and 500 kV towers, undercrossing protection, and the detail design packages that sit on Transpower, Western Power and Transgrid panels. HumeLink alpine strain towers to REZ network studies.
03 · Storage & grid connection
BESS, REZ and generation connection
Independent engineer, detailed design and grid connection for utility batteries and hybrid plant. 70+ BESS assignments. Waratah Super Battery SIPS. Eraring. Port Hedland 35 MW. Central West Orana REZ studies. Owner's engineer on solar and wind.
04 · Power system studies
The studies that get plant on the grid - and keep it operating stably and securely.
NEM and WEM connection studies, system strength, Generator Performance Standards, compliance testing and model validation. This is a first-class APD offer, not a footnote: 15 GW+ of studies delivered, GPS registered with AEMO, and the modelling that sits behind REZ, BESS and thermal plant.
05 · Telco D&C
Design and construct for the networks that carry the signal.
Digital radio, 4G, 5G small cells, LEO satellite backhaul, nbn power. Field crews plus the design bench - the same house that designs the high-voltage grid also builds the comms that run it.
06 · EPC & EPCM
Engineer. Procure. Construct. Delivered end-to-end.
Full turn-key delivery with engineering at the core - power stations, renewables, substations 11–500 kV, switchboards and comms. Remote community power stations in the Kimberley, a live switchboard replacement inside Vales Point Power Station, a 60 m off-grid tower at Esperance. Construction supervisors on site, closeout testing and commissioning by the same house.
07 · Robotics & inspection
Autonomous rover, drone inspection and robotics.
Ground robots with thermal imaging, LiDAR and manipulative tooling, and autonomous drone survey - for condition monitoring and inspection of substations, AI data centres, renewable energy sites, battery assets and transmission infrastructure.
08 · Mining
Power, comms and control for mine sites.
Mission-critical communications for remote mining operations, HV substation SCADA and control in the Pilbara, switchboard integration and process control commissioning - proven on site with BHP, Roy Hill and Mineral Resources.

Telco design and construct
Digital radio, 4G, LEO backhaul, nbn power. Field crews plus the design bench - not a drawing pack handed over the fence.
Explore telco →Earthing & lightning
CDEGS, EPR/LFI/EMF, pipeline assessments, and site testing that matches the model.
Explore earthing →EPC / EPCM
Delivered end-to-end - from remote power station upgrades and switchboard replacements in live power stations to greenfield comms towers. Owner's engineer where the client needs an independent technical voice.
Explore EPC & EPCM →Robotics, drones & inspection
Autonomous rover and drone inspection of wind turbines, substations and primary plant - AI-driven asset intelligence as the default, not rope access.
Explore →Mining
Mission-critical comms for remote mine sites, substation SCADA and control in the Pilbara, and compliance studies for industrial and mining clients.
