Engineering Smart Utilities
across multiple sectors

ACE delivers industrial SCADA and control systems engineering across eight major sectors: water and wastewater, power systems and substations, clean energy (solar, BESS, wind), oil and gas, environmental monitoring, communication and telemetry networks, mining automation, and recycling facility automation. This cross-industry experience means proven solutions and best practice for every project.

Cross-industry SCADA experience lets ACE bring proven solutions from one sector to another. Alarm rationalisation practices refined in water utilities improve mining operations. Grid-code compliance patterns from renewables strengthen substation automation. Asset hierarchies standardised in oil and gas accelerate multi-site rollouts in any sector. Specialists limited to one industry simply don't have access to this breadth of proven patterns.

ACE's industrial SCADA solutions include substation automation, wide-area SCADA network design and audit, SCADA standardisation (asset hierarchy, alarm rationalisation, templates), operational technology architecture engineering, pump station and WWTP SCADA, control system FAT/SAT testing, power generation SCADA, BESS SCADA integration, and solar farm SCADA with 33kV to 330kV substation integration.

ACE has delivered over 200 sites across five Australian states, with more than 200,000 project hours over 11-plus years in business. Our signature projects include Wagerup BESS (Alinta Energy), Glenellen Solar Farm (GPG), Koodaideri 220kV substation, Sunrise Dam gas power (EDL Energy), Broome WWTP and Cane River WTP (Water Corporation), and Marble Bar Hybrid Power (Horizon Power).

Yes. ACE delivers non-process infrastructure control systems engineering for mining operations, including substation automation, communications networks, and control system integration. Projects include major 220kV substation commissioning and engineering support across iron ore, gold, and critical minerals sites.

ACE delivers industrial SCADA using all major protocols — IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus TCP and RTU, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC UA, and MQTT — aligned with industry standards including AEMO grid connection requirements, water utility standards, and mining safety standards. Every project is delivered within our triple-ISO framework (ISO 9001, 45001, 14001).
