TEC Automation’s Services – NT Wide
TEC Automation delivers specialised electrical and automation solutions across the Northern Territory. From automation systems and control engineering to fire protection and emergency response, we provide full-service capabilities for critical infrastructure in defence, government, mining, and commercial operations.
Based in Darwin and Katherine, our team handles complex technical projects that demand precision, reliability, and deep understanding of Territory operating conditions.
What We Do
Our services span the full project lifecycle – from initial design and engineering through to installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. We specialise in automation and control systems, fire protection, instrumentation and calibration, switchboard construction, hazardous area services, and 24/7 emergency response.
Whether it’s a complex SCADA system for a remote facility or urgent electrical repairs, our field and office teams work together to deliver technical solutions built for Territory conditions.
Automation Systems and Controls
We program, maintain, and commission automation and control systems for industrial operations. This includes PLC programming and fault finding, HMI and touch screen development, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) configuration, and control panel manufacturing. We work with quality platforms such as EasyIO, Rockwell, Beckhoff, Siemens, Citect, Mitsubishi and more – delivering control systems that give you real-time visibility and reliable operation of critical infrastructure.
Instrumentation and Calibration
When process control instrumentation and measurement equipment go offline, operations stop. We provide precision calibration, installation, and maintenance services for industrial instrumentation to keep your systems accurate, compliant, and running. Our team calibrates pressure and temperature instruments, flowmeters, analytical instrumentation, gauges, controllers, and indicators. We work across hazardous areas, water and sewerage facilities, oil and gas operations, and industrial plants – delivering on-site calibration and troubleshooting to minimise downtime.
Building Management Systems (BMS) and SCADA
We design, install, and maintain Building Management Systems that monitor and control your facility’s mechanical and electrical equipment. From HVAC systems and lighting to security and access control, we integrate building systems into a single platform that improves energy efficiency, reduces operational costs, and enhances building performance. Our team delivers complete BMS solutions – from initial design and installation through ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and system optimisation.
Switchboard Construction & Maintenance
We design, manufacture, and install custom main switchboards and distribution boards built to Australian standards. Our team audits existing switchboards, designs upgrades to meet current compliance requirements, and manufactures solutions tailored to your operational needs. From electrical site auditing and infrastructure upgrade designs to complete switchboard construction and installation, we deliver safe, reliable electrical distribution systems for industrial and commercial facilities
Fire Protection & Safety Systems
We install, maintain, test, and repair fire protection equipment and emergency systems to keep your facilities compliant and safe. Our services cover fire detection systems, building warning systems (including BOWS, EWIS, and site evacuation audio), emergency lighting and alarms, gas suppression systems, portable fire equipment, and emergency washing stations. We ensure your fire safety infrastructure meets Australian standards and protects your people and assets.
Hazardous Area Services
We specialise in electrical work for hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts are present. From fuel stations and oil and gas facilities to chemical plants and mining operations, we design, install, certify, and maintain electrical systems that comply with strict hazardous area regulations. Our services include site inspections and audits, hazardous area certification, documentation and compliance reports, detailed risk assessments, and ongoing maintenance to keep your systems safe, compliant, and operational.
Preventative & Corrective Maintenance
We deliver scheduled preventative maintenance programs that keep your electrical and automation systems running safely and reliably. Through regular inspection, testing, and servicing of electrical infrastructure, control systems, instrumentation, and building systems, we identify and fix minor issues before they become major problems. Our maintenance services cover automation systems, switchboards, BMS platforms, fire protection equipment, instrumentation, and all electrical infrastructure – ensuring compliance, preventing costly downtime, and extending equipment lifespan.
