Defence procurement teams should prioritise four things when assessing a critical infrastructure contractor.
Delivered through Leopard Controls, a Siemens partner with open protocol capability across Distech Controls and Optergy.
Building management systems and energy management systems work best when they are designed alongside the infrastructure they monitor and control. When the BMS and the electrical and mechanical scope come from the same group, the integration is more coherent, the commissioning is more straightforward, and the ongoing management is more effective. DCE and Leopard Controls offer that integrated capability across critical facilities, data centres, and essential services infrastructure.
Centralised control of HVAC, lighting, power, and access, integrated and monitored through a single platform.
Automated monitoring and optimisation of energy consumption for critical facilities and large-footprint infrastructure.
Open protocol platforms with full integration capability across building services and third-party systems.
Leopard Controls is an authorised Siemens partner, delivering enterprise-grade automation backed by global technology.
System performance monitoring and remote management capability, reducing the need for frequent site visits.
Preventative and corrective maintenance by the DCE team, including full logistics support to reach the site.

In head-to-head comparisons against poured concrete footings, screw pile foundations have delivered total foundation cost reductions of up to 54% on remote sites.
Off-grid power systems are removing the biggest constraint on remote mining: the cost and risk of running everything on trucked-in diesel.
