Engineering support for Townsville and North Queensland
Townsville is the major industrial and logistics centre for North Queensland - serving mining operations across the region, port and bulk handling infrastructure, manufacturing, and significant utilities and council infrastructure. Control system reliability and electrical engineering capability are essential across these sectors.
Beetle Engineering is based in Mackay and travels to Townsville for project and support work. Our experience across mining, ports, manufacturing, and utilities means we can work effectively across the range of industrial automation and electrical engineering that Townsville operations require.
Control systems and automation work in Townsville
The industrial operations across Townsville and North Queensland run on Rockwell, Emerson, AVEVA, and Ignition control platforms - the same systems we work on across Queensland. Our work in the region covers PLC programming and control system upgrades, SCADA development and migration, RPEQ electrical engineering for switchroom and equipment modifications, and commissioning and FAT support.
Mining and processing operations in North Queensland place high demands on control system reliability. Plant that runs continuously requires engineers who understand the consequences of downtime and can deliver work within planned shutdown windows without extending outages.
Regional support from a Queensland base
For Townsville clients, we structure project work around minimising site visits while delivering quality outcomes. Hardware is pre-configured and bench-tested in Mackay before we travel. Engineering and design is completed off-site. Site time is used for installation, commissioning, and operator handover.
For ongoing support, remote access via secure VPN means we can respond to faults and provide program support without the delay and cost of travel. We work with clients to establish appropriate remote access infrastructure as part of our project and support contract scope.
