- Synertec (SOP) secures strategic role in Sydney Water’s SCADA & Electrical Panel
- Access to A$245 million in infrastructure opportunities over 5 years

Synertec Corporation Ltd (ASX:SOP) has been appointed to Sydney Water’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Electrical Services Panel, reinforcing its commitment to operational technology in Australia’s water sector. The company joins a highly select group of up to seven providers, positioning it to contribute to a projected A$245 million worth of infrastructure projects over the next five years.
This engagement aligns with Synertec’s broader strategy to deepen its footprint across Australia’s essential utilities. With existing projects underway in Victoria and Western Australia, this new milestone with Sydney Water significantly enhances its national reach.
Sydney Water is the country’s largest water utility, servicing over five million residents across Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and Illawarra. Its network includes 248 reservoirs, 152 drinking water pumping stations, 16 wastewater treatment plants, and more than 22,000 km of water mains. The SCADA and Electrical Panel is a crucial component in maintaining and upgrading this critical infrastructure.
Synertec’s involvement will include delivering automation and control engineering services, cyber security solutions, and electrical and SCADA system enhancements. These capabilities are central to ensuring infrastructure resilience and efficiency for years to come.
In addition to direct services for Sydney Water, Synertec will also be eligible to support its Regional Delivery Partners, which include consortiums like Confluence Water, Delivering4Customers, and West Region Delivery Team. These groups are instrumental in executing Sydney Water’s A$34 billion infrastructure pipeline over the next decade.
This development follows Synertec’s appointment to Western Australia’s Water Corporation Process Control Technologies Panel, a five-year term expected to generate approximately A$50 million in service revenues. The company also continues to maintain a long-term presence with Melbourne Water, providing 24/7 automation services since 2007.
As investor interest in infrastructure and utilities remains strong, especially among those exploring long-term growth themes, Synertec’s strategic position in these public sector projects may draw attention within the broader market landscape.
