Our Defence Capabilities

Working with the Defence sector demands a high level of expertise, precision, and compliance—qualities that are central to how VAE operates. Defence projects require not only technical excellence in HVAC and building systems but also strict adherence to security protocols, documentation standards, and operational resilience. From secure site access to working within highly classified environments, every aspect of a Defence project must be delivered with discretion, integrity, and accountability.

VAE meets these specialised needs through our certified compliance systems, highly skilled teams, and deep experience delivering critical infrastructure in sensitive, secure environments. We hold the necessary Defence and contractor accreditations, including security-cleared personnel, and implement robust project controls to ensure safety, confidentiality, and consistency. With a strong track record across Defence facilities in Australia and the Pacific, we provide end-to-end HVAC and building technology solutions that meet the sector’s stringent expectations—delivered with the VAE hallmark of Built in Certainty.

Engineering

In Defence environments where performance, security, and reliability are critical, VAE delivers engineered solutions that take a multi-disciplinary approach across HVAC, electrical, fire, and mechanical systems. Our designs are built to meet stringent Defence specifications and are integrated with adjacent systems to ensure robust operation, including complete smoke control and emergency management systems. With a focus on resilience, redundancy, and compliance, we engineer certainty into every system from the ground up.

Drafting

Precision and planning are essential when working in Defence environments. Our in-house drafting and design teams use advanced 3D CAD modelling and clash detection to ensure efficient coordination of all services before construction begins. This reduces on-site rework, accelerates installation timelines, and supports the strict operational continuity required on Defence sites—delivering faster, more predictable outcomes with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Construction

Construction in Defence facilities requires rigorous planning, controlled access, and uncompromising safety standards. VAE has extensive experience operating in secure and sensitive environments, and our teams are trained to manage the unique logistics and stakeholder engagement these projects demand. We focus on minimising disruption to operations, protecting both personnel and assets, and delivering mission-critical infrastructure safely, efficiently, and with Built in Certainty.

Manage

Defence assets demand continuous reliability. VAE’s Manage division provides 24/7 support with dedicated account managers, skilled technicians, and asset warranty experts. We deliver data-driven maintenance, system analytics, and compliant testing such as AS 1851 smoke exhaust inspections, all tailored to Defence operational requirements. Our VAE Bureau performance team offers strategic insight, fault response, and optimisation support to ensure Defence facilities remain mission-ready at all times.
