Voltec Services is proud to announce it has been recognised with a 2026 NECA Excellence Award for the successful delivery of the RGM Truck Maintenance Facility in Townsville. The award acknowledges excellence in commercial electrical construction and celebrates the company's commitment to technical innovation, quality workmanship, safety, and project delivery.
Presented by the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA), the NECA Excellence Awards represent Queensland's highest recognition for outstanding achievement across the electrical and communications industry. Receiving this honour is a significant milestone for Voltec Services and reflects the expertise, professionalism, and dedication demonstrated by the entire team throughout one of the company's most ambitious projects to date.
Delivered in partnership with CiteCon for RGM Maintenance, the RGM Truck Maintenance Facility is the largest and most technically complex construction project undertaken by Voltec Services. From the earliest Design and Construct (D&C) tender phase through to commissioning and final handover, the project demanded exceptional planning, collaboration, and technical capability to deliver a high-performing electrical solution within a dynamic construction environment.
The project encompassed a comprehensive scope of electrical and communications works, including underground electrical infrastructure, mains and sub-mains cabling, transformer coordination, switchboard design and installation, complete structured data and communications networks, overhead crane electrical systems, extensive external lighting, and specialised electrical installations across multiple warehouse facilities. These works required meticulous coordination and precision to support a large-scale commercial development designed to accommodate heavy vehicle maintenance operations.
A defining feature of the project was Voltec Services' delivery of the facility's structured data network as a CommScope Certified Provider. This internationally recognised certification enabled the installation to qualify for a 25-year warranty, providing the client with long-term confidence in the reliability and performance of its communications infrastructure while demonstrating Voltec's commitment to delivering solutions that exceed industry standards.
Throughout construction, the Voltec Services team consistently demonstrated the adaptability and professionalism required to navigate evolving project requirements, weather-related challenges, and ongoing design refinements without compromising quality or project timelines. Their ability to proactively manage variations, maintain strong communication with stakeholders, and deliver defect-free outcomes contributed significantly to the project's successful completion. This disciplined approach earned high praise from CiteCon, which commended Voltec's professionalism, responsiveness, site leadership, and consistently high standard of workmanship.
"This award is a reflection of the collective effort of every member of the Voltec Services team," said Ryan Toohey. He added, "from our estimators and project managers through to our electricians, apprentices, commissioning specialists, and support staff, every individual played an integral role in delivering this outstanding result. Their technical expertise, commitment to quality, and passion for excellence continue to set Voltec Services apart."
Voltec Services also extends its sincere appreciation to CiteCon and RGM Maintenance for their trust, collaboration, and shared commitment throughout the delivery of the project. Strong partnerships remain fundamental to the company's approach, enabling successful outcomes on increasingly complex commercial developments across North Queensland.
Winning the Queensland NECA Excellence Award marks an exciting new chapter for Voltec Services. The company will now represent Queensland at the National NECA Excellence Awards this November, competing alongside Australia's leading electrical contractors.
As Voltec Services continues to deliver innovative electrical, communications, and infrastructure solutions across commercial, industrial, and government sectors, this recognition reinforces the company's unwavering commitment to engineering excellence, technical innovation, and building long-term value for clients through quality-driven project delivery.
