DC Power Installation for Critical Environments

GWT Critical Projects is a project installation entity specialising in DC power installation within critical environments. We work to regulated workflows, procedures and documentation so that installations are completed, verified and integrated into the environment they serve.

Who We Are

Technicians First

GWT Critical Projects Pty Ltd is the project installation company alongside GWT Critical Infrastructure, under common ownership and one leadership team. It was formed to carry the same DC power and battery depth onto project sites, under a structure built for construction delivery: our own licence, our own supervision and our own employees.

Every engagement is a subcontract for a defined body of work: a scope with a start, an end and a deliverable, carried out by our own employees under our own supervision.

Our technicians hold factory training across multiple products from multiple OEMs. We are vendor agnostic by design, so the vendor keeps its engineers on the product and we execute the DC power scope around it.

Everything we deliver runs under the GWT integrated HSEQ management system, mirroring the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified system operated by our sister company, and under a Registered Electrical Contractor licence, REC 38648.

Where We Come From

Built on Batteries

The battery years

GWT's roots are in battery systems, predominantly VRLA and lithium technologies: installed, tested, monitored and replaced across critical environments where the battery is the point of failure that matters. That is where GWT's DC power discipline was formed.

Onto the project site

GWT Critical Projects takes that depth onto construction projects. The same technical culture and the same documentation discipline, applied to DC power installation for vendors and contractors who need it done by people who know the equipment.

Leadership

Who Runs the Business

One leadership team across both GWT entities, with a single shared management system.

Managing Director

Glen Montgomery

Glen founded GWT Trading and leads both GWT companies as Managing Director, with responsibility for strategic relationships and growth. He came to critical power from the ground up: data centre construction first, then into the UPS vendor world as a field technician, and on to a vendor technical team before starting the business. That path shapes how GWT works today: technician-led, evidence-first, and at home inside live environments.

Site Delivery Lead, Critical Projects

James Hutchison

James leads site delivery for GWT Critical Projects and works on the tools with the crew, running DC power installation scopes on site day to day. His background is in major projects and high-risk environments: rail, including public-area site works, and critical cutover construction in the telecommunications industry, where the cost of getting a changeover wrong is measured in live services.

The Two Companies

Two Companies, One Leadership Team

GWT operates as two deliberately separate companies under common ownership and one leadership team, each employing its own people and contracting for its own scope, so that the right entity carries the right work.

GWT Critical Projects

A project installation entity specialising in DC power installation within critical environments. It works to regulated workflows, procedures and documentation so that installations are completed and verified to the standard of an ISO-certified management system, functionally verified, and integrated into the environment they serve.

GWT Critical Infrastructure

Delivers services across the full lifecycle of critical assets, focused on predictive outcomes: monitoring and maintenance that mitigate failure and extend asset service life without reducing reliability. Critical Infrastructure also specialises in the planning and execution of lifecycle critical cutovers, and provides the offsite test locations used by both companies.

Together, the two companies can support your product from first power-up at the test location through to handover on site, each under its own contract for its own scope.
