Engineering, capital and operations for high-value technical assets.
Vieuxpont designs, builds, finances and operates the equipment businesses depend on — from solar and energy infrastructure to industrial robotics and laboratory systems — and keeps it performing for decades.
Renewable energy
Solar farms, commercial rooftops, storage and behind-the-meter energy management. First install 1991.
Robotics & automation
Robotic cells, material handling and control systems for manufacturing, recycling and logistics.
Laboratory & medical
Laboratory and clinical equipment specified, installed, calibrated and kept in service.
Three sectors. One way of working.
Every asset we deliver — a rooftop array, a robotic cell, a laboratory instrument — goes through the same engineering, build and operating discipline, and can be financed the same way.
Renewable energy
Behind-the-meter renewable assets, from utility-scale farms to commercial rooftops, with energy and data management built in.
Design & engineering
Feasibility, yield modelling, electrical and structural design for ground-mount arrays and complex rooftops — engineered for grid connection from day one.
Building & EPC
Full project delivery: civils, mounting, DC/AC installation and commissioning across solar farms, commercial sites and rooftop infrastructure.
Energy management
Behind-the-meter optimisation, storage integration and load matching that turns generation into measurable cost and carbon outcomes.
Data & monitoring
Live performance telemetry, fault detection and reporting — every panel, inverter and meter visible in one operational view.
Robotics & automation
Robotic cells and automated handling for manufacturing, recycling and logistics operations.
Cell design & integration
Robot selection, end-of-arm tooling, guarding and safety systems — designed around the process, not the catalogue.
Controls & PLC
Control architecture, PLC and HMI programming, and integration with existing plant, conveyors and upstream equipment.
Commissioning
Installation, cycle-time tuning and operator handover on site, with the cell proven against real product before sign-off.
Support & uptime
Preventive maintenance, spares and remote diagnostics so the cell keeps running at the rate it was designed for.
Laboratory & medical equipment
Laboratory and clinical equipment for research, pathology and healthcare facilities — specified, installed and kept in service.
Specification & supply
Equipment selected against the facility's workflow, throughput and space, and sourced through established manufacturers.
Installation & commissioning
Fit-out coordination, services connection and commissioning checks before first use.
Calibration & servicing
Scheduled calibration and preventive maintenance, with documented service records for every instrument.
Lifecycle management
Asset registers, replacement planning and end-of-life handling, so equipment is renewed before it becomes a risk.
Built for assets that have to perform for decades.
We don't hand over a system and walk away. Every install is treated as a long-lived asset — instrumented, measured and managed so it keeps delivering against the model it was designed to.
Assess
Site, process or facility requirements, load profile and feasibility.
Engineer
System design, modelling and approvals.
Build
Delivery, installation and commissioning.
Operate
Monitoring, maintenance, energy and data management.
Assets as a Service.
Vieuxpont funds equipment from its own capital. You get the asset, the installation and the maintenance for one monthly fee — with no upfront purchase.
Buying high-value equipment outright ties up capital before the asset has earned anything, and leaves maintenance as an unplanned cost. Under Assets as a Service, Vieuxpont supplies and installs the equipment, then charges a single monthly fee that covers both the capital cost and ongoing servicing.
The expense sits alongside the revenue the asset generates instead of ahead of it, which keeps cash in the business. It's available across all three sectors — energy infrastructure, robotics and automation, and laboratory and medical equipment.
Talk to us about financingEquipment supplied
Vieuxpont sources, funds and owns the asset. Nothing to purchase up front.
Installed and commissioned
Delivered through the same engineering and build process as any project we run.
Maintenance included
Scheduled servicing and repairs are part of the fee, not an extra invoice.
Capital cost spread monthly
The cost of the equipment is built into the fee, so cash stays in the business.
Alan “Rick” Vippond — founder.
50+ years on the tools
Vieuxpont was founded by Alan “Rick” Vippond, an electrician with more than 50 years in the trade and one of Australia's early solar pioneers. Rick completed his first solar installation in 1991 — long before rooftop arrays were a common sight — and has spent the decades since turning hands-on field experience into how the company engineers, builds and operates technical assets today.
The standards here were set by someone who has watched systems run for thirty years — and knows exactly what it takes to keep them performing.
Let's build something that lasts.
Tell us about the asset you're planning — a site, a process or a facility — and we'll come back with a clear view of what's possible, and what it costs to own or to subscribe.
