SNC-Lavalin Energy Control Systems Inc. (SLECS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin Inc., has been awarded a contract by SPARQ Solutions Pty Ltd., a subsidiary of ENERGEX, an Australian corporation managing energy distribution networks, to upgrade its Distribution Management System (DMS) in Brisbane, Queensland.
SLECS will provide project management services, as well as engineering, testing, installation, commissioning and training for the DMS system, part of its GENe line of products.

"SNC-Lavalin’s GENe DMS provides all of the features we need to manage our distribution network, now and in the future."
Work on the project is underway, and the new DMS will be operational by May 2008.
