Vipac Engineers & Scientists

A fully accredited, leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancy and testing laboratory. Proudly

Established in 1973, Vipac Engineers & Scientists Ltd has organically grown to become one of Australia’s leading engineering testing laboratories and consultancies. The name, Vipac, stems from our original competencies which included vibration (Vi), pressure (p), and acoustics (ac) testing. Today, Vipac offers an all-inclusive service, able to comprehensively test and report on all manner of air d

istribution, cybersecurity, defence & aerospace, electrical safety, environmental, facade, instrumentation, metrology, thermal, traffic, whitegood (performance), and wind engineering. Our consultancy services are offered those who require acoustics & vibration, building, infrastructure, environment, and industrial occupation testing. Vipac Engineers & Scientists is, importantly, BSI (AS/NZS4801, ISO 9001, ISO 14001), ILAC MRA, NATA, and A2LA (for environmental testing in Sydney) certified. The company is also recognised by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) – making us Australia’s only ambient environmental tester for the marine sector. Proudly Australian owned and operated, Vipac Engineers & Scientists has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. These are home to over 100 qualified and experienced specialists in their respective fields. Furthermore, Vipac offers holistic engineering testing services whereby we test, recommend, apply amendments, then test again prior to completion of our reports. The world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa; Australia’s first satellite in over three decades, FedSat; Singapore’s Changi Airport; Jakarta’s Golden Snail (IMAX theatre); the world’s largest greenhouse, Gardens by the Bay; and the world’s first round deep-water drilling rig, COSCO, are just some of the engineering feats Vipac have provided invaluable testing for.

Today, we join our engineering colleagues in celebrating World Engineering Day (WED) 2026! Engineers change landscapes and cities and often go unrecognised for their contribution to society. WED highlights the fundamental role engineers have in developing the modern world.

At Vipac, we are proud of our engineers specialising in space, Defence, tall building technology, and many other disciplines. We support them as they take on diverse testing & evaluation projects and push the boundaries into the future.

We were pleased to assist RMIT by performing vibration testing on the ALEPH-1 payload – a project led by Lunaria One that will launch later this year, developing and testing a controlled environment to support plant life on the Moon. Another step by us into the space industry, we tested the payload’s resilience to its future journey to the Moon.

We've expanded our IP testing capabilities with the commissioning of a new IP5X/IP6X dust chamber. The chamber has a capacity of 28,000 litres (28m³) with internal dimensions of 3.5m (L) × 2.3m (W) × 3.5m (H). It subjects electrical enclosures, equipment, and switchboards to extreme dust or sand conditions, thoroughly challenging their sealing performance — ideal for qualification testing in accordance with AS/IEC 60529.

This dust chamber is also capable of performing the Turbulent Dust Test in accordance with Defence standard DEF STAN 00-35, Part 3, Test CL25, Section 2.3.
