For more than a decade, Siemsatec has provided Alexandra Palace with ongoing support for their Building Management System (BMS), delivering both strategic upgrades and comprehensive service maintenance. Their expertise has ensured the estate continues to operate efficiently and in line with modern building standards.

Challenges & Objectives

Before implementing our strategy, our client faced several financial hurdles, including:

  • The existing Jelnet BMS had become obsolete and required a modern, fully supported replacement.
  • The upgrade needed to be delivered in stages due to budget constraints.
  • Operational continuity across the historic site had to be maintained during the transition.
  • The refurbishment of the derelict theatre required sensitive BMS integration during restoration

Siemsatec executed a carefully planned, phased upgrade from the outdated Jelnet system to a modern Trend BMS.Led by Commercial Director Gavin Shepherd, the team provided hands-on technical guidance, proactive communication, and high-standard service delivery.The approach focused on meeting Alexandra Palace’s operational requirements while respecting financial limitations, ensuring modernisation could take place without compromising quality.

  • A fully upgraded, robust, and efficient Trend BMS aligned with current building standards.
  • Improved overall building performance and long-term system reliability.
  • Successful delivery of a budget-sensitive phased upgrade strategy.
  • Seamless BMS integration during the restoration of the previously derelict theatre, now a functioning theatre and creative space.
  • A strong, ongoing partnership built on trust, professionalism, and consistent service excellence.

In 2023, Siemsatec upgraded The Royal Society of Science’s BMS from legacy IQ2 and 963 systems to the advanced IQ4 and IQVision platforms. This modernization improved operational efficiency, enhanced building management capabilities, and reinforced the long-standing 15-year partnership between Siemsatec and the society.

Siemsatec has provided 7 years of exemplary BMS service to the South London and Maudsley (SLaM) Trust, earning the renewal of its maintenance contract. Their customer-focused approach, 24/7 emergency support, and expertise in secure healthcare environments ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and reliable system operation.

Siemsatec upgraded the historic Tea Trade Wharf BMS by replacing outdated IQ2 controllers with modern IQ5 units, integrating T1L network capabilities and a bespoke IQVision supervisor. The project improved energy management, plant control, and sustainability, all while minimizing disruption to residents and optimizing costs.

Siemsatec delivered the Building Management System (BMS) for the Willowfield building at King’s College Hospital, the campus’s first fully electrified building. Using Trend BMS alongside air-source heat pumps and a Mitsubishi QTon system for DHWS, the project achieved on-time, on-budget delivery through close collaboration with the M&E contractor, TClarke, and meticulous commissioning.
