Our What
We work with clients all over New Zealand, providing expertise and support to the Dairy, Meat, Beverage, Geothermal, Forestry, Energy and Building Materials Manufacturing industries.
We support our clients throughout the entire project lifecycle from initial investigations, feasibility studies, and front-end engineering, through to detailed design, construction monitoring, site supervision, and leading or undertaking commissioning activities.
Our engineers and designers are seldom bored. We work on diverse and interesting projects requiring superior engineering and design skills to solve complex and challenging problems. We design various mechanical services, piping systems, and plant for industrial sites, including water, steam, compressed air, chemical, effluent and refrigeration systems. We also specialise in pressure equipment, pressure piping and seismic design of storage tanks and mechanical structures such as pipe racks and platforms.
Our project and design managers support our clients by managing the design and execution of small, medium, and very large projects. We specify, tender, award, and administrate contracts and lead the construction monitoring and commissioning of the systems and services we design.
Many of our staff become chartered engineers and we foster an environment to support and assist developing our staff to meet their career goals.
