Services

Installation, upgrade, shutdown, handover.

Electrical and mechanical work on industrial sites across the South Island.

New plant, new lines and new buildings

Industrial electrical and mechanical installations

We install the electrical and mechanical services together on industrial projects, from supply and distribution through to the final connection and the services that feed the plant.

Both trades are carried in-house, so the set-down, the services and the connection are covered by the same team.

Crane lifting equipment onto a plant structure

Installing, moving and tying in machinery that has to keep running

Machine installation, plant upgrades and relocations

Machine installation from the pad up — set-down, levelling, services and connection — plus machine moves, line extensions, replacement plant and integrating new equipment into an installation that was never drawn for it.

It usually comes with constraints — a fixed window, a live building, plant either side that can't stop. We plan the sequence around those constraints first and price the work second.

There's a waterjet in our workshop, which is useful on this kind of job — mounts, brackets and adaptor plates can be made rather than ordered in.

The equipment that moves product, air and water — and what controls it

Motors, drives, pumps and control systems

Motors and drives, pumps and pumping systems, and the control, protection and pipework around them. Installation, replacement, alignment and the electrical work that lands it.

Both the mechanical and the electrical side are covered, from the pipework and alignment through to the starter, the drive and the protection.

Control and automation sits here rather than in a category of its own: variable speed drives and soft starters, motor control centres, PLC and HMI systems, and the instrumentation feeding them.

Planned work, and the call-outs in between

Shutdowns, maintenance, fault finding and repair

Shutdown work is scoped and sequenced against the window: what goes in it, what gets prepared beforehand, and what the fallback is if something opens up that wasn't in the plan.

Alongside it, planned maintenance on installed plant and the call-out end of the work — fault finding and repair on machinery that has stopped. That includes intermittent faults, undocumented modifications and plant with no drawings left.

Repairs cover both trades, and where a replacement part can't be bought it can often be made in our workshop.

Proven, documented and handed over properly

Testing, commissioning and project handover

Testing and commissioning is planned as its own phase with time allowed for it. Functional testing, results recorded, and defects closed out before handover.

Handover comes with the documentation: test results, as-installed marked up, and what the site needs to keep maintaining it.

Commercial buildings, dairy sheds and farms, sized against the load

Commercial and rural solar

Solar PV for commercial buildings and rural sites — rooftop systems on retail, hospitality and office buildings, and systems for dairy sheds, irrigation pumping, vineyards and farm buildings, on the roof or on the ground.

Systems are sized against how the site actually uses power: daytime and process load, plant demand, and what is worth exporting. Design, supply, installation, the grid-connect application and commissioning.

Where the system ties into existing switchboards or plant, that electrical work is included rather than left to someone else.

Under motors, drives and control systems

Control and automation.

Not a separate offering — it's part of the same work, and most plant jobs involve some of it.

Variable speed drives

Supply, install, set up and fault find — new drives and retrofits to existing motors.

Motor control

Starters, soft starters, motor control centres, protection and isolation.

PLC and HMI systems

Installation, I/O, commissioning and fault finding on plant control systems, working with the integrator where the programming is theirs.

Instrumentation

Field instruments, loop checks and the wiring back to the control system.

Specifications, drawings and site photos all help, along with the window you're working to — the outage, the access and the date you need it back.
