These include water treatment plants, wastewater treatment processes, pump stations and more. They have designed and built major industrial plants across New Zealand and serviced significant industrial and infrastructure clients. Most of the projects MaxTarr has undertaken this year however have been of a smaller scale than usual, but there’s been sufficient work to keep all divisions engaged. At Woodville, the upgrade to an existing pump station, including constructing a new intake screen has gone well and is expected to be finished by late October. “We’ve also done a small treatment plant upgrade for Norsewood which involved a treatment system for the removal of iron and manganese. The economies of scale on that project were quite challenging given its small scale.” Often the work involves undertaking upgrades on existing plant and Reece says this brings challenges of working around existing infrastructure and keeping services operating. Design Build projects are where MaxTarr excel and an example of this is the construction of fluoridation infrastructure for Tararua District Council. “Early last year some new Best Practice guides were grounded for fluoridation supply and there were a number of new learnings for us. Systems and standards have become much more prescriptive in nature in this area.” Asked what makes MaxTarr such a successful enterprise Reece puts it down to some simple realities. “The big part is the people and the leadership which gives people freedom and the trust to get on and develop and deliver quality outcomes. Trust in people is huge in this company and everyone feels part of the culture and journey.”
