84 | Installation and Piping Services CONTRACTING Hamilton’s Installation and Piping Services is assisting a raft of customers in the food and beverage industries to upgrade their production equipment, improve their efficiency, and meet ever-rising environmental standards. Installation and Piping Services is a growing and progressive company with the core of its work in stainless-steel fabrication and installation. With a highly skilled and proficient team, Installation and Piping Services has earned an unmatched reputation for meeting deadlines, while maintaining the highest standards of quality on projects large and small. The company is proud to count amongst its client base world leaders in their fields, and is committed to delivering the high standards of stainless-steel fabrication and installation they require. Installation and Piping Services offers installation of process and services piping, equipment erection/installation and mounting, plant and equipment relocation, plant maintenance and refurbishment, and site supervision, both locally and worldwide. With a fully equipped workshop, Installation and Piping Services meets an ever-increasing demand for quality fabrication and construction including hoppers, ducting, platforms, and valve manifolds. Installation and Piping Services operations manager, Ed Hewer says despite the scale of some of its clients, the recession is affecting them too, so many of the big projects or new builds are not currently happening. Still, with food and beverage industry standards constantly on the improve, upgrade projects continue at a fairly rapid pace. Upgrade projects on the go Installation and Piping Services offers installation of process and services piping, equipment erection/installation and mounting, plant and equipment relocation, plant maintenance and refurbishment, and site supervision. T T Kelly Deeks “The dairy factories are all about efficiency, emissions, and wastewater,” he says. “Many dairy factories in the country will be looking at upgrading their wastewater system, and we don’t mind chasing those projects. Wastewater is a big thing in the Waikato at the moment and a growing market for everyone, especially since the milk volume has gone down, so the new-build dairy factories are few and far between. “Most of the work is in upgrading existing production systems, making them more energy-efficient and bringing them up to new standards.” Installation and Piping Services is currently working on Fonterra Hautapu’s new $85 million wastewater treatment plant. This new facility, set to be commissioned next year, will process wastewater through a tank where microorganisms break down milk residue and other organic matter, reducing nitrogen and phosphorous and then clarifying, leaving clear, treated wastewater able to be irrigated onto one of Hautapu’s three management farms. A similar upgrade has recently been tendered for a Tatua dairy factory in Morrinsville, and Ed hopes his price and Installation and Piping Services’ reputation for pulling off successful projects will be the winner on the day. “We’ve got what I would call a ‘user-friendly’ team of people, and they are our strength,” he says. “We’ve had some really good supervisors over the years, who have contributed massively to our company culture and just getting the job done. They have been loyal; even though some of them have been independent contractors they have come back to us year after year. They like working for us and our customers like the people we are using, so they use us time and time again.” AUCKLAND - WHANGAREI - HAMILTON - TAURANGA - HASTINGS TAUPO - PALMERSTON NORTH - NELSON - CHRISTCHURCH - DUNEDIN PPS Industries are proud to support Installation and Piping Services For ABRASIVES • POLISHING • PLATING • ENGINEERING SUPPLIES .3 5*7843 3&9.43<.)* 0800 657 894 • www.ppsindustries.co.nz m. 021 941 860 | p. 03 381 1670 e. admin@sqa.co.nz Consultancy Services Inspection Services NDT Services
