Bay of Plenty industrial electrical contractors, Control Tech Ltd, have been providing land and water-based sectors with end-to-end customised control system technologies since 2008. Most recently, they have begun designing and building the automation system to control radial gates for the Rangitaiki Spillway project, designed to take pressure off the Rangitaiki River in a flood event. Specialists in designing and building control systems and remote monitoring control and diagnostics, Control Tech Ltd is owned by technical director Karam De Lacey and his wife Julia, the managing director. Motivated and committed problem solvers, Control Tech Ltd are renowned for top-tier automation system solutions across two distinct sectors - primary industries and local government infrastructure. “Across the Bay of Plenty, regional and district councils rely on us for water, wastewater, stormwater, and flood pumping technologies,” says Karam. “We also provide the horticultural sector with high end control system solutions for irrigation, frost protection and water management. Our clients get the reassurance and reliability to achieve sustainable top-quality results and we support some of the most successful growers and producers in New Zealand.” A Control Tech designed system and industrial monitoring and control platform, Ricado, enables real time data and on demand reporting via PC or App including SMS alerts for critical system issues. “This helps ground staff make better informed decisions by providing accurate data and diagnostics,” says Julia. Control Tech Ltd is a SHE Prequal accredited contractor to local government authorities in Waikato and Bay of Plenty says Karam, referencing their current role as a main contractor to the Bay of Plenty Regional Council on the Rangitaiki Spillway project. This multi-stage flood protection project diverts waterflow from the Rangitaiki River during a flood event, via a spillway into a stop bank floodway nearby and out to the river mouth at Thornton. “This will divert floodwaters away from Edgecumbe,” says Karam. “And we’re engaged to design and build the automation system for the gates.” Construction of the spillway began in January and involves constructing a 114m concrete-capped fixed crest weir and three radial gates on the Rangitaiki River beside Hydro Road, Edgecumbe. Forming part of a wider network of flood protection along the Rangitaiki River. Control Tech Ltd also maintain flood pumping stations through the Rangitaiki Plains and Lower Kaituna catchment for the Bay of Plenty Regional Council as well as similar flood protection infrastructure across Hauraki for the Waikato Regional Council. A key differentiator for Control Tech is their commitment to in-house design and construction.
