RURAL SERVICES » Heliventures NZ do a lot of firefighting for FENZ (Fire & Emergency New Zealand). Effectively we have morphed the business into anything you can do with a helicopter and, within reason, we have the equipment to do the job. We do a small amount of tourism work, and it is something that we are working on with the Waitaki District Council to further grow that part of the business.” Heliventures core agricultural area on a dayto-day basis runs from Palmerston, through the Maniototo, up the Lindis to Mount Cook, and then down through the MacKenizie to Timaru. For everything else, the company operates New Zealand wide. “It is mainly South Island, but we have tendered for contracts in the North Island. We do quite a lot of powerline construction and that takes us far afield, as far north as Keri Keri where we completed a large contract with Network Waitaki, our local lines company. We’re very proud of what we have achieved within an ever-changing industry. The way we have set the business up has made us very efficient and prompt at what we do. We don’t have long lead times to undertake and complete work. ”Being an aerial business, a focus on very high health and safety standards has been a key focus for all the team at Heliventures. “We are SMS (Safety Management Systems) certified by CAA and hold dual operating certificates – 135 and 137. We are also AIRCARE accredited, which assures clients that we operate to a high standard.” • Communication Solutions • Commercial and CB 2-way radios • Event hire radios • Lone worker safety • GPS and PLBs • Wireless internet ashcoms.co.nz 03 477 0065 25 Factory Road, Mosgiel communications Come in and see us for: • Structural Engineering • Plasma Cutting • Maintenance & Repair to farm equipment • Sheetmetal Fabrication • All your engineering retail needs, from Bearings & Oils to V-Belts & Welders Korora Road, North Oamaru Business Park | 03 434 90843 | www.apexengineering.co.nz Proud to provide Engineering support to Heliventures NZ Ltd
