A nationwide company now with branches in the south including Christchurch, Queens-town and Invercargill, Aquaheat purchased CH Faul in Southland in mid-2024 and continues to operate the business under the same name. Regional manager for Queenstown/ Central Otago and Southland Danny Dover said Aquaheat was engaged to carry out the full mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection (MEPF) design and build package for the new museum. Also the national MEP manager, Danny said the company purchased CH Faul because of its strong history - which has been part of Southland since 1949. Acquiring the office space, retaining all of the staff and keeping the same branding has been crucial to the success of the business. Alongside all of the local people working on the new museum rebuild, Aquaheat has teamed up with other local contractors as well. “We’re working closely with the project team to ensure a seamless and high-quality deliv-ery, providing a future-proofed solution for this significant development.” Aquaheat had a unique selling point of difference in that it was the only commercial building services company in New Zealand that offered a fully integrated service and in that design and build space. The scope includes: • Design from concept through to building consent and IFC documentation • Construction, commissioning, and handover of all building services Other significant projects the company has been involved in the south include the Skyline Gondola upgrade in Queenstown, numerous hotel developments including the Rydges, and most recently work with the Ministry of Education on James Hargest College in Invercargill. The company’s portfolio continues to grow as it strengthens its services across a wider cross section of the country. Looking ahead, Aquaheat has a strong pipeline of work, with the majority focused on MEPF Design and Build. “As the business grows, so does our team — we’re bringing in new talent to meet the de-mand, including design managers, project managers, and site managers across the lower South Island. “Our success comes down to our team of high performers and the collaborative culture we’ve built together.” Future-proofing the Museum
