Connetics has depots in Christchurch, Tawa and Cromwell, and two stores on the West Coast and in Paraparaumu. When combined with its design and engineering consultancy and supply and logistics capability, Connetics has a unique offering, says Connetics Chief Executive John Thompson. “We are rare in that our business spans from the design to delivery and maintenance. This means our clients benefit from our wider team working together.” Connetics’ design and engineering solutions include overhead line design, electrical reticulation design, substation design, green grid design, smart cities and lighting design and construction. The Connetics field services division provides contracting solutions for clients, including electricity distribution businesses, local bodies, industrial and commercial giants, and large-scale property developers. It is a specialist provider of procurement, warehouse management and logistical services to network utility and contracting companies throughout New Zealand. Connetics is involved in key projects in the Canterbury region including recently completing the electrical, associated civil, security and lighting upgrades for the Lyttelton Port dry-dock upgrade. Connetics also manages the fault response on behalf of Orion from Christchurch to Arthurs Pass. When windstorms hit earlier this year the Connetics team was busy helping Orion restore power to communities when lines were damaged. John says that Connetics’ capabilities and depth of experience come from its rich history as a key player in New Zealand’s electrical supply story. In recent times Connetics has played a pivotal role after the Christchurch earthquakes, New Zealand’s largest emergency response situation where power was cut to 75% of the city and the underground network and infrastructure were significantly damaged. Crews worked day and night to help restore power to Christchurch. John says it is an exciting time to be in the industry with new challenges arising as New Zealand shifts towards decarbonisation. He says that Connetics remains future-focused and is positioned well to adapt to the changing times. QUALITY POWER GENERATORS HIRE, SALES AND SERVICE OF www.qpower.co.nz 0800 230 400 . . .
