To mitigate any potential noise, visual and acoustic screening was implemented through the creation of a landscaped bund and acoustic fence bordering the site facing the school.” Located in a rural area, the site also incorporates its own reticulated water supply and wastewater treatment facilities. Landpower represents some of the world’s leading brands of farm machinery, including CLAAS, AMAZONE, JCB (NZ) and Väderstad (AU), via a network of 33 company owned and franchised CLAAS Harvest Centres on both sides of the Tasman. In addition, Landpower directly supports sales and service for specialist vegetable farm machinery from GRIMME, ASA-LIFT and SPUDNIK. Richard says the existing CLAAS Harvest Centre at Templeton will be relocated to Yaldhurst once the new site is completed in mid-2024. 03 3277677 www.tdmelectrical.co.nz / admin@tdmelectrical.co.nz COMMERCIAL / INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS LAN3074 FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIANS - JOIN US • Work with high-performance farm machinery in a high-performance team • Join a global network with global career opportunities • Ongoing training and development To find out more email careers@landpower.co.nz
