At last the foundations are taking shape for Room 8 at Manawatu Cold Store. As the extension to the Fielding plant needs to be up and running in time for next year’s start of the summer kill (November) the pressure is on but builders Humphries construction are capable of handllng the complex build.

Improvements to the Wellington motorway system, its seawalls, adjoining cycle lanes and their stormwater network have been supported by Solo, providing their large-pipe knowledge and helical HDPE to this complex product.

Technicool has supplied CO2 systems successfully, but never to a venison processing plant. This installation – the first of its kind, was very successful as CO2 has such small piping in comparison to other refrigerants that the impact on the building is minimal.

Solo plastics has been tasked with producing the fittings to match the pipe in the CIVILPIPE range. Two parallel types of fittings have been produced – one that are modifications of existing fittings by Solo but with one or more of the inlets or outlets modified to accept the twinwall pipe (the remainder staying sized for PVC), the second of bends mad entirely of the CIVILPIPE product. Now the full range of Tees, Wyes, reducers and bends are ready to be supplied with the pipe.

The expansion of INFRAPIPE into twinwall pipe manufacture has concluded with the commissioning of a second line in Palmerston North, capable of manufacturing 6m pipes in ID sizes 300,375, 450, 525, 600, 800 & 1000 in SN ratings of 6, 8 & 16. The range has been designed to be seamlessly compatible with the KRAH offering so for complex and sizable jobs, the twinwall can be used for long, simple runs and the Krah for the complex or high strength applications.

Solo site-welding team have often been referred to as magicians. In this instance, they were able to squeeze a suspended tank for stormwater detention into the underground car park of an apartment block to replace a condemned steel one, but now only occupying a fraction of the space, and they did it without any work on the building!

Technicool is a long term partner to the Port of Taurange and whenever the Air Conditioning on a tug or a crane is due for a service or a replacement, they are on hand to keep those critical components of the logistical infrastructure within safe and effective working temperatures.

The last of the Galloway Aquatanks Urban tanks has now completed moulding trials and has the green light for sale. The full range of 1,2 & 3,000L tanks are the price-fighter option that sits alongside the elegant, premium Ngaru offering in 1,3 & 5,000L. All are available in a dozen different colours too!

INFRAPIPE has moved into twinwall pipe manufacture with the commissioning of a corrugating extrusion line in East Tamaki. The machine will manufacture core tube for the Krah line, subsurface drainage coil in 110 and 165 diameters plus 6m long culvert pipes in sizes with ID 100,150,225 & 300 in SN ratings of 6, 8 & 16
