Building & Equipment Update

Stage 3 of the Timaru branch building alterations is now completed,

An NDT and RT processing facility is now operational in fiji which continues to be a large part of the Company operation. Having equipment and facilities in Fiji gives a much smoother and faster turn around which keeps costs minimised.

Design Engineering now has a 14m Aichi Elevating Work Platform for those difficult high places we sometimes need to get to.

Dunedin has got a small test lab facility built recently and is taking in a growing amount of work including some very large castings which get UT and MT testing.

Christchurch has a fully operational mobile NDT trailer for site work and has recntly got a new custom designed MT & PT facility and RT processing room built in its drive in workshop/test laboratory. A alteration/upgraded smoko room facility has been completed and a specialised RT enclosure room has been built.

Ramblings

 Design Engineering remains busy despite some global and national problems and has some major work on its books. This includes work on the new Christchurch International Airport Control Tower, Wind towers in NZ, Australia and Antarctica, Shopping Malls, Hotels in Queenstown, telecommunication poles and other large new retail and commercial properties. Staff have been regularly going to Fiji, Australia and Samoa to carry out work on quite a few projects including tanks, pipelines, large multi storey buildings, sugar mills, wharf ship loader and wealthy residential holiday properties.

Remember Design Engineering is one of the larger steel detailers in the country and can churn out up to 25 tonne per week of drawings and material summaries.
