Industrial Site Services Working at height in high wind zones is a challenging environment, but it’s all in a day’s work for Industrial Site Services. The company is busy working on the Tilt Renewables Waipipi Wind Farm project in South Taranaki. The project will see 31 wind turbines connected to the transmission lines 110kV network via 11 kilometres of 110kV transmission line to the Waverley Substation. Creating 133MW of power, with 64-metre long blades and working 95 metres up in the air, the project is a real testament to the skills of the team at Industrial Site Services, says Waikato area manager Brenden Solomon. He says a challenging aspect of this project has been getting wind turbine technicians. It’s a specialist field so Industrial Site Services previously had been flying technicians home from other projects overseas to meet demand, but of course with COVID-19 this has been difficult. So training has become a huge focus for the business. The project has also seen the company import a special TC2800 crane from Australia. “This project really shows that we, a New Zealand business, are very capable of meeting international standards and have the technical skills to get the job done.

It’s about good old fashioned Kiwi ingenuity. Industrial Site Service’s proven history of problem solving the hard stuff set them above the rest to get the job done.

Industrial Site Services Northland area manager, Mark Fanning, says that Industrial Site Services is a recognised achiever in the more difficult project tasks and in particular, heavy industrial maintenance and construction shut work at major installations such as power stations, refineries and pulp and paper plants.

“It has involved tight time frames and multiple teams working at the same time, so we’ve had to have very stringent scheduling.

It has been a challenging time for this region due to the drop in refined oil pricing hitting Marsden Point Refinery, the largest client of the Northland branch.

“It’s about good old fashioned Kiwi ingenuity. Industrial Site Service’s proven history of problem solving the hard stuff set them above the rest to get the job done,” says Brenden.

He says this has led Industrial Site Services to develop different markets and seek other opportunities in the region, for example specialised access services for residential and commercial building projects.

Industrial Site Services was formed in 1991 to answer the call of the industry to supply reliable, professional and innovative solutions to the rigging, scaffolding, engineering and heavy transport sectors.

Another new service is bitumen tank cleaning, which Industrial Site Services has completed for clients such as Downer and Hiway Stabilizers New Zealand.

As a family business, where customer service is paramount, Industrial Site Services has since won multiple awards for projects along with many industry organisation awards for excellence. The company has three branches: Northland, Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

A focus for the Northland branch is also ship repair projects and it has just completed a job installing scaffolding around a vessel and shrink wrapping it to make it water tight for repairs to be completed. Mark sees many more opportunities in this and other areas as the company continues to grow and adapt to changing times.
