MEETING THE HIGHEST INDUSTRY STANDARDS — YOUR ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR GROUNDING AND BONDING

Reducing Bushfires and Outages

Increasing Safety, Resilience and Reliability

NGCC (New Generation Covered Conductor) delivers underground like reliability at a fraction of the cost, materially reduces vegetation/animal fault risk, improves public and crew safety, and aligns with NZ standards and evolving vegetation regulations making it a pragmatic resilience investment for 11 & 22kV feeders across rural and urban New Zealand. Available in 3 standard sizes: 25 mm² ACSC (SWER, long rural spans), 62 mm² ACSR and 159 mm² AAAC.

RESILIENT

Stronger and safer during vegetation contact

PUBLIC & ANIMAL SAFETY

Purpose-built accessories for composite crossarms

Crossarms are fundamentally the backbone in powerline construction. Historically made of hardwood, there is variation entering the industry by way of galvanised steel and composite options. With the limited supply of tropical and Australian hardwoods putting pressure on availability, it’s time to embrace these alternatives.

Composite crossarms require a specific set of accessories and we’ve got a full range in stock ready to fit. Made from galvanised steel, these accessories are built to last.
