Taranaki is New Zealand's centre of heavy engineering, innovation and excellence. Domiciled in the region are a cluster of world class firms which include;
- Mechanical and electrical fabrication,
- Engineering design and project management,
- Comprehensive support services for the engineering industry.
Taranaki's engineering firms have established an enviable construction record. This has evolved whilst performing some of New Zealand's largest heavy engineering projects - primarily linked the growth of major oil, gas and petrochemical developments.
As a result of such evolution, which included servicing the requirements of global energy companies, Taranaki's engineering firms have established a proven track record in quality, safety, cost-efficiency and first class performance.
Taranaki is home to New Zealand’s leading engineering consortium, Engineering Taranaki, with over 250 years of combined engineering, design & fabrication experience and representing over 1000 tradespeople and over 200 professional engineers.
Taranaki is officially recognised as New Zealand’s premier region for engineering, which resulted in the creation of CApENZ (Centre of Applied Engineering New Zealand), representing over 100 engineering, manufacturing, design and specialist services companies across Taranaki.
As well as assisting the oil and gas industry, Taranaki firms continue to provide specialist services for a wide range of industries including customised solutions for the dairy industry on a local, national and international level.
A Proven Record of Performance in Engineering
Taranaki's engineering designers, fabricators and specialist services have a proven record of performance. They have particular experience in;
Pressure vessels,
Heat exchangers,
Reactors,
Digestors for the pulp and paper industry,
Gas pipelines for natural gas reticulation,
Storage tanks,
