Fonterra Te Rapa Ammonia Engine Rooms Hazardous Area Upgrades
Over the course of 5 years, we designed and implemented ammonia engine room hazardous area monitoring and control upgrades for 6 engine rooms across the Te Rapa site, implementing Fonterra’s strategy for standardised controls. One of these, namely the Plate Freezer room, was done under tight timeframes after a 10T ammonia leak caused a site wide evacuation of several weeks. Our work formed part of a broader upgrade of ammonia safety.

MCC Replacement – Maungaturoto
The Whey Plant was automated, rewired and had the MCC’s replaced in 2009. Our scope included the design of the electrical services and associated work.
Gas Hazardous Areas – Kauri
Natural Gas represents a significant risk across some industrial sites because mains gas is piped extensively and used for raising process steam and hot water in packaged boilers.
