SPI secured the contract to build for Tenix (BAE) several in-shore and off-shore patrol vessel modules. SPI completed 2 x 28 tonne off-shore vessel modules, 3 x 22 tonne (aft modules) and 2 x keel and fuel modules. These were all successfully transported after hours (piloted) from our yard in Ruakaka up SH 1 to the port of Whangarei. SPI also fabricated all of the pipework for the fuel oil, lube oil, and cooling water systems.

Point Forward Project – New Zealand Refining Company

SPI was one of the main mechanical contractors for The Point Forward Project (PFP) for the New Zealand Refining Company.  Our involvement in this project was the fabrication in our Ruakaka workshop, of approximately 4 kms of process piping (carbon and stainless steel) ranging from 15mm (½”) up to 900mm (36”) diameter. After coating, fabricated piping and associated platforms were delivered to site for installation and erection. The off-site work kept 24 personnel engaged for more than 12 months and our on-site work kept an average of 40 personnel (peaking at 80) engaged for over 18 months.
