Why us

Hazardous-area specialists, not generalists.

Classifying and certifying explosive atmospheres is a discipline of its own. We focus on it — so you get a documented, defensible compliance position that stands up to insurers, auditors and councils.

01

One partner, whole journey

Survey → classification → design/upgrade → independent inspection & sign-off → verification dossier. No handoffs between surveyor, electrician and inspector.

02

20 years in explosive atmospheres

Ammonia refrigeration, oil & gas, flour and milk-powder dust, bitumen and methanol. We've worked the environments most contractors won't touch.

03

Standards-led & defensible

Everything mapped to AS/NZS 60079, EEHA and IECEx/Ex — with the paperwork to prove it when your insurer or council asks.

04

Backed by NZ Electrical Solutions

The full weight of a 50-strong national industrial electrical team — and 24/7 site support — behind every inspection and upgrade.
