Developing Engineering Standards

We are industry leaders at delivering HV electrical standards that are:

Clear and concise using the latest information mapping techniques.
Comprehensive and practical to implement.
Developed with a consistent format and writing style.
Completed fast and efficiently.
Aligned with the latest New Zealand legislation and best practices, including AS/NZS, IEC, IEEE, EEA, BS, ISO, SSPC, NETA, New Zealand Regulations, Acts, and Codes of Practice.

We have 17 years of real engineering experience and intellectual property. We are not just writers; technical knowledge and skills are our foundation.

Data Standards and Fixing Asset Data

We bring extensive experience and expertise in:

Developing clear and comprehensive data standards.
Mapping and organising data hierarchical structures that are simple and user-friendly.
Evaluating what data is worth capturing and what isn’t - based on Engineering experience.
Benchmarking against how other power companies manage their asset data.
Applying technical proficiency in Excel, VBA, and AI tools.
Clear communication with engineers, IT professionals, and data teams.

We are engineers and we don’t just apply existing formulas, we challenge data structures to ensure soundness.

HV Cable Engineering

Transpower and Northpower rely on our services for:

HVAC Withstand Test Engineering (110kV & 220kV).
Partial Discharge Test Engineering (110kV & 220kV).
Technical Investigations
HV Cable Engineering (110kV & 220kV).

Leveraging Duncan's HV cable expertise which began with Project NAaN (220kV, 37km long) in 2009 for Transpower, we have successfully delivered a substantial portfolio of projects.

Gap Analysis

We analyse Electricity Distributor's maintenance standards and identifying:

Non-conformances with legally binding legislation.
