Industrial and electrical design and installation of an ultra-filtration processing plant. Site-wide power meter database at Fonterra, Clandeboye
Client : Liquid Technologies NZ Ltd, Auckland. Client : Fonterra, Clandeboye
Project : The project involved the installation of 9000amps of connected load and the connection of 2000 PLC I/O, including new motor control centres and programmable controller systems.  It was completed under a very tight time frame requiring a double shift approach by the ICSC installation crew.

Industrial Controls was responsible for the site design and complete installation and documentation for this project.  We provided Liquid Technologies with the full solution to enable their project to be delivered effectively to Fonterra on time.

 Project : Develop a system to collect RealTime data and report on Clandeboye's site-wide power usage.

This required the metering of signals from all downstream 400V sites and the two 33kV incoming supplies.  The information gathered from these sites is logged onto the site's automation architecture and pulled into the site's energy Intouch application.  Half-hourly reports are made available to management.

This project has provided NZMP with a number of invaluable information resources, including:
"One of the keys to the success with this project was due to Industrial Controls taking 100% ownership of the electrical design, installation and commissioning of the project, and their forward thinking to avert any issues that can arise on such a fast moving project."

  • RealTime logging of energy demand.
  • Consumption reports, including by process area, time of day and time of year.
  • Records of peak loadings on the power networks.
  • Opportunity to identify power wastage and implement energy efficiency programmes.
  • Costing analysis for budgeting.
The overall result was a very successful energy management system.
