Innovating Regional Wastewater
Just over 40,000 people live in the idyllic settings around Lake Taupo in the centre of New Zealand’s North Island and the tourist town’s population often increases to around 150,000 at various times throughout the year.
Along with being one of the country’s busiest holiday destinations in the summer months, Taupo is famous for its exciting calendar of motorsport, cycling, iron man and festival events and this influx of visitors regularly tests the region’s infrastructure and requires careful ongoing management.
Chris Hector, an electrical consultant working for Taupo District Council, says that ensuring continuity of service in water and wastewater for residents and guests is a critical factor in maintaining Taupo as one of New Zealand premium tourist destinations…

Samoa’s airport is getting two new Ventech Systems weather monitoring enclosures
Building a weather monitoring enclosure for MetService is an honor and a great opportunity to put them to the test – particularly when you pass all necessary standards.
Our newly designed weather monitoring enclosures will soon be based at the Faleolo International Airport site at Fuailao in Samoa.

Ventech Systems at Comms Connect
