And Napier Engineering Co is Vital to helping make this happen

HASTINGS, HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND, April 20, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pressure Vessel Specialists Napier Engineering Co is vital to the Port of Napier’s Bid to Become New Zealand's East Coast Oil Services HQ

Pressure vessels are at the core of any energy engineering project of any size,type or scope at all. It was for example its skill with pressure vessels that saw Fitzroy Engineering become the pivotal New Zealand owned oil exploration and production engineer from the start of Taranaki oil in the 1970s.

Their east coast equivalent is Napier Engineering which like Fitzroy has its works within a very short distance of a deep water port, in this case, Port of Napier.

Confirming its ability in this high end branch of the heavy engineering market, Napier Engineering backed up its reputation in pressure vessels when it delivered recently a series of vessels to the Taupo geothermal field.

In additions to its qualifications in the boiler – pressure vessel sector Napier Engineering also has a background in pipe spooling and bridging.

The company has a solid reputation in the entire pressure sector, notably in the boilers and piping installed in a series of freezing works it built in the old USSR during the bi-lateral era.
The presence of Napier Engineering makes it a key component of the Port of Napier’s bid to become the central east coast oil exploration and production services port.

Continuing problems with influential anti-oil exploration activists mean that the Port of Auckland is now viewed as an unlikely base of any consequence for anything to do with oil or gas. Indeed the recent middle class yachties agitation against wharf development at Auckland is being viewed as a longer term see what’s going to happen indication of more trouble to come should the port throw out a welcoming hawser to the oil and gas expro sector.

This will not be a problem for Napier which shares with New Plymouth’s Port Taranaki a generalised community realisation of the importance to it of heavy engineering.

Napier Engineering experience in this sphere also extends to tank farm construction and marine engineering.

With the revolving door series of mergers and acquisitions increasingly putting regional keystone employer Heinz Watties beyond the reach of New Zealand interests, there is an increasing urgency to ready Port of Napier as the nation’s east coast oil and energy services port.

The presence of Napier Engineering as heavy engineer-in –residence is an equally important asset in this vital regional quest.
