Structural Steel Manufacturer - Christchurch

The challenge

Structural steel manufacturers, Pegasus Engineering, approached Industrial Air Systems in 2012 for a solution to their compressed air needs.  They were building a new state-of-the-art factory in Rolleston which required compressed air piping, and a large compressor to meet their fluctuating air supply.

New factory for Engineering company, Christchurch NZ

The solution

After consulting with the company's Managing Director, Gavin Lawry, at the early design stage, a 180HP compressor was recommended with variable speed drive to ensure power savings during low-demand periods could be maximised. A refrigerated dryer, filtration and 63mm aluminium ring-main piping system accompanied this to provide class-2 air quality.

The results

Pegasus Engineering's Managing Director, Gavin Lawry, stated:

“The air compressor is quiet and reliable, and on the occasions the compressor required a scheduled service, a back-up compressor was supplied and plugged in, to assure air continuity.

We have found Industrial Air Systems NZ to be an honest, straight forward and reliable supplier, with very good service turnaround, responding instantly to our enquiries.

The PneuTech compressed air plant appears to be of very heavy duty and good quality, and with the company’s expertise and experience, we have been able to equip our state-of-the-art workshop with a high performance and reliable compressed air system.

I am a happy customer and have no hesitation, recommending both Industrial Air systems expertise and the PneuTech compressed air equipment to any manufacturing or processing plant, whose life blood is compressed air.”
