Nelson City Council – Dam Aeration System
Maitai Dam Aeration System
IME was engaged to deliver full electrical and mechanical installation, along with end-to-end project management, for a bubble plume aeration system designed to enhance dam water quality for Nelson City Council.
The system was engineered to improve oxygenation and reduce stratification, supporting healthier aquatic conditions and long-term ecosystem stability. IME oversaw the installation of compressor systems, control panels, aeration pipelines, and diffusers — ensuring complete integration with existing infrastructure.
Along with our civil work partners Fulton Hogan the project was delivered safely, on schedule, and within budget, the project reflects our commitment to technical precision and collaborative outcomes for public infrastructure.
IME retro fitted 40 kVa three phase Emergency Diesel Generator and ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) on the Maitai site to ensure Scada and valve control for Nelson City water supply.
Nelson City Council - Neale Park Pump Station Upgrade
Industrial Marine Electrical Ltd (INMAR) is proud to have successfully delivered the comprehensive electrical and automation scope for the Neale Park Sewer Pump Station Upgrade (Project 1187). As a critical node in Nelson’s wastewater infrastructure, this project required high-level technical integration to ensure long-term resilience and operational efficiency.
Our team provided end-to-end electrical engineering, installation, and commissioning services to modernise the facility’s control systems and power redundancy.
Key Scope Deliverables & Technical Milestones:
Integrated Control Systems: Designed and installed custom, high-durability Sewer Pump Control Panels utilizing PLC technology to manage complex pump sequencing and grit chamber operations.
High-Capacity Pump Installation & Power Distribution:
A core component of our electrical scope was the installation and wiring of four heavy-duty submersible pumps: two 100kW units and two 55kW units. This involved the supply and installation of specialist heavy-gauge cabling to withstand the demanding load and environmental conditions. To ensure precision flow management and energy efficiency, each pump was integrated with high-specification Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), allowing for sophisticated motor control and reduced mechanical stress during peak flow events
Regional Telemetry Modernisation: Successfully integrated the station into the Nelson City Council’s wider network as part of our 46-site Telemetry replacement project, utilising RTUs and Data Radio communication for robust data transmission.
Power Redundancy & Resilience: Executed the full electrical fit-out of the newly constructed Standby Generator facility, including the supply and install of two new 500kVA and the refurbishment and install of the original 450kVA Genset. The three-generator control system has full mains failure detection synchronizing transition, ensuring seamless automated power transfer and uninterrupted service during grid failures.
Advanced SCADA Integration: Deployed and configured the Wonderware Intouch SCADA interface, providing the Council with real-time remote monitoring, data logging, and predictive maintenance alerts.
Hazardous Area Specialisation: Performed all installations within the wet well and treatment areas to strict Hazardous Area (Ex) standards, ensuring safety and longevity in highly corrosive hydrogen sulphide (H2S) environments.
Efficiency & Odour Management: Installed Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) for precision flow control and provided power and automated logic for the site’s ozone-based odour extraction and treatment systems.
This project further solidifies Industrial Marine Electrical Ltd.’s position as the region’s specialist in industrial automation and municipal infrastructure, delivering technical excellence that protects both the community and the environment
Alliance Group Nelson Plant
Alliance Group Nelson – 2005 to 2025 Annual Maintenance Shutdown:
Between May and August annually, we complete four to seven week programmed maintenance shutdown for the site. We assisted the site’s Chief Engineer with the electrical program four weeks before the shutdown, arranged material to be delivered to site prior to the shutdown and a team a Industrial Marine Electricians worked six days a week to complete the Electrical work list before the start of the processing season.
We are the preferred Electrical service provider for the Alliance Group, Nelson Plant and our company supplies electrical services for them on a 24-hour call out service to cover the two shifts at the site.
Fairfield Orchards
State-of-the-Art Packhouse
At Fairfield Orchards, we are proud to be associated with the installation and commissioning of this cutting-edge technology and innovation. the upgraded, fully automated packhouse, which was installed in the 5 months prior to the beginning of operations in March 2023. The line is made up of three main control cabinet, housing multiple variable speed drives, DOL starters and PLC automation control, that runs the scanners, graders, automated Aporo packers, there is manual packing lines as well, automated box erectors, automated conveyor system, a sealer and completing the line is two robotic pallet stackers. With the ability to produce an apple case every 3 seconds, this innovation must significantly improve both productivity and product consistency
