NZ HQ: Kerikeri
Who do you work with and what key challenges do you help them solve?
For the past decade, Australasia Moulding Ltd has been providing prefabricated plastic manhole chamber solutions for the New Zealand drainage market.
Our innovative ROMOLD manhole chambers make the process of installing drainage child’s play, and are enthusiastically received by contractors. For developers, our chambers speed up progress on site and can lead to achieving title earlier. Council, who take ownership of the installed product, have an asset with superior durability and lower maintenance costs.
Australasia Moulding Ltd proudly works alongside our customers to ensure that solutions are tailored to their needs and delivered to their timelines.
Key services and resources
Australasia Moulding Ltd not only supply quality pre-fabricated ROMOLD manhole chamber solutions, but we also customise solutions to meet the exact needs of our customers.
Our core product solutions include:
- ROMOLD DN1000 pre-benched manhole chambers for use with PVC pipe.
- ROMOLD DN625 pre-benched maintenance chambers, ideal for shallow applications either public or private.
- Energy compensation chambers, that can reduce the energy of stormwater flow on steep pipelines.
- Discharge chambers, providing a corrosion-resistant collection point for pumped sewer.
- Special chambers, built to solve a specific problem or need for the project.
All of our solutions are detailed on our website, www.australasiamoulding.co.nz, which is a great starting point for engineers and contractors alike.
We understand that the best project solutions come from collaborative design, so always encourage early engagement in the design process.
What excites you about the work you do?
Our ROMOLD manhole chambers have been termed a “no-brainer” by our customers, and we think so too. There is nothing quite like seeing an application of the technology run smoothly on site, and knowing that the resulting asset will provide excellent service for the next 100 years. It is exciting to be involved with the right technology, made the right way, for the right reasons.
What recent news and highlights can you share about your work and impact?
Australasia Moulding Ltd has recently celebrated our first decade of operation. In this time we have seen hundreds of projects receiving thousands of manhole chambers. It has been extremely satisfying working within the New Zealand infrastructure market and seeing our products being so warmly received.
Our team has steadily grown to meet demands. Based in Kerikeri, Northland, we now have a dedicated team of engineers and fabrication staff who thrive on the work that we do, but also enjoy the lifestyle that the Bay of Islands has to offer. It is the perfect work-life balance for all of us.
Much as our team has grown, so has the solution set that we can offer our customers. From innovative stormwater energy dissipation chambers, to manholes specifically constructed for renewal applications, to solutions produced to dovetail in other complimentary industries. We are always looking for that next opportunity and love nothing more than working closely with our customers to put together a solution.
We are looking forward to the next decade of operation, and continuing to develop the valuable products that we provide to New Zealand infrastructure.
What message or offer would you like to share with the NZ Entrepreneur community?
ROMOLD plastic manhole chambers have the same logic for drain laying as a 6m length of PVC pipe. Both offer extremely durable service, and have obvious benefits for construction. We greatly enjoy introducing this technology into the market, and working with our customers to see them succeed.
As with any innovation, the benefit comes from the application. We look forward to seeing more success stories as new customers experience what the ROMOLD manhole chamber offers.
