At Pump & Valve Specialties Ltd, we pride ourselves on delivering turnkey wastewater solutions that meet the highest standards of compliance, durability, and integration. Our team successfully completed the Arvida Stage 2 Wastewater Pump Station on Ngarara Road, Waikanae — a project designed, built, and commissioned entirely in‑house.
Meeting Community and Compliance Needs
Working within a live retirement village development meant navigating strict Kapiti Coast District Council (KCDC) standards, tight compliance requirements, and the need for seamless integration with existing SCADA and telemetry networks. Our engineers rose to the challenge, designing and delivering a system built to a 100‑year design life, ensuring long‑term reliability for the community.
