The Future Ready Water Plant
We’re very proud to showcase our end-to-end solution for a local future-ready Water Treatment plant, developed in collaboration with our board-builder partner Industrial Switchboards Limited.
This complex project brought together world-class products from Siemens, Modutec, TDK and Teknomega with the 1600 Amp main switchboard, two motor control centres and two active harmonic filters constructed in ISL’s brand new factory and our TechLab Engineering Centre.
Introducing seamless digital integration delivers enhanced operational availability, reduced maintenance and optimised process control to the plant and truly showcases what a partnership based on a shared commitment to capability, efficiency, safety and cost-effectiveness can achieve.

Supporting future talent
We were very proud to not only support, but actively participate in the development of future industry talent at the Master Electricians New Zealand Apprentice Challenge 2025.
It’s very satisfying to see the future of our industry navigating the Siemens automation module where we collaborated on the structure, design and judging. Our Fluke test and measure station also ensures world-class products are available to all competitors.
Over 300 apprentices competed across 7 locations to earn the title of NZ’s Top Electrical Apprentice, with TeamCSL cheering them on at every event!
Congratulations to all the competitors!
Fluke Networks LinkIQ™ Duo Cable+Network+Wi-Fi Tester
The LinkIQ™ tester validates cable performance using frequency-based measurements and a wire map of the cable under test.
