| ALLIANCE - Anode Engineering & LineTech Alliance (AELT Alliance)
Australian and New Zealand energy assets are set to benefit from the formation of an alliance partnership between... LineTech Consulting (NZ) limited, a prominent engineering consultancy in the high voltage transmission and distribution industry, and Anode Engineering Australia... a company with in excess of 40 years of experience in corrosion management and the oil/gas pipeline industry.
Electrical Hazard Studies - Pipelines and Public Utilities Key background to the AELT Alliance is a synergy of corrosion management services, and a desire for both companies to expand their presence in the market place of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Rim. In addition both partners have senior representation and input into the revision of the AS 4853 standard for evaluation and assessment of electrical hazards for operation of underground and above ground pipelines.LineTech have extensive design experience in this area plus internationally recognized software to allow their engineering team to undertake detailed analysis and electrical studies. Anode Engineering's experience of pipeline corrosion management will contribute crucial data plus integration of the practical aspects of the required remediation for each project. Greater Strength in the Markets The AELT alliance will provide both organizations with greater capacity to service both Australia and New Zealand, supported by the extensive experience of their respective technical staff across various industries as well as strong established market positions.Wayne Burns, Managing Director of Anode Engineering has stated that "this alliance will bring together two groups of highly technical and experienced personnel. It will improve the engineering capacity of both companies to service the Australian, New Zealand and Pacific market and allow for significant growth opportunities." The Expanded Presence With Anode Engineering's established offices in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia, LineTech offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, and Christchurch, plus a combined wide customer base throughout Australia and The Pacific, the two partners are confident the AELT alliance will help position both companies to both improve and expand their services.LineTech Chief Executive Richard Gibbons says "We have for sometime been providing services into the Australian transmission line market, and the AELT alliance provides us with a greatly expanded local Australian presence" Anode Engineering has extensive experience in cathodic protection and corrosion management in the oil, water, gas and marine industries within the Australian and South Pacific Regions. With the support of LineTech, Anode Engineering will offer engineering services in design, supervision of installation contractors, commissioning and assessment of cathodic protection systems - existing and new installations throughout the Australasian market. "Our engineering team is very excited about the alliance with LineTech and looks forward to developing joint project opportunities" says Wayne. LineTech is a well respected engineering consultancy group that services the electricity transmission and distribution utility industry. Prime service focus is transmission and distribution lines, with the company already a preferred service provider to Transpower NZ Limited, via a TLM joint venture. LineTech also provides civil, structural, condition assessment, asset management, and project and management services, as well as corrosion minimization and coating management services. With over 35 staff and hundreds of years combined experience, LineTech is looking to effectively expand its existing client base in New Zealand and grow existing LineTech activities across Australia, and surrounding regions.
