Our Contracting team have been hard at work for months on the Olveston Historic Home for the Dunedin City Council and it is looking amazing! Great work team!

Brighter days ahead! 💡 The lights are back on at Olveston Historic Home – almost.
Work upgrading the electric system at Olveston is nearly complete - and it is ready to open to the public again this Thursday, 1 October.

Olveston Historic Home has been closed for the past few months while we were busy upgrading the main switchboard and submain cables, subcircuit cables, and undertaking general repair and maintenance of some of its older and outdated components.

The aim was to give Olveston some much needed improvements but not make it noticeable to the public, and to ensure everything is safe and operational for the current age without compromising the unique heritage value of the building. Some work is still ongoing, but it can still open while this is completed. ⚡️

Casey Henry featured in the Otago Daily Times yesterday through EarnLearn ; his journey from a 15-year career as a chef to an electrical apprenticeship in our Industrial department.
