Going above and beyond is what FPS is all about.

A team of five staff travelled to Greymouth, working long days and often into the night to complete the week-long job. Chris Gray, FPS sales manager, says the project involved a total “gut out” of the Talley’s Fish Factory, with all the old conveyers, machines and factory equipment being removed before FPS could start work.

“It was a very sizeable project. With the factory shut while the work was carried out, we all worked big hours to get the job done within a tight timeframe. There was a lot of planning involved – we worked closely with other contractors and our Greymouth distributor to make sure the work was completed as quickly as possible so the factory could re-open.”

A Christchurch company supplied the new fish factory equipment while the hydraulics were provided by FPS. The team modified the hydraulic ring main in the roof, refurbished the existing power-pack and fitted a new hydraulic pump, cooler and filtration system. FPS also plumbed all the hydraulic drive motors on the new equipment.
