Custom Solutions

We were intrigued when Hutec Engineering asked us to custom design catchment funnels and basins that could withstand exposure to sulphuric acid. Designs were developed and then it was a case of testing, refining and testing some more. Material was submerged and drip tested with acid for a month, with excellent results.

A great project, with plenty of challenges.

Smart construction businesses like Dominion Constructors 
are doing more than talking about waste reduction.

With multiple large projects on the go at any time, there is always a need to cover timber stacks.

We provided some design options and a few tweaks later we had custom-sized and branded covers ready to go.

If you’ve visited Mt Maunganui it’s likely you will have driven past the huge mountain of salt at the Dominion Salt site.

It’s a fascinating place and we’ve been lucky enough to work onsite fitting chutes, tank covers and the like. 

After a particularly nasty storm destroyed a tank cover, the TarpMakers crew were back on the job. All good – salt back on the menu.

When a client was looking to replace the roof over their large-scale storage shed they came up with an ingenious idea to save a lot of time, money and effort.

That’s where we came in. We created a waterproof cover for securing over a large custom-built frame, which could all be pulled apart and relocated as sections of the roof were removed and replaced. It worked beautifully.

Traffic Signs NZ is a major supplier of signs and safety equipment to the NZ roading industry. TarpMakers make all sorts of temporary traffic management and safety signage and covers for them.

Some people get frustrated at roadworks Stop/Go points. Not us – we’re too busy looking to see if they’re our speed sign covers, weight bags, road cone covers, or lots of other safety gear. 😊

Shed curtains have become a bit of a specialty for us. Our design and manufacture knowledge grows with each completed project.

We put that knowledge to good use when we made up replacement curtains for Hume Pine Rotorua‘s timber drying shed. From old to new (and improved) in two weeks … ready to protect Hume Pine’s timber for another ten years. Happy client. Happy us.
