Termed the ‘one stop shop’ commercial property maintenance company, APS cover projects such as internal and external commercial property refurbishment

Kowhai Intermediate School

With a three-month programme, APS was tasked to design and install a PVC Sports Canopy over the netball / basketball court at Kowhai
Intermediate. Included in the design was extensive foundation works, which due to volcanic rock required both structural and Geotech engineering, and reinforced foundation pads / extensive foundational work. The steelwork was fabricated in-house, and the sail track was custom designed and manufactured by the APS engineering team. This included testing for optimal performance and strength on completion of the PVC membrane installation. Additional features to the canopy included rainwater downpipes, full LED lighting, a PA system, Astro turf, and specified Airtime Hoops.

Kaipara College

Courtyard Canopy

As part of the schools special projects fund, Kaipara College worked with Rubix and APS to install two courtyard canopies both constructed between classroom throughways in order to provide the students with two sheltered common areas.

The installation of both canopies was completed over a 8-week programme, to the satisfaction of both the school and the project manager.

Rangeview Intermediate

Sports Canopy

Working with Watershed Group as part of Rangeview Intermediates SIP fund. APS installed a large sports canopy with PVC Membrane and new Tigerturf over an 10-week programme.

Bayswater Primary

Membrane Canopy

Erected over the existing class front decking and planting, spanning 59 lineal meters long, the premium Sundream Membrane, supported by a powder coated aluminum frame canopy installation was produced by APS over a three-week programme.

Mangere Bridge School

Hard-shell Canopy

After a successful tender process during Nov 2021, APS was awarded the contract to install a school shade structure for Mangere Bridge School, as part of the ministries’ School Investment Package scheme.

Working with project management firm BPMS, APS Complete Property Services was tasked to install the 436m² large canopy over the Christmas school holiday period spanning an 8-week programme.

While the project was straight forward, standard piles were supplemented with pad footings to accommodate the volcanic ground typical to the Mangere Bridge area, as well as address in-ground services.

APS Mountain Bike Wash Station for Ride Coromandel

Ride Coromandel engaged with APS to help design and build a purpose-built Kauri Dieback wash station for bikes.

The brief was to reduce any transfer of microscopic fungus-like pathogen called Phytophthora agathidicida that kills most (if not all) Kauri it infects from cyclists entering the bike park.

A collaboration between the Department of Conservation, APS and Ride Coromandel Bike Park produced the first specific Kauri dieback wash station to ensure riders have a fun and easy experience when cleaning bike wheels and sterilising tyres. This reduces any transfer of pathogens at the entry to the trail, before entering the trail and protecting the Kauri, and it increases the efficacy of the wash station usage.

APS designed and manufactured the wash station and has set the precedent for the future protection of terrestrial biodiversity in New Zealand.

“We were particularly pleased with the innovation and flexibility to achieve the desired outcome shown by APS within a short timeline.

Excellent service, easy to deal with, reliable and professional.”

Specialist Projects

Car Stacker

Installed a crawler beam of 13 meters and alongside of it a raptor rail of 10 meters.

After the installation of the crawler beam and raptor rail, a 2 Ton chain block was then installed with trolley that can run North/South and then additional 2 crawler beams on top where 2 x Trolleys and 2 x 1 Ton chain blocks that runs East/West. The purpose for the crawler beam was just to lift the motors off raptor rail for maintenance purposes on the car stacker, where one of the car stackers was not working and they had to replace both motors and gearboxes.
