TRACK & WHEELand support from CablePrice is really good, too.”The company also specialises in environmentally sensitiveprojects, having a subsidiary, Nikau Environmental Ltd, to dealwith sampling, testing, removal, clean-up and remediation ofasbestos and other hazardous materials. These specialist skillshave proved invaluable in Christchurch, where the companyhas been called upon to salvage materials and items of historicalimportance at several sites.Nikau places a very high degree of importance on safety,going to the extent of employing two members of staff as “safetychampions”, patrolling its numerous work sites that are mannedby 50 staff, nearly half of them recruited locally.So, with its host of safety and environmental features, theZX470LCH suits the ethos of Nikau down to the ground.There’s plenty of work in Christchurch for the Nikau team andthe many other companies helping the city with the clean-up.The numbers being reported change every day, but one recentcount had 650 buildings in the CBD demolished. By the time thejob’s done, it’s expected some 1500 buildings will have been fullyor partly demolished -- sorry, deconstructed.34 CablePrice
