Twin brothers uncanny record
• By Julia Evans
THEY MAY not be identical
but twins Nant and Nont
Prachuabmoh’s recordbreaking
triple jump distance
was.
The year 10 students wrote
themselves into the Christ’s
College record books during
the school’s athletics day – in
the most uncanny way.
At the end of a titanic battle,
the twins shared the contest
when they jumped exactly the
same distance on their third
and final jump,
They broke the existing
under-14 record by 42cm with
their 10.84m. It was a tit-for-tat
battle to the final jump.
Nant’s first jump broke the
school record of 10.42m set in
2004. Then Nont approached
the pit, and hopped, stepped
and jumped his way to break
the record his brother just set.

Bid to
save
bus
routes
heats up
• By Julia Evans
BUS USERS are rising up against
plans to cut services.
Nor’West News has received
a number of letters from
people angry at Environment
Canterbury’s move to cut two
routes in Papanui, which is part
a major shake-up of bus services
across Christchurch.
ECan wants to cut six routes,
including the 107 Styx Mill
to Northlands and the 108
Casebrook to Northlands, to
plug a $4 million shortfall in its
budget.
The public is being given the
opportunity to make submissions
to ECan about the cuts on its
website until March 26, before a
final decision is made.
Judy Broadbent wrote saying
she had moved from Redwood to
Casebrook in a bid to be closer to
a bus route as she cannot drive.
Fellow Casebrook resident
Karen Ravenwood said she has to
catch several buses to get to work,
including the 108. Without it, she
will be forced to take her car.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
from the editor’s desk
I’VE SEEN some intriguing sporting
records over the years, but the one we
have on page 1 would be among the most
remarkable.
Twin brothers going toe-to-toe, not in
the boxing ring, but in the triple jump.
Nant and Nont Prachuabmoh beat each other’s newly set record
at Christ’s College in two jumps before landing incredibly
at the same distance on their third.
The twins are competitive in many aspects and finishing
equal was not the ideal outcome for either. It will probably spur
them on to great things in life, though.
More activity this week over Environment Canterbury’s plan
to scrap bus routes (see page 1). The proof though will be in
how many people actually make submissions to ECan on the
issue. – Barry Clarke

Intersection review due in May
• By Julia Evans
THE OUTCOME of an
independent review of the
Glandovey and Idris Rds
intersection may be known in
May.
City council manager
planning and delivery transport
Lynette Ellis said a report on the
intersection will be sent back
to the Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board.
“The results and analysis
of the work undertaken will
be collated into a report to
the community board. This
is expected to be delivered in
May,” she said.
Ms Ellis said a detailed time
line for the work could not
be given as it was being done
independently not in house by
the city council.
Last week, Nor’West News
reported the city council
had appointed a consultant
to “provide an independent
review/opinion” of the
intersection.
It is part of an ongoing saga
between the city council,
community board, and the
Glandovey, Idris and Straven
Residents’ Association,
which has been trying to
improve pedestrian and
cyclist safety in the area.
The association also wants
restrictions on heavy trucks.
As well as a review, the city
council has commissioned
traffic modelling to forecast
the effect of any changes to the
intersection and restrictions
including some proposed for
heavy vehicles could have on
the wider network and a vehicle
count.
“The additional tube and
camera traffic counts has been
completed and we are awaiting
the information from the
contractor,” Ms Ellis said.
A camera has also been
installed above the intersection
to record traffic “turning
motion” after the residents
found heavy vehicles could
not navigate the intersection
without cutting into other
lanes.

spokesman James Wilding
said the city council had
undertaken some remedial
work by widening the cycleway,
realigning the angle and
moving two vehicle lanes by
about a metre and repainting
cycle lane symbols.
He said the group “thanked”
the city council for that work,
which it did “in advance” of
commissioning the current
report.

Bid to save bus routes
•From page 1
Willowbank Wildlife Reserve
in Northwood is also angry about
the cuts, saying it will be isolated
from public transport as the 107
bus is the only route that goes
past the park.
General manager Kirsty Willis
is pleading with ECan to reconsider.
A local resident as well, Ms
Willis said there is no bus for her
son to be able to
get to high school.
Northwood resident
Doug Soper
agreed. His son CUTS: Two Papanui bus services are among six from across
uses the bus to get the city that may be cut in Environment Canterbury’s draft Long
to Burnside High. Term Plan.
Mike
Davidson
He does not want
to see ECan cut the
“essential” service.
City councillors
Mike Davidson and Sara
Templeton have shared previous
Nor’West News articles about the
cuts on their Facebook pages.
Both Cr Davidson and Cr Templeton
have called on residents
from around the city to submit
to ECan and oppose cutting the
routes, saying bus services are a
vital community service.
“In my ward I have a lot of
elderly people ringing me up
saying they’re struggling to use
the bus system as it is, that’s
only going to get worse,”
Cr Davidson said. He said all
six routes serviced otherwise
“isolated” areas, such as Northwood
and Casebrook, as well as
Prestons and New Brighton.
The Papanui-Innes Community
Board is looking to comment
FAST FACTS
•About 13.4 million individual
trip journeys are taken per
year on buses through
greater Christchurch.
•The Orbiter, which goes
past Northlands Shopping
Centre, accounts for 17.11
per cent of bus travel with
as part of the city council’s submission
on the ECan draft Long
Term Plan regarding its concern
over the cuts. ECan’s senior
manager public transport Stewart
Gibbon said at this stage there are
no alternative services proposed.
2.3 million trips a year.
•In the 2016/17 financial
year, 63,316 trips were taken
on route 107 and 47,348 trips
on route 108.
•The average number of
people on each route 107
trip was less than four, and
on route 108 less than three.
Nor’West News readers
respond to bus services
which could be cut
in Papanui as part of
Environment Canterbury’s
draft Long Term Plan
Willowbank Wildlife
Reserve general manager
Kirsty Willis – I would like
to voice Willowbank’s concern
over the possible loss of bus
107 from service. This bus is
used by our customers, staff
and volunteers.
It is the only
cost-effective
means of getting
to Willowbank via
public transport.
It costs in excess
of $40 to taxi
from town, which
is an incredibly
embarrassing
reflection on
Christchurch for our tourists.
On a personal note, my son
now uses the 107 to get home
from high school. Other than by
car, there are very few options
that I consider safe if there is no
107.
A bus that dropped him
in Bishopdale, would mean
walking along Gardiners Rd,
where there is no footpath.
Gardiners Rd is no better for
bikes, and I have watched many
terrifying moments involving
bikes and cars travelling at
speed on that road.
I hope that you [Environment
Canterbury] receive enough
feedback to reconsider.
David Robinson – I
agree with the comments in
the article: “The routes are
an ‘essential social service’
for people who have no other
means of travel that should
not have to rely on ‘fare box
recovery’ to survive.”
Central government (New
Zealand Transport
Agency) should
fully fund a full
coverage (max
800m walk to any
urban destination),
24-hour bus
network with
maximum 30min
head ways.
It doesn’t have
to be a fully fixed
route network. On-demand
transit can be used where the
fixed routes would be very
inefficient and connect to/from
the fixed route network.
This would be especially
needed at night where the fixed
network would be small.
This is “true public transport”
provision.
The overarching need to
provide a social transport
network in urban areas gets
lost in the fare box funding
debate.
Using a mixture of oil, watercolour, drypoint
and monotype, Philip’s work is as varied as the
landscapes he depicts.
Christchurch based Philip Beadle, whether

inspiration from the low sun on water agitated

inform his work.
Warm and inviting, cold and forgiving, water
and light are constant but also forever changing.
‘Water and Light’, it’s all around us and nowhere
more so than on the Banks Peninsula.
As small outcrop of volcanic rock jutting out into
the Southern Ocean we are surrounded on all

between water and
light more evident.

Local government would then
fund all bus services and level of
service improvements over and
above the “true public transport
network”, including reductions
in head ways (20, 15, 10, 5min)
and provision of express/limited
stops hub to hub services.
Jacque Skinner – I’m
literally a 10min drive from the
city but would need to catch two
buses to get there, how is that a
great bus service? Who wants
to have to change, and wait for
another bus with kids, 2min
after getting on one??
Plus they are removing
services that go through an area
with lots of elderly who will need
a bus service - there’s a brand
new retirement village just about
open on Cavendish Rd and
there’s going to be no bus?
Elizabeth Phua – Keep bus
108 is I think the better option.
But losing 107 means no bus
going to Willowbank, so the
tourists miss out. No win.
Cara Negus – Not only
is Environment Canterbury
proposing to cut six bus routes,
several of which are used by a
lot of older persons who can no
longer drive, the same proposal
also includes a cut to the
mobility taxi subsidies by $5 per
trip.
So not only will many people
lose their bus, their alternative
taxi ride could well get more
expensive. The 107 and 108 could
easily be combined.
Judy Broadbent – Just
writing to say I am most upset
at the prospect of losing services
on bus route numbers 107 and
108. This is my only means of
transport!
I have a medical condition
which prevents me from driving
a vehicle so I rely heavily on the
buses.
About two years ago we sold
our house in Redwood because
it was too far away from any
bus route, and purchased one in
Casebrook to solve my problem.
However, now it would appear
that there will be no buses in our
area if the planned cuts go ahead.
I am sure there are lots of
other residents who would suffer
should the services be cut.
Environment Canterbury
– Referring to more than 110,000
individual patrons being affected
is incorrect. The numbers we
provided are for passenger trips,
not individual users.
In the 2016-17 financial year,
63,316 trips were taken on route
107, and 47,348 trips on route
108.
The average number of people
on each route 107 trip was less
than four, and on route 108 less
than three.
Twin brothers uncanny record
•From page 1
Nant then stepped up again.
He took first place back with
another record-breaking leap, but
that was only for a few moments.
Not to be outdone, Nont out did
his brother on his second attempt
and it was all on for the third and
final attempts.
The boys stepped up for the
final jump each. A jump that
would see one of them labelled
school champion.
Teacher Matt Thatcher was
measuring the jumps. He said he
began to laugh when he saw the
numbers for the third jump. They
were identical – 10.84m.
“Everyone clicked and was
blown away. Some couldn’t believe
it,” he said.
But Mr Thatcher said the
two boys were not pleased with
the outcome. “Nant and Nont
did not seem too happy to be
tied.”
Nont said he and his brother
are particularly competitive,
especially during school athletics.
The triple jump wasn’t the only
record broken, three others fell,
including one by year 10 student
Sam Idiens who broke his own
record for the under-14 3000m.
Last year Sam ran a time of
10min 1.53sec, and this year
he managed to shave almost
1min off that, clocking in at
RACE: Sam Idiens broke his own school record in the under-14
3000m.
9min 59.80sec.
Year 12 student Oliver
Beresford recorded the school’s
best hammer throw distance of
39.92m, beating the old 37.39m
distance, held by former UC
Championship and first XV
star Isaiah Punivai.
And in the senior pole vault,
year 12 student Edward Hsing
jumped 3.65m, breaking Samuel
Bennetts’ 3.61m record.

Tracking cats to protect widlife
• By Bridget Rutherford
A CANTERBURY University
student wants to track where
house cats venture to in a bid to
better protect Travis Wetland
Nature Heritage Park – and she
needs your feline’s help.
Olivia Silvester, a masters
student who lives near the
wetland, is doing a six-month
study on the adventures of
cats living within a one block
radius of the important native
habitat.
The study would involve
attaching GPS trackers to cats
residing in the area with harnesses,
so where they venture to
could be tracked.
The Burwood freshwater wetland
has 55 species living there,
including 35 natives.
The native short-fined eel,
an indigenous skink and about
half of Christchurch’s pukeko
population live there, as well as
a diverse variety of insects, birds
and invertebrates.
It has a moat to stop cats and
other pests from entering, but
some still find their way in.
Miss Silvester said she needed
about 30 cats to take part in
the GPS research, and wanted
owners to get in touch if they
were interested in their cat being
involved.

The GPS trackers would need
to be worn 24/7, she said.
“If the cat is uncomfortable
the harness can be taken off and
the study stopped for that cat.”
The study would look at
where the cats go, how far they
travelled and what they brought
home with them, she said.
“The wetlands have a large
biodiversity of wildlife from
insects to skinks and birds,” she
said.
“Alongside the harness study,
there will be a prey retrieval
study looking at what your cat
brings home. It will inform us of
the main prey items of local cats
and we can adjust conservation
efforts accordingly.”
STUDY: A new
initiative will put GPS
trackers on cats
living near the Travis
Wetland Nature
Heritage Park in a
bid to better protect
wildlife there, such as
the spotless crake.
About 100 cats were
needed for the prey retrieval
study.
The owner would be required
to note down the items their cats
brought home, and store them in
provided zip-lock bags.
Miss Silvester said she would
visit once a month, or more, to
take the items away.
She said the study would also
measure how effective the existing
natural barriers were.
Miss Silvester said she would
be leaving information in
letterboxes in the area this
month to see whether anyone
would be interested in having
their cat involved in the study.

managed to do what the world’s
best rowers could not.
He beat Eric Murray.
Although it wasn’t on the
water, year 12 student Tom
Woelders took on the double
Olympic gold medallist and
four-time world champion
in a head-to-head erg race on
Thursday night.
Before the short and fast
500m race on their rowing
machines, Tom and Murray had
a quick warm up.
The race was over in just over
1min.
But when he looked down to
see his time, Tom said he was
surprised he’d rowed more
than three seconds faster that
Murray.
He clocked 1min 19.8sec,
while Murray lost by more
than three seconds with 1min
23.2sec.
CBHS rowing coach Ricardo
De Souza said Tom was selected
because he had the best erg time
in the school.
Mr De Souza said after
beating Murray it’s clear Tom
has a bright rowing future
ahead of him.
His good form is just in time
for the Maadi Cup, which
begins on March 19 at Lake
Ruataniwha, Twizel.
Mr De Souza said he never
doubted Tom could win.
“I always had my money on
Tom. Eric’s been out of rowing
for a while now. Where Tom’s
just finishing up the end of
his season. He’s been on the
water non-stop for the last six
months,” he said.
Tom he said he wasn’t too
phased by the calibre of his
competitor. But it was a “great”
experience going up against the
Olympian.
“It was a really good time. He
gave me a few pointers before
the race,” Tom said.
Although he wasn’t certain
he could beat him, it was a great
feeling looking down at the erg
and seeing his time was more
than three seconds faster than
Murray’s.
But beating Murray hasn’t

gone to Tom’s head.
His mind is firmly on the
next big competition, which
will be the last chance he has to
take out the Maadi Cup with
CBHS before he finishes
school.
“We’re just getting ready for
Maadi now,” he said.
After the race, Murray helped
the school name the two new
Laszlo boats in its fleet, which
the rowers will be taking to
Twizel.

Road works
will add more
vehicles to
Main North Rd
AT LEAST 400 extra cars an hour
will be using Main North Rd
during peak times until mid-May.
It comes as the intersection of
Grimseys Rd and QE II Drive has
been closed to allow for construction
of two additional lanes on QE
II Drive as part of the Northern
Corridor work.
Traffic from Grimseys Rd is being
detoured down to Daniels Rd
and then onto Main North Rd.
New Zealand Transport Agency
delivery manager Colin MacKay
said it is a “noticeable amount” of
extra traffic.
“(The detour) will work well
when drivers are patient and give
themselves a few extra minutes
travel time.”
In May the intersection will be
temporarily open to one lane of
traffic. But from early September to
mid-October, the intersection will
be closed again as the new intersection
is constructed.
The new layout of the Grimseys
Rd intersection will mean that access
will be left in and out only.
Work is taking place between
Monday and Saturday, 7am to 7pm

Centuries old folk
remedy supports
good health!
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of
powerful health benefits. It is none other than the
popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.
Since the time of Hippocrates – the
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been
renowned for its curative properties.
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis
reports how he found that Vermonters
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey
had excellent health with many putting in
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties. He also noted
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be
remarkable with many patients reporting
almost total relief after taking a course
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use. He also noted
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and
H around meal time had excellent blood
pressure and circulation. The reason he
found was that protein foods thickened
the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the
blood thickens it cannot pass as easily
and quickly through the blood vessels and
capillaries. This poor blood flow
would reduce cellular health by
limiting nutrients to the cells as
well as waste elimination from the
cells. To prevent cell damage the
body naturally increases blood
pressure but this puts more stress
on the blood vessels, organs and
heart. Having ACV and H with
meals will help prevent protein
raising the blood pressure. It also
contributes to a feeling of greater
well-being because the thinner
blood circulates quickly and
more easily through the blood
vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular
consumption of CV and H to be
an excellent health tonic with
numerous Health attributes.
ACV SUPPORTS
• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes
• Energy – Vitality – Endurance
• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites
• Powerful antioxidant
• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure
• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity
• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health
• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux
• Weight Loss
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all
the goodness of the apple in a form that is
readily accepted by the bodyGood health
starts with good digestion and assimilation
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will
stimulate and promote healthy digestion
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good
health. A well-functioning digestive system
helps prevent disease by neutralising any
toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all ACV is
produced in the traditional way and results
are likely to prove disappointing with these
other vinegars.
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in
the traditional way. It is double strength so
you can use less.

What’s happening
at Lady Wigram
Retirement Village?
It’s been a busy few years for The
Golden Healthcare Group with their latest
development of Lady Wigram Retirement
Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas
were occupied in August 2015 and now 101
villas are completed.
In December, the club house opened
which provides a bowling green, hair
dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard
room, movie theatre and library. The Club
House has all the trimmings, including 16
one and two bedrooms Apartments. The
next stage will also include a swimming
pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments.
When speaking with one of their
residents about how he feels about the new
Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is
so excited about it opening, we have all
been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is
fascinated as to how the fountain works.
He has lived in the village for the past
few years, enjoying his new life style and
making friends. He has also picked up new
hobbies including learning to play mahjong,
“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr
Havill owned his own home for 44 years
and in that time he maintained the house,
painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t
have to do that anymore, this is my place for
the moment. Every villa is different, even
though they look the same. But you make it
your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this
age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in
but no one else can and that is an additional
sense of security for us”.
Owner John Tooby says “our residents
are very involved in the continuing
development of the village, they share our
pride in making this a great place to live. It’s
a real community and it continues to grow”.
How’s your LIVER doing?
Your liver affects how you feel, your
mood, hormones, energy and overall
health. In fact it carries out over 500 crucial
functions that are vital to maintain good
health. If your liver is under-performing as
is the case for most of us, it means that the
body has more toxins that could be setting
the stage for disease. Disease can normally
only survive if the environment is suitable.
A well performing body will generally have
a much better chance of staying healthy.
Some symptoms of an underperforming
liver can be: Fatigue, weakness, trouble
concentrating, confusion, dark urine, dark
circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration
of the whites of the eyes, bloating and gas,
dry and dark patches on the neck and
under arms, bruising easily, constipation,
skin spots and rashes, eczema, psoriasis,
hormonal problems, moody and many
more.
The liver is the only organ in the body that
can regenerate itself if the right conditions
are met. In most cases the liver function can
be improved relatively easily with diet and
lifestyle changes and nutritional support.
Natural herbal extracts like milk thistle,
dandelion, globe artichoke, burdock, grape
seed and turmeric have been shown to be
very effective at supporting detoxification,
digestion and liver function. These herbs
are food for the liver and body. They
provide the building blocks to allow the
liver to regenerate healthy cells. All these
ingredients are available in a high potency
one-a-day vegie capsule.
Fresh vegetable juices are an excellent way
to provide the body with easily absorbed
nutrients. They also help the liver detox the
body and support its regeneration.
Certain strains of probiotics have been
shown to support healthy digestion, liver
function and much more. A one-a-day
comprehensive high potency probiotic
is highly recommended to support good
health.
Apple cider vinegar as well as being highly
nutritious contains beneficial enzymes that
support healthy digestion, liver function
and absorption of nutrients.
As your liver function improves you will
notice increased energy, clearer skin, less
hormonal problems, better digestion, and
a positive mood and sharper mind just to
name a few.
Further detailed information on
how to support your liver and general
health is available from the Natural
Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health &
Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, phone 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!

Highly effective
treatment brings
NOR’WEST NEWS
Special offer - one treatment for
arthritis at half price for the first 10 people
who make an appointment before april 6.
‘amazing’ results
for arthritis patient
Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort
and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life.
However, thanks to a highly effective treatment
offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao,
they can get fast, and very often immediate relief.
Lan developed the treatment, known as
‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes
as being similar to reflexology in that the problem
area on the body is determined through pressure,
but is much more accurate.
One client who was thrilled with the results of
this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was
having problems with her right hand after she overused
it following an injury to her left hand and it
became arthritic.
“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and
it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it.
This also made it very difficult to do everyday things
like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,”
Corinna said.
After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend,
Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled
with the results.
“The difference after one treatment was amazing.
My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.”
A further six treatments followed, and Corinna
said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was
improving every day and things were back to
normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was
due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t
think she would need any further treatment.
“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing –
and there were no needles involved!”
Lan uses acupuncture without needles to treat a
wide range of injuries and medical conditions and is
now ACC registered.
Dr Lan is offering one treatment for arthritis
at half price for the first 10 people who make an
appointment before April 6. Her clinic is located
at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to
5pm.
To discuss your health issues or make an
appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

Temporary premises
for Smooth-Air
Throughout 2018, it’s business as usual
for ventilation equipment specialists,
Smooth-Air, as they operate from
temporary premises at 351c Blenheim
Road while their Annex Rd premises are
being rebuilt.
Due to re-open in early 2019, the
new building will be better suited to the
company’s needs and more efficient than
the previous one, marketing spokesperson
Kate Rattray says.
“In the meantime, we will be continually
moving onwards and upwards with
an increased product range to service
our commercial, trade and domestic
customers.
“We are also pleased to have on board
our new national sales manager Phil
Henderson, and new regional manager
Richard Jack. Their focus will be on
continuing to provide customers with
excellent service and advice,” Kate says.
Experts in providing quality of air for
domestic and commercial purposes,
Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all
types of ventilation systems including
ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in
fact, anything that moves air into, out of,
or around a building.
While the majority of customers are
trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to
the public, with a range of extraction
and ventilation systems, as well as other
ventilation components for domestic use.
For the domestic market, the focus is on
cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air
has several ventilation systems designed
for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390
is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic
and commercial premises, exchanging
fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat
(or cooling) from the expelled air.
Their HTU heat transfer unit is another
popular option, transferring heat from
log burners to other areas of the home,
improving energy efficiency and reducing
power consumption.
Smooth-Air also caters for large
commercial projects, with the capacity to
produce substantial quantities of TD panel
duct, as well as provide other specified
equipment, including AirChange heat
exchangers such as those used for the Jellie
Park Pool.
Their skilled workshop team builds
ducting components, and these can be
supplied from stock, or made to customer
specifications. With the purchase of a
new building in Christchurch, which is
dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth-
Air have recently more than doubled
their manufacturing capacity. Along
with their Auckland
and Wellington
workshops, Smooth-
Air’s workshop floor
space now totals nearly
3000sqm, and of the 80
staff nationwide, 30 are
dedicated workshop
staff members.
Engineering manager
Mike Nash oversees all
three workshops.
“As suppliers to
customers in all areas of
New Zealand, we pride
ourselves in doing the
job right first time.” Mike says.
“With manufacturing capability in
Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington
we are able to share workload across
locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse,
providing a flexibility to our
customers and reliability of supply by
cross-utilisation of resources.
“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide
a one-stop solution to all our customers
in the HVAC industry. As well as our
manufacturing prowess, we also have the
ability to source items from a wide range of
suppliers both locally and internationally.”
A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s
head office is Christchurch, with branches
located in Auckland and Wellington.
Their temporary Christchurch premises
are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just
round the corner from their original
Annex Rd site.
