A multi million upgrade to the Firstgas compressor station at Kaitoke is now substantially complete, on schedule and within budget. Two state-of-the-art compressors from the USA have been installed, commissioned, and are ready to be brought online in early 2026.
The four-year project has been a major success, said Simon Pease, Manager of Project Delivery and Asset Management for Firstgas.
“Not only was the upgrade on time and under budget, but the quality of the finished site is really good. I think it’s likely been the best major project we’ve ever run, and there’s a lot we’ll take from it and apply to our smaller, more frequent projects.”
