Waikato Regional Council

Electrical and Telemetry Programme

WRC is seeking suitably qualified and experienced supplier(s) to provide the design, supply, installation,
programming, integration, testing, commissioning, and support of electrical, control, telemetry, and
automation infrastructure for flood protection pump stations across the Lower Waikato and Waihou-Piako
Schemes. The procurement will establish a long-term supplier arrangement to support the delivery of a
multi-year programme of electrical renewals and associated telemetry upgrades across Council-owned pump
station infrastructure.
The programme is intended to improve the reliability, safety, operational efficiency, maintainability, and
standardisation of pump station assets, while enhancing remote monitoring, alarming, and operational
control capabilities. Operational drivers include ageing switchboards, reliability issues, limited fault visibility,
difficult site access, health and safety risks, and the need for improved telemetry and automation across the
pump station network.
The procurement will comprise two separate programme packages:
• Package 1: Lower Waikato Electrical and Telemetry Programme
• Package 2: Waihou-Piako Electrical and Telemetry Programme
