First BeneVap Goes to New Zealand

We recently delivered a refurbished BV300 to a landfill near Auckland, New Zealand. The machine known as Christine was originally built in the USA and used on  oil and gas projects there. It was  shipped to Brisbane from the USA where BeneTerra staff upgraded it to meet Australia / New Zealand gas and electrical standards. The control program was also upgraded and metricised.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our crew was unable to travel to New Zealand. Commissioning has been a challenge without actually being on site. Through videos and extensive communications with their counterparts in New Zealand they succeeded. The SCADA system and a cellular modem allow them to communicate with the control panel and track performance along with the operators on site.
