About us

Twenty years in New Zealand's hazardous areas.

Hazardous Area Inspections is the dedicated hazardous-area compliance brand of NZ Electrical Solutions — one of the South Island's most established industrial electrical, automation and refrigeration contractors.

Backed by NZ Electrical Solutions

NZ Electrical Solutions has been serving New Zealand industry since 2001. We're an industrial contractor — not a domestic one — with more than 50 staff across electrical, automation, refrigeration and controls, working from four South Island branches and delivering nationwide.

Hazardous Area Inspections concentrates that experience on one thing: keeping explosive and toxic-atmosphere plant safe and compliant. Twenty years of working in ammonia engine rooms, fuel facilities and dust-laden processing plants sits behind every survey and inspection we sign off.
