Our History
Ewing Construction was established in 1991 by Managing Director Geoff Ewing and has grown to become a leading contractor in the construction of field erected storage tanks, vessels and piping systems.
This forms the core capabilities of the business today.
Ewing Construction has the capability to undertake this work in a range of carbon and stainless steels, and is experienced in the project management and construction management of projects of all sizes.
Over the years Ewing Construction has built an enviable track record for safety. This record has been maintained over the years by the use of highly trained and skilled staff using modern well maintained equipment whilst delivering projects on time and on budget.
Ewing Construction was built on oil and gas industry experience gained on North Sea Offshore Oil Rigs. This challenging and remote work environment developed the fundamentals of project construction work that forms the core business today.
As the company has grown the range of tank services has expanded to include tank dismantling, moving, modification and repair.
Our experienced staff provide the lead on projects regardless of whether they are in New Zealand, Australia, Pacific Islands or Papua New Guinea. Our teams are supported by highly skilled industry partners with an equally strong commitment to quality outcomes for the client.
Our focus on cross-skilling ensures we are able to resource projects efficiently and effectively from a core of permanent staff that is readily augmented by key business partners for larger projects.
Ewing Construction has staff from a diverse range of industries such as heavy engineering, shipbuilding, petrochemical processing and the power industry to name a few. This diverse background has brought many innovations to our projects supported by skills gained from extensive trade training and tertiary qualifications in a wide range of engineering and business disciplines.
Each customer has their own approach to achieving project outcomes, and we select our team members to achieve the best result for the client.
