Penstocks

Traditionally, cast iron penstocks have been supplied to meet the needs of the world's water industries, offering robust construction and unprecedented service life.

Modern trends are moving towards the versatility of fabricated penstocks. Since almost all penstocks are unique fabricated penstocks can be individually designed to suit each specific application.

Penstocks New Zealand utilises finite element analysis to ensure that the most cost effective design and material selection is offered, consistent with safe working loads, performance, configuration and lowest delivered price.
