Van Walt’s groundwater monitoring equipment – now available in New Zealand!

November 20, 2012

We are delighted to announce that we have expanded and opened a new rental and sales operation in Wanaka, New Zealand to service the country and wider South Pacific area if there is the demand.  As a company offering groundwater monitoring, soil sampling, water quality meters, sediment samplers and water level loggers to rent or buy we have enjoyed business growth over the last few years through the success and resilience of our customers. New Zealand, with its continued commitment to improved environmental performance, an English speaking population, highly developed economy in terms of environmental, agricultural and viticultural research and, as we already had ties to the country through family, was the logical place to open another office to help with business development in the future.

We know the rest of the world holds New Zealand in high esteem for its environmental and green credentials and a country that puts so much emphasis on its ‘clean green reputation’ is a place where opportunities exist for a business like Van Walt.

Initially Van Walt New Zealand will be offering environmental equipment to rent.  YSI and Aquaread Water Quality Meters; Diver® Water Level Loggers from Schlumberger Water Services; Eijkelkamp Peristaltic Pumps and Geotech Bladder Pumps and Controllers are some of the items available from express rental periods up to ‘however long you need it’, with substantial discounts for items rented for longer periods.

We will also be offering some of our core soil, groundwater and sediment sampling equipment for purchase.

Running the new office is Dirk van Walt who made New Zealand his home seven years ago and brings a wealth of experience and craftsmanship to the role.  “Since the moment I arrived in this country I could tell there would be opportunities for anyone involved in the environmental and groundwater monitoring sector,” said Dirk. “Now after rigorous training; tried and tested systems employed in the UK for over 30 years in place here in Wanaka; a lot of hard work and a high level of customer service and onsite support for the local environmental and groundwater monitoring community, I believe Van Walt New Zealand will go from strength to strength.”
