Plant Audit Scheme Gold Awards Celebrate 10+ Years of Excellence
Friday, 15 November 2024
Congratulations to Allied Concrete’s Alexandra, Nelson, Wanaka, Washdyke (Timaru) and Penrose plants for either maintaining or securing Gold status in the 2024 Concrete NZ Plant Audit Scheme Excellence Awards.
 Allied Concrete's Ray Bonser and James Mackechnie take home Gold at the 2024 Concrete NZ Plant Audit Scheme Awards.
Firth Industries' Aotea Quay plant and Terry’s Concrete Te Horo plant also reached the top-step of the podium, accompanied by Atlas Concrete’s Takapuna and Wiri plants.
Holcim NZ's Horotiu, Tauranga, Whakatane, Setters Line (Palmerston North) and Bombay plants also celebrated Gold.
The Scheme, which provides an independent audit of around 200 ready mixed concrete plants, now operates a Gold, Silver and Bronze acknowledgement system as a simpler, more transparent way to reward excellence.
To receive an annual Excellence certificate a plant must not have received any corrective actions nor have its testing requirements questioned under the Scheme.
Plants that have demonstrated 3+ years of continuous Excellence are recognised as Bronze, those with 5+ years as Silver, and those with 10+ years as Gold.
 Shane Coutts and Sabina Sekerovic of Atlas Concrete receive their Gold Awards from Concrete NZ Honorary Life Member Rob Green.

Concrete NZ Chief Executive Rob Gaimster commends the recipients of the 2024 Gold, Silver, and Bronze status for their unwavering commitment to producing quality-assured ready-mixed concrete.
“The Plant Audit Scheme remains the benchmark for New Zealand’s construction sector, enabling producers to demonstrate compliance with the rigorous requirements of NZS 3104: Specification for Concrete Production,” says Rob.
“Achieving excellence consistently over 10 or more consecutive years is an outstanding accomplishment for all fifteen plants recognized this year.
“It’s particularly exciting to see Allied Concrete expand the number of plants attaining Gold status. Congratulations as well to Atlas Concrete, Firth Industries, and Terry’s Concrete for maintaining their Gold status, and a warm welcome to Holcim NZ
for joining this distinguished group.
“I’m optimistic that many of the Silver status plants will continue their journey of excellence and reach Gold status in 2025.”
