DESIGN AND BUILD
The McRaes Global design and build capability has the ability to engineer solutions to any problem, within any industry. With state of the art design software and qualified knowledge, McRaes Global believes it is important to combine the theoretical design skill with the practical engineering workshops to ensure that the design solution is fit for purpose.
McRaes Global have strong project management expertise and over the last 12 months, our design and build capability has seen us involved in projects including an automated house lifter for the Christchurch market, an underwater chain tensioning system for the Subsea industry and a Robotic Car stacker for a Multi levelled car park in Auckland City.
Are you struggling to get from A to B? Do you need a design and build solution?
Integrated with our experienced hydraulic and controls capabilities, McRaes Global’s think tank approach sees the Technical Solutions team take on motion and control projects that cover a wide scope of engineering disciplines.
