MB Century has been involved in several notable projects, including the detailed steamfield design for the Te Mihi Geothermal Power Station near Taupō, which is part of a $750 million Wairakei-Tauhara development supplying steam to a 45 MW plant (combined with Wairakei for a total output of 114 MW, powering over 110,000 homes) (source: powerinfotoday.com). The company also constructed the world's first wet steam power station in Taupō, marking a significant milestone in its early history. Additionally, MB Century played a crucial role in New Zealand's first green hydrogen plant through a joint venture with Tūaropaki and Obayashi, overseeing initial equipment reviews, HAZOP studies, power design, compliance, procurement, and ongoing operations and maintenance (source: apacoutlookmag.com).
