A Secure, High-Performance Testing Environment
SHPG spans 490 hectares of privately owned land in the South Island of New Zealand, delivering a controlled, high-standard winter testing environment. Confidentiality is paramount —access is strictly managed via swipe cards and ID systems, with 24/7 surveillance and a fully enclosed perimeter. On-site security ensures only authorised personnel can enter, with all recording devices strictly prohibited, and all staff required to sign non-disclosure agreements.
Test facilities include exclusive-use and shared-access tracks, built to meet stringent industry standards. Dedicated workshops and offices provide secure, private bases for each testing program, while real-time vehicle monitoring enhances both safety and incident response. Engineers can also access off-road and high-mu asphalt circuits, extending validation beyond winter surfaces.
SHPG is designed for efficiency. From site inductions to on-site medical support and full project assistance—including logistics, accommodation, and visa services—SHPG ensures seamless operations so your team can focus entirely on testing.
Safe, Secure and Confidential
Each company testing at SHPG is provided with a dedicated, access-controlled workshop and office, serving as a private and secure operational base.
These facilities ensure confidentiality and support efficient test program management. Test tracks are available on either an exclusive-use or shared-use basis. Exclusive-use bookings grant sole access to designated tracks for the duration of the reservation, while shared-use options allow access to common tracks alongside other users.
This flexible track allocation supports a wide range of testing requirements while maintaining operational integrity and security.
