We have been engaged to deliver an upgrade of the bore water supply pipeline infrastructure along Campbell Road, a project that required both technical expertise and careful planning. Our team brought in specialized skills in the jointing of large-diameter PE pipes as well as stainless-steel pipelines, ensuring all works were carried out in full compliance with recognised industry standards and best practices. The result is a significantly improved and more resilient water supply, providing the rural community with enhanced security and greater distribution capacity from the bore source through to the wider network.

Installation of new wastewater pump station storage chambers along Fagan Road, utilizing our excavation and construction expertise to install precastconcrete chambers providing essential storage capacity. Our crews trenched and installed inlet and outlet pipework, integrated the chambers with the existing pump station infrastructure, and ensured all connections were watertight and compliant. The additional storage manages peak wastewater flows, reduces pump cycling frequency, and improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the wastewater collection system while reducing wear on pumping equipment and power consumption.

This industry-recognised project involved the full replacement of aging watermain infrastructure along Amberley Avenue on behalf of Palmerston North City Council. Drawing on the expertise of our skilled pipe-laying crews, we systematically removed the existing assets and installed new water mains, following the original alignment to minimise disruption while ensuring reliable long-term performance. Working within a complex shared trench profile containing numerous existing utilities, we successfully overcame these challenges by installing new valves and hydrants and undertaking rigorous pressure testing to confirm the integrity of the upgraded network. The project delivered a significant improvement in water supply reliability, pressure, and quality for the local community. Equally important, our innovative construction methodologies, strong focus on community engagement, and commitment to minimising disruption enabled us to complete the works efficiently and to a high standard—key factors that contributed to the project’s recognition within the industry.

We successfully delivered comprehensive civil works as part of Powerco’s Pukepapa substation upgrade, collaborating closely with the main contractor to support the safe and efficient delivery of this critical infrastructure project. Our scope included the installation of underground ducting networks designed to provide long-term protection and accessibility for electrical cabling, ensuring resilience and ease of future maintenance. Drawing on our drainage expertise, we also designed and installed robust stormwater management systems across the site, incorporating catch pits, piped networks, and surface water controls to effectively manage runoff and prevent flooding risks. The complexity of the project required precise planning and close coordination with Powerco’s electrical contractors, particularly in managing works around live electrical assets. Stringent safety protocols were applied to protect existing infrastructure and maintain continuous substation operations throughout construction. By combining careful execution with technical capability, the upgrade was completed, enhancing the substation’s capacity to meet the growing electricity demand in the region while ensuring long-term reliability and performance
