Words from our Clients

“Our company is a major insurer of tunnel projects around the world and we have used Novoconsult over the last few years to assist us in our risk reviews, and to undertake surveys for us. We have always found Bill to be the consummate professional in all the work he has performed for us, through either our Australian, Asian or London operations.”

Steve Bates, Liberty Specialty Markets

“We’d like to acknowledge the professional support and technical expertise provided by Novoconsult to Manawa Energy on the McKays Creek tunnel repair. Your attention to detail, technical expertise, and ability to pro-actively identify risks was essential to the completion of this challenging project.”

Robert Shelton, Manawa Energy

“Thank you very much for the support the Ministry received from Bill Newns, Stephen Thomas and the KiwiRail Maori network, and the outstanding support we received throughout the week. Any positive feedback should be attributed to the professionalism and commitment of Bill to the purpose of the Hui. Bill’s presentations at the Hui and Reference Group meeting were first class. A credit to KiwiRail.”

Erin Wynn, Te Manatū Waka/Ministry of Transport

“I’ve worked with Bill since 2019 on major technical insurance claims, which are complex problems. Our role is to distil the complex and make it simple, which Bill understands. I find his expertise in tunnelling and his breadth of knowledge of the contracting, construction and infrastructure industries invaluable in cutting to the crux of matters, and informing me on matters both technical and practical.”

Thomas Pasley, Integra Technical Services
