Our projects, many of which have to stay confidential, span the largest in New Zealand to international scale projects in Australia, Asia, Europe and the US. We like to travel light, and we’ll take you with us. You’ll be glad you did. Here are some of our recent local projects.
CLIENT: KIWIRAIL
The Northland Rail Upgrade
In 2022, we provided design and engineering services to Kiwirail to deliver this set of project upgrades to 13 tunnels on the Northland Line.

The original railway was built between the late 1880’s and the mid 1920’s.
To accommodate modern containers we lowered and strengthened the tunnels that spanned the transition between brick-lining and concrete lining.
We’re proud to have contributed to the rejuvenation of the Northland Railway.
CLIENT: HDI
The City Rail Link, Auckland
In 2020, we assisted HDI the lead insurer by providing Risk Engineering services for this iconic city-shaping project.

This included a flood preparedness plan on behalf of the insurers (which greatly reduced impacts despite the unprecedented intensity of Auckland’s rainfall in January 2023), the use of electric MSV’s, and managing the progression of the TBM through ground anchors of adjacent basements.
The CRL project has won multiple awards, including the Arthur Mead Award, Decarbonisation award, highly commended award for Excellence in Social Outcomes, and the highest rating for Infrastructure Sustainability design. A great project to be part of.
CLIENT: MANAWA ENERGY
McKays Creek Tunnel Recovery, Hokitika
We assisted Manawa Energy in a frontline safety role and providing services for the modification of the support system to recover the collapsed McKays Creek Tunnel in 2023.

Originally driven in the 1880’s, this was a headrace tunnel that supplied water to power the gold dredges operating near Hokitika, and was supported with timber in glacial gravels.
The tunnel was successfully recommissioned in the third quarter of 2023.
CLIENT: MANAWA ENERGY
Waipori Station 2A
In 2021, we were engaged to reduce asset risk for the Waipori tunnel in the Waipori Hydroelectric Power Scheme.

Our scope of works involved: procurement of the contractor provision of technical services, including survey and digital engineering to collate the information developed during the investigation phases and monitoring of construction; a LIDAR scan of all the assets; geophysical surveys; concrete sampling and testing; and construction supervision of contact and TAM grouting works, to increase the resilience of the asset.
We’re proud to provide cost effective solutions for this 80MW scheme that is a key part of the Manawa portfolio.
There are several other challenging and excellent projects we have helped with, including: the Central Interceptor Project in Auckland; the Hobson Bay sewer replacement in Melbourne; the National Archives Building in Wellington; the Bridgewater Bridge in Tasmania, and the DC/2020/05 Shatin Caverns in Hong Kong – but we hope this selection gives you the flavour of our work.
