2023 CCNZ Category B Winner - Whiteman’s Road Railway Crossing 

This project was a tricky bulk water asset renewal project, rich with risks and challenges such as working within a rail corridor, major arterial routes and working through the grounds of a school -and outside a shopping centre to name a few.

We’re proud of how we overcame these challenges to make the project a success. With excellent and experienced leadership at all phases of the project, translating good planning - and some dynamic problem-solving - into good delivery. It was especially great to be recognised in such a strong field of projects from across the region.

CCNZ Best Project Award 2018 - The Terrace Sewer & Stormwater Renewals

In 2018 we completed a challenging renewal project on the Terrace in Wellington’s CBD. The project was complex and high profile – we knew going into it that we would have to bring our best game to succeed. But we also knew that the project played to our strengths with elements of innovative trenchless installation and difficult excavation work around congested underground services.

The team on site performed excellently and this award represents all their hard work and effort.

CCNZ John Carson Memorial Health & Safety Award 2015 for the Three Waters Diversions on the Johnsonville Transport Improvements Project

This project was part of a broader scheme to improve transport in the centre of Johnsonville. Our scope included diversions of the Stormwater, Wastewater and Potable Water infrastructure to facilitate the work.

The judges were impressed by the way we candidly described health and safety challenges on the project and the action that we had taken to overcome them. Our attitude to health and safety is that we need to have open and honest discussions at all levels of the business to ensure we do everything that we can to protect our people and anyone else affected by our activities. We are grateful to the judges and CCNZ for the mature way that they approached and evaluated our submission.
