Thanking the community

Since construction started on Hawkestone Street, renewing wastewater and stormwater pipes, we’ve had some extra-interested spectators keeping a close eye on the project.

Rising main milestone

Our team delivering the Taranaki St Rising Main alongside GHD and on behalf of Wellington Water and Wellington City Council have hit a major milestone with the completion of the first two drives using Guided Auger Bore technology.

Galvanised iron watermain renewals

Going trenchless under the traffic

When it comes to installing pipes in Wellington’s busy city streets, we’ve got solutions to keep things moving as well as possible.

Keeping the City moving as efficiently as possible

We’ve been having fun on Featherston Street in Wellington's busy CBD where we are renewing the wastewater rising main with our friends at Stantec on behalf of Wellington Water.

Nice to be recognised for what we do

The team felt as blurry as this photo after a fantastic night at the 2023 Civil Contractors New Zealand (CCNZ) Wellington and Wairarapa awards.

This is the type of connection we love to make!

Over the last few weeks, we have been working on the connection for a new 450OD rising main in Bowen St, Wellington CBD on behalf of @wellingtonwater. The connection is approximately 6m deep from a new 2.55m diameter shaft into Wellington’s main intercepting sewer – a hand tunneled structure from the 1930’s.

A couple of big shifts on Jervois Quay
