Civil Engineering

We provide complete land development engineering and subdivision engineering services, supporting you from initial concepts through detailed designs to help realise your vision. Our work supports a wide range of developments, including multi-unit sites, sports field upgrades, and commercial properties. We prepare essential site suitability reports and undertake feasibility assessments addressing crucial aspects like vehicle access and earthworks for proposed subdivisions. Our aim is to streamline the process, assisting you with resource consent engineering and navigating local requirements, to help facilitate the smooth progression of your land development.

Effective stormwater management is vital for sustainable development in Northland. We offer comprehensive stormwater design and stormwater management services that are designed for connection into existing Far North District Council (FNDC) reticulation systems. Our team prepares crucial stormwater attenuation reports to support Building Consent applications for new dwellings and driveways. We also conduct detailed assessments of catchment areas and storm water flows, prepare stormwater plans and management reports, and undertake feasibility stormwater assessments for proposed subdivisions. Our solutions embrace sustainable practices, including aspects of green infrastructure and addressing storm water runoff solutions to contribute to environmental protection.

Designing for reliable and compliant water infrastructure is a core part of our expertise. We provide wastewater design for connections and infrastructure solutions for subdivisions and individual developments, including onsite wastewater disposal design. Our services include designing potable water supply systems, connecting into existing FNDC reticulation. We also provide thorough water supply assessments, including crucial firefighting water supply, by reviewing site plans and leveraging NIWA rainfall data. Our expertise extends to wastewater disposal solutions and wastewater treatment processes relevant to local systems, to support efficient water and waste management.

Managing earthworks efficiently and responsibly is critical for any development. We provide detailed earthworks design, aiming to balance cut and fill volumes as practically as possible. Our services include preparing essential earthworks drawings and offering practical earthworks recommendations within geotechnical reports. We also provide engineering services to respond to RFIs regarding retrospective earthworks and offer geotechnical assessments on the stability of earthworks, supporting safe and stable sites.

Creating safe and functional access is fundamental to any development. We provide comprehensive roading and access design services, including addressing vehicle access in site suitability reports for subdivisions and providing traffic engineering services for developments. Our team prepares detailed design drawings for entrances, integrating stormwater and wastewater designs to function cohesively. We're also involved in optimising driveway design and improving access as part of larger projects, helping to enhance connectivity.

Throughout the construction phase, our involvement helps ensure your civil design aspects are built to specification. We undertake civil construction monitoring of civil design elements like access ways, wastewater, stormwater, and water supply, including earthworks. At the conclusion of construction monitoring, we issue a construction certificate (Schedule 1C of NZS4404:2010) or Producer Statement to support compliance. We also prepare essential completion documentation, including as-built details, practical completion reports, and maintenance and operation manuals, providing a complete record of your project.
