Civil Engineering Services — New Zealand

Engineering-Led Delivery
You Can Build On

Your project documentation is only as good as the engineering behind it. We bring design leadership and project management experience to every CAD plan, BIM model, and technical deliverable — so your outputs are construction-ready, not just technically correct.

Engineering Services

We've led the design on major infrastructure projects — so when we produce your deliverables, we understand what matters for construction, consent, and coordination.

CAD

CAD Drafting & Documentation

Get construction-ready plans, sections, and detail sheets that pass review first time. Our engineering background means we catch coordination issues before they reach the site — not just draft what we're given.

PLN

Network Plans

Clear, fully annotated utility network plans your contractors can build from with confidence. We understand pipe networks from a design perspective, so alignments, nodes, and connections are documented with construction logic — not just geometry.

PRF

Profiles for Gravity Systems

Gravity system profiles that account for real-world constraints — inverts, gradients, and hydraulic grade lines checked against design intent. Because we've designed these systems ourselves, we know what to look for before it becomes an RFI on site.

RSM

Rising Main Profiles

Pressurised main documentation with pump connections, air valves, and scour points correctly located and annotated. Our three waters design experience means your rising main profiles reflect engineering judgement, not just data entry.

3D

Civil 3D Modelling

Surfaces, corridors, and pipe networks modelled with engineering understanding — not just software skills. You get accurate profiles, sections, and quantity take-offs that reflect design intent and are ready for construction issue.

BIM

BIM Federation & Clash Detection

Reduce rework and coordination surprises with disciplined BIM federation. We've coordinated up to eight disciplines on a single project — we know how to structure models, track clashes, and drive resolution so your project stays on programme.

VIZ

InfraWorks Visualisations

Win stakeholder buy-in with clear, compelling visual models of your project. Our visualisations are built on real engineering data, so what stakeholders see is what gets built — bridging the gap between technical design and public understanding.

GEO

Earthworks & Grading Models

Optimise your earthworks costs with accurate cut/fill models built by someone who understands platform design. We balance volumes with practical construction staging — so your quantities are reliable from tender through to completion.

ROW

Road Geometry & Utility Layouts

Road alignments and utility layouts modelled with traffic, safety, and constructability in mind. Our road design experience across state highways and local roads means your geometry works in the real world, not just on screen.

WTR

Three Waters Pipe Networks

Water supply, wastewater, and stormwater networks modelled and documented to NZ standards. Having led three waters design on projects like the Kaitaia trunk main, we bring pipeline engineering knowledge to every network model we produce.

Technical Capabilities

The tools we use are only as good as the engineering knowledge behind them. Here's what we work with every day.

Project Portfolio

We don't just document projects — we've led them. Here's what that engineering experience looks like in practice.

Transportation

Picton Ferry Precinct (iReX) — Waitohi Redevelopment

Designed approach road geometry for the Waitohi ferry terminal redevelopment — accommodating forecast traffic volumes, oversized loads, and abnormal vehicles for Interislander's new fleet.

Outcome: Secured resource consent on the first submission by providing a comprehensive, integrated environmental and engineering assessment.

Picton, Marlborough · 2019–2020 Transportation
BIM / Multi-discipline

Nelson Bus Exchange

Design lead and BIM coordinator — integrating eight design disciplines into a single federated model for the new Nelson transit hub.

Outcome: Delivered a staged construction model that minimized disruption to public transport services throughout the city centre and kept the project on its critical path.

Nelson, NZ · 2024 BIM / Multi-discipline
Disaster Recovery

Marlborough Roads Recovery

Designed reinstatement works and earthworks rehabilitation across storm-damaged road networks in the Marlborough Sounds, restoring access to isolated communities.

Outcome: Successfully accelerated the repair of critical roading assets by rapidly modeling complex geotechnical hazards, restoring community access months ahead of schedule.

Marlborough Sounds · 2021–2024 Disaster Recovery
Three Waters

Kaitaia Trunk Water Main

Lead designer for a 12 km, 500 mm diameter trunk main connecting source to treatment plant — a major water supply upgrade for the Far North.

Outcome: Produced a fully validated network model that guaranteed increased water supply security and complied with all future public health standards.

Kaitaia, Northland · 2020–2022 Three Waters
Safety Infrastructure

State Highway Safety Barriers

Barrier and safety design across multiple state highways — SH6 Nelson–Richmond median, SH1 Wellington (Porirua to Centennial Hwy), and SH3 Taranaki realignment.

Outcome: Reduced exposure to liability and serious road incidents by coordinating the swift, safe installation of critical safety infrastructure across multiple sections.

Nelson / Wellington / Taranaki Safety Infrastructure
Sports & Recreation

Saxton Field Sports Complex

Project managed development of Saxton Field including the cricket oval, soccer fields, athletics track, irrigation, drainage, and TV broadcast utilities.

Outcome: Provided a cohesive 3D design that streamlined coordination between building services and structural teams, avoiding costly clashes and allowing the facility to open on time for its premier season.
