Water Engineering
Essential. Sustainable. Comprehensive.
Our water engineering services ensure effective design and management of water resources. Getting the right design of where our water comes from and goes to is a fundamental part of development. With extensive experience in stormwater, water supply, wastewater and construction monitoring, our team delivers comprehensive solutions for all facets of water engineering services. We prioritise sustainable practices and regulatory compliance, working closely with clients and regulatory bodies to achieve smarter outcomes in both design and construction phases.
We work with a variety of clients for residential, commercial and industrial developments. By collaborating with our other services, we pull together best practice and the right expertise to deliver integrated, sustainable and practical designs. This approach ensures that our projects are environmentally responsible, economically viable, and compliant with regulatory requirements, including Te Mana o te Wai, the vital importance of water.
