Civil Engineering Excellence
We are proud of our reputation for delivering excellence in civil engineering. This is a key focus for the skilled and experienced engineers in the Engineering Design Consultants’ (EDC) team.
First and foremost, by facilitating effective and sustainable use of natural resources and providing you with practical, a cost-effective solution, our aim is to ensure that our design work meets your objectives and the relevant council requirements.
Our civil engineering services are outlined below. If you require further information or would like to speak with one of our engineers, please do not hesitate to call us on 09 451 9044.
Land development
From initial concept to detailed design, cost estimating, consent applications, specifications, cost schedules, and construction monitoring, we provide a complete service for residential, commercial and industrial land development projects.
Earthworks
With the benefit of our highly experienced team of geotechnical, civil and environmental engineers, we offer high-level skills for excellent earthworks design (including silt control design in accordance with Local and Regional Council requirements)––fundamental to the success of your land development project.
Stormwater drainage
We pride ourselves on our practical approach to stormwater drainage design, using computer analysis to back up our proposals for improvements to existing infrastructure, and designing new drainage systems to serve subdivisions and new developments. We can also provide specific investigation and design services for on-site stormwater soakage systems, when reticulation is not an option. See also our work on overland flood paths and flood-prone sites – Tackling Environmental Issues.
Wastewater drainage
With design expertise based on practical experience and our extensive knowledge of public health standards, we provide complete services for new wastewater drainage reticulation and the rehabilitation of existing systems in the urban environment. As well, our expertise extends to the design of individual and communal on-site wastewater treatment facilities, pump stations, and disposal fields for rural clients.
Water supply
Our team provides a full range of engineering services relating to water supply. This includes evaluating existing water supply systems using computer modelling, designing and monitoring the construction of new supply networks using detailed designs, and specifications that meet local and national potable water standards.
Environmental performance
Mitigation measures to reduce the impact of land development, earthworks, stormwater diversion and wastewater disposal are crucial to many civil engineering projects. We have experience with a wide range of environmental mitigation measures that will strengthen your applications for consent and help you to achieve sustainable development.
We can also provide you with survey and town planning services through Orion Development Consultants, our co-operative alliance with two highly-regarded specialist surveying and planning companies.
