The project was initiated in response to significant land subsidence caused by the January 2023 floods in Auckland, New Zealand. The subsidence posed a risk to hillside stability and threatened nearby properties.

The successful completion of this project involved meticulous planning and execution to create an accessway for the CAT313 excavator, bore precise holes, and construct reinforced concrete pillars. These efforts were crucial in stabilizing the hillside and protecting properties from further land subsidence.

The project successfully converted an unusable garden space into a functional, multipurpose permeable parking area using SurePave plastic pavers. The 100mm compacted gravel base provided a stable foundation, and the permeable surface ensures effective drainage and reduces runoff. The new parking space is now ready for use, providing both functionality and aesthetic improvement to the property.

This project successfully installed a drainage system in a new subdivision in West Auckland by overcoming challenging ground conditions and tight access constraints. The use of a 1.7-tonne excavator with an expandable undercarriage was crucial in navigating the site and completing the excavation work efficiently. Collaboration with local plumbers ensured that the drainage system was installed correctly and functions effectively, providing reliable drainage for the subdivision.

This project involved a complete transformation of the front garden by leveling the sloping lawn, constructing a boundary retaining wall with raised planter, installing additional drainage, creating a boat shaped sand pit and shaded play area, dividing garden areas for play and grass, and installing a new access path using upcycled materials.

This project involved the back garden being transformed into a beautiful and functional outdoor space with a new patio, concrete pathway, and lush lawn. Careful planning, proper preparation, and attention to detail ensured a successful makeover that enhances the enjoyment and usability of the garden for years to come.

Deconstruction of an outdoor brick fireplace.

Small lightweight equipment was required to minimize impact to clients lawn and accessways. A small 1.7 tonne excavator and trailer were used to remove approximately 10 tonnes of brick and concrete.

This project involved trenching 30 meters to a depth of 400mm and installing a 110mm perforated pipe covered with a permeable filter sock. The trench was backfilled with Scoria drainage metal and lined with geotextile fabric to prevent soil contamination. A drainage grate was also installed for future access in case of blockages. The new drainage system effectively mitigates flooding in the low-lying area with dense clay conditions, ensuring better water management and reducing the risk of future flooding.

By following engineered design specifications the old retaining wall could be effectively replaced with a new timber pole retaining wall that supports the existing driveway. The increase in the size of timber poles and hole depths, along with the installation of draincoil and backfilling with Scoria drainage metal, ensures proper drainage and stability for the retaining wall. Proper installation and backfilling techniques result in a durable and long-lasting structure.

Through successful planning an old concrete retaining wall could be safely deconstructed, and the area prepared for a new concrete driveway. Proper planning, demolition techniques, and concrete pouring methods ensured a successful project that enhances the functionality and appearance of the property.

The old retaining wall was safely deconstructed and replaced with a new timber pole retaining wall that included adequate drainage to manage excess groundwater. Modifications to the final design allowed for overcoming external factors such as underground services. This ensures the stability and integrity of the retaining wall. Proper planning, construction techniques, and attention to detail have resulted in a durable and effective solution for retaining soil and managing water flow.
