Farming

From irrigation schemes to large-scale dairy conversions, we own the fleet and expertise to ensure water reliability and productive land

Experts in farming infrastructure

We provide a comprehensive service for the agricultural sector, managing every phase from bulk earthworks and reservoirs to the commissioning of complex water networks.

Irrigation & water reticulation

We deliver major water distribution networks that keep the South Island growing. Our teams specialise in the installation of large-diameter GRP and HDPE pipelines, intake structures, and pump stations, managing complex alignments across rugged rural terrain to deliver water exactly where it is needed.

Farm development & earthworks

We transform land to maximise productivity. From massive storage reservoirs and effluent ponds to dairy conversions and farm tracks, we utilise our heavy fleet to reshape the landscape with speed and precision, ensuring effective water management and access across your property.

Rural civil structures

We build the critical structures that connect your property. Our capabilities include constructing concrete bridges, stock underpasses, and large-scale culverts. We handle the full civil package, including foundations and retaining walls, to ensure durable, long-term access across your land.

FAQ

Have questions about our commercial services? Here are the answers to the most common things clients want to know before work begins.

Can you work around livestock and crops?

Yes. We plan our construction programmes around the farming calendar. For projects like the Acton Irrigation Scheme, we coordinated extensively with landowners to ensure crops were harvested or planted to allow for pipeline installation without disrupting the season.

Do you handle the full irrigation scheme build?

Yes. We manage the entire civil package, from the intake structure and pump station construction to the trenching, pipe laying, and final testing and commissioning of the network.

What types of pipe do you install?

We are experienced with all major agricultural pipe types, including GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), ranging from small diameter laterals to massive DN1100 main lines.

Can you build large water storage reservoirs?

Yes. We have the heavy machinery, including motor scrapers and 40T+ excavators, to construct large-scale storage dams and lined reservoirs efficiently.

Do you manage environmental consents?

Yes. We operate under ISO 14001 standards and manage all environmental compliance on site, including sediment control and dewatering discharge, to ensure you meet regional council requirements.
