Who We Are

We’ve proudly served the wider East Coast for over 30 years, driven by a passion for our region, communities, and people.

Working across the East Coast gives us a deep understanding of our unique environment. We see our road and power networks as the lifelines to our communities. Given the heavy vehicle traffic, isolation of the region and it’s townships, and the demand on the networks, we understand how crucial these lifelines are and the importance of keeping them open to the public.

Over the years, we’ve expanded our services to support the contracting industry, providing end-to-end solutions for specialised infrastructure maintenance. Our experience in emergency cleanups after major weather events has proven our ability to respond quickly and efficiently; providing the right resources when and where they are needed.

Known by our customers for being easy to work with, reliable, and resourceful, we’ve built strong industry relationships. We’ve continuously provided services to a range of clients, including NZTA, Gisborne District Council, Wairoa District Council, Downer NZ, Fulton Hogan, Eastland Group, and Firstlight Network.

Our team of experts is ready to assist, support, and advise. We believe the best working relationships are those built on trust, honesty, and integrity. Our core values reflect the way we live and the way we work.

We are accredited to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 – Quality, Environmental, and Health and Safety systems.
