Civil Engineering.

Transforming ideas into sustainable infrastructure across New Zealand and the Pacific.
Chester’s Civil Engineering team is dedicated to creating sustainable, practical environments through innovative solutions tailored to each project's needs. From subdivisions to major infrastructure, we combine technical precision with client-centred goals to deliver resilient and functional spaces.

Strategy

The Strategy phase in civil engineering is where initial ideas are explored and evaluated to determine the feasibility and potential of a project. This stage includes assessing the project site, conducting feasibility and capacity studies, and laying the groundwork for project goals and constraints. It’s about defining the scope, envisioning the project outcome, and addressing any preliminary challenges.

Capacity & Feasibility Reports

Providing insights into infrastructure capabilities and project viability.

Feasibility Reports

Evaluating the initial potential and challenges of your project site.

Design

The Design phase transforms concepts into detailed plans and specifications. This stage involves the creation of technical drawings, 3D models, and the precise layout of infrastructure elements, such as stormwater systems, road access, and earthworks. The goal is to develop a comprehensive plan that outlines how the project will be executed, supporting compliance with regulations and optimal functionality.

3D Civil Design

Using advanced 3D modelling to visualise and plan infrastructure layouts.

Earthworks & Sediment Control

Planning and implementing earth-moving and sediment control measures.

Flood Reports

Providing detailed flood risk assessments and reports to identify and mitigate potential flood hazards.

Roading & Accessway Design

Creating safe, functional access routes for vehicles and pedestrians to support smooth project integration.

Stormwater design

Developing effective stormwater systems to manage drainage and prevent waterlogging on site.

Wastewater design

Designing reliable wastewater systems to manage collection, treatment, and disposal efficiently.

Water Supply Design

Delivering reliable and compliant water supply systems for developments.

Consent

The Consent phase focused on achieving compliance with local regulatory requirements and securing the necessary approvals. This stage involves preparing and submitting documents for permits, conducting environmental and safety assessments, and addressing any council feedback. Successfully navigating this phase is crucial to keeping the project compliant and avoiding delays during construction.

Firefighting Water SUpply Assessments

Verifying that water supply meets fire safety requirements.

Flood Risk Assessments

Analysing and mitigating flood risks to protect property and infrastructure.

Construction

The Construction phase is where the project comes to life. This stage involves coordinating with contractors, managing the building process, and monitoring progress to confirm that the project adheres to the design and specifications. It includes quality assurance checks, project management, and on-site supervision to address any issues that arise, keeping the project on schedule and within budget.

Construction Monitoring

Overseeing site progress to confirm construction meets design specifications.

Contract Management

Overseeing contracts to verify terms are met and project obligations are fulfilled.

Project Management

Managing timelines and resources to keep projects on track and within budget.
