Civil engineering designed right the first time.
Our civil engineering team designs robust, buildable, and council-compliant infrastructure systems. Whether managing intense stormwater runoff, designing private wastewater pumping mains, calculating overland flow paths, or optimizing cut-and-fill earthworks for sloping sites, we ensure smooth Engineering Plan Approval (EPA).
Service Overview
Key Scope & Capabilities
Every engagement is supported by rigorous research against relevant District Plan rules, Auckland Unitary Plan standards, and the Resource Management Act.
- Stormwater reticulation, detention, retention, and soakage design
- Wastewater drainage, common private drains, and pump station design
- Overland flow path (OLFP) and flood risk assessments
- Earthworks cut/fill optimization and sediment control plans
- Vehicle crossing, concrete driveway, and accessway gradients
- Engineering Plan Approval (EPA) applications and construction monitoring

Our Step-by-Step Process
How we take your project from initial concept to certified approval with clarity at every stage.
1. Site Investigation
Review council drainage GIS, public mains capacity, and site contours.
2. Hydraulic Design
Calculate catchment runoff, detention tank volumes, and pipe gradients.
3. Plan Generation
Draft detailed construction drawings, long sections, and standard details.
4. EPA Lodgement & Sign-off
Lodge EPA with council engineers and conduct site inspections during construction.
Civil Engineering Design & Infrastructure FAQs
Common questions regarding consent requirements, council processes, and deliverables.
An EPA is council approval required prior to constructing public infrastructure (e.g. connecting into public stormwater/wastewater mains, constructing public roads, or building over council pipes).
