We design systems for water supply, wastewater management, stormwater drainage and utilities (electricity, gas, telecom) to serve the developed area.
We design roads, right of ways, driveways and vehicle crossings for development access.
We provide designs for both large scale bulk earthworks and smaller scale detailed earthworks, for both resource consent and construction purposes.
We prepare comprehensive Engineering Approval (EA) Applications and work closely with the local authorities (council) for approval.
Construction tendering requires detailed scheduling, specifications and plans. We prepare all necessary documentation and work with local contractors to tender the works.
We take on the role of engineer to the contract under NZS3910. We fully administer the contract including processing of payment claims, verification of quantities & liaison with all parties.
During construction, we undertake regular site inspections to ensure compliance with local authority requirements and design intent.
At the completion of construction, we prepare the necessary sign off documentation required by the local authorities and obtain sign-off for the project.
We are engaged by individuals, organisations or companies. We have a broad client base and undertake a huge range of projects, from large, ongoing subdivisions and mapping, through to one-off surveys for home-owners. Generally, our services are sought by:
Historically in New Zealand, the activity of land development engineering has been tasked under the responsibility of a land surveyor. In recent years, Survey & Spatial New Zealand recognised Land Development Engineering as its own field, and formed a pathway for surveyors who specialise in Land Development Engineering to be formally qualified, and able to sign off on design and construction work. Now, through this qualification process, surveyors experienced in this discipline can become a ‘Certified Professional Land Development Engineer’ (CPLDEng) and a full member of Survey & Spatial New Zealand (MS+SNZ).
TrueSouth’s Certified Professional Land Development Engineer, Tim McDougall, was one of the first in New Zealand be awarded this certification.
