Facing the climate challenge demands leadership and collaboration across the entire industry.
Facing the climate challenge demands leadership and collaboration across the entire industry. At the recent Carbon Crunch event hosted by Mott MacDonald, Brian Perry Civil Environmental and Sustainability Manager Rachel Blake represented the construction sector, highlighting the tailwinds and crosswinds in the journey towards decarbonization. It was an informative and thought-provoking event that delved into the path forward and the crucial imperatives we must address together to eliminate carbon from our future.
Due to a lack in historical evidence and as-built records, service investigation is becoming increasingly more important.
Due to a lack in historical evidence and as-built records, service investigation is becoming increasingly more important.
Locating services during planning processes for projects can stop service strikes, costly conflicts, redesigns and unsafe environments for our workers, including in some cases loss of life.
In this Lunch and Learn session, Geospatial Technician Briana Stemp talks about GPR benefits and service locating processes.
Fletcher Reinforcing constructs the prefabricated flared reinforcing columns for piers on the flyover above Reeves Road on the Eastern Busway Project.
Fletcher Reinforcing constructs the prefabricated flared reinforcing columns for piers on the flyover above Reeves Road on the Eastern Busway Project.
The flyover is a major part of the project connecting the South-Eastern Highway with Pakūranga Road, reducing traffic on Pakūranga Road and Tī Rākau Drive, especially during peak times to make travel easier. The project is a team effort involving Auckland Transport, Fletcher Construction, ACCIONA, AECOM, and Jacobs.
Our Brian Perry Civil Wellington team planted a variety of flaxes and other native plants along the Takapu Stream next to their Tawa Yard.
Our Brian Perry Civil Wellington team planted a variety of flaxes and other native plants along the Takapu Stream next to their Tawa Yard. Senior Environmental and Sustainability Advisor Julien Huteau organised the event on the eve of Matariki with the Porirua City Council who provided the plants and dug the holes. The planting will provide better flood protection and enhance the mana of the stream.

The AI Forum of New Zealand’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) Blueprint for Aotearoa New Zealand is intended to align with the New Zealand Government’s AI Principles and Roadmap and Callaghan Innovation’s work to encourage and support the adoption of AI in Aotearoa.
This paper presents a strategy to highlight current industry investments in AI in Aotearoa and help guide strategic investments over the next five years to support AI technologies. It proposes a mechanism to leverage existing industry initiatives and programmes to help drive results and achieve our shared vision.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly showing its potential as a game-changing transformation tool across construction.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly showing its potential as a game-changing transformation tool across construction. From revolutionising project management, improving safety outcomes, and optimising construction processes these technologies will be reshaping the future of our industry. This session was originally hosted by CCNZ Auckland Branch, and the webinar looks to share this important session with members nationally.
Hosted by CCNZ Technical Manager Michelle Farrell, CCNZ presented a panel of local experts for an introduction to this technology, providing advice on how to get started, and an open Q+A session.

Nothing’s more important than keeping our people safe, but with a very diverse team, sometimes it's hard to know whether safety messages are being understood.
Nothing’s more important than keeping our people safe, but with a very diverse team, sometimes it's hard to know whether safety messages are being understood. That's why our EHS team is making safety videos available in multiple languages.
Learning Experience Designer Modi Chen produced the videos, and sourced translators from within the business. “As someone with English as a second language, I know that technical information like safety messages can be hard to understand. Working in EHS, it was really important to me to remove all barriers to understanding them.”
The first translated video, which features Puawai Waipouri, has Chinese, Hindi and Fijian subtitles, and Modi has plans to add more languages soon. You can watch the video here.
Anglian Water is a world leader in reducing carbon emissions.
Anglian Water is a world leader in reducing carbon emissions. As an early starter, the big UK water utility embarked on its carbon zero journey in 2006 and is now on track to generate 45 percent of energy from its own renewable resources by 2025 and become a full net zero carbon business by 2030.
In this Spotify podcast Jon Reed and Hannah Edmond from the Water New Zealand climate change group talk to Anglian Water’s head of carbon neutrality, David Riley about the water utility’s bold approach to tackling climate change and the carbon reduction lens covering all aspects of its operation.
