Some projects that our grads have been involved in recently:

• Upgrading wastewater networks and wastewater transmission systems (pumpstations and pipelines) within Auckland region,
• Assess and design wastewater, water and stormwater upgrades for the Department of Corrections,
• Upgrading potable water supply networks across different neighborhoods,
• Stormwater hydrological and hydraulic assessments to design road drainage and culvert details for Cyclone Gabrielle Recovery.

Some of our day to day tasks include:

• Assessing stormwater catchments and peak flows for different design storm events
• Civil pipeline design for new 3Waters networks across Auckland
• Site visits to understand real life constraints and opportunities for development
• Using CAD/Civil3D software to develop designs and assist with drawings.
• Using design software to analyze hydraulics of pipelines
• Performing data analysis and design calculations.
• Attending workshops, training, and career development opportunities.
• Reviewing drawings and designs for construction projects.
• Assisting with work on drinking water and wastewater treatment plants.
• Developing risk registers, schedule of quantities, basis of payments and project specification documentation
