Removing all excess water from your work site ensures it is safe and protects the integrity of structures and their surrounding areas.
Compressor and Generator Hire
We have a growing fleet of compressors and generators available for hire. These are easily portable and powered by diesel, making them suitable for a range of needs. Our generators have been used to provide power to a range of events in and around Marlborough. They can also be used to provide power to worksites to run large motors, pumps, and electrical equipment. Our generators range from 18 KVA to 110 KVA and our compressors range from 200 CFM to 1600 CFM. Hire rates for generators and compressors, are based on the size of the unit and are calculated on an hourly or daily rate.
Infiltration Galleries
We install horizontal infiltration galleries for water supply systems. These are laid below the water table and collect groundwater through the gravel. We have constructed and installed a large number of these on both the Awatere and Wairau Rivers. Recently we have also installed these structures outside the Marlborough district.
