Following completion of the Cape Reinga Seal Extension in 2010, our efforts to deliver the project in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner were rewarded with the 2011 IPENZ (now known as Engineering New Zealand) Arthur Meade Environmental Award.

Prior to completion, the project was also awarded the Infratrain New Zealand Environmental Best Practice Award in the Roading Excellence Awards 2009.

Ngāwhā Geothermal Plant Expansion

Northland Regional Council (NRC) awarded us in June 2020, for “delivering a major civil works project in an ecologically sensitive environment without adverse environmental affects”.

NRC Councillor John Bain said United Civil had successfully negotiated a balance between complex construction works and sensitive environmental considerations on the $182m Ngāwhā Geothermal Plant.

“While everything about the project was on a grand scale (e.g. construction included moving a million cubic metres of earth, building 10 huge sediment ponds, etc.), all work was achieved with zero damage to the natural environment. Even the native mudfish habitat was protected”.
