PROJECT A - Wastewater

In the heart of Marlborough, our team specialises in both economic septic tank and secondary wastewater system design, ensuring adherence to the highest environmental standards of the region and throughout New Zealand.

To design the optimal onsite wastewater system for your property in Marlborough or Nelson, we delve deep into understanding multiple factors. These include the property's number of bedrooms, water flow rates, land topography, available land area, soil composition, and proximity to potential risks like neighboring boundaries or waterways. Our holistic approach encompasses every stage - from initial investigation and design to building and resource consent applications, culminating in a thorough commission inspection.

For a recent project, we tackled a site with highly restrictive soils, which had minimal effluent soakage potential. Our innovative solution involved a secondary treatment system employing drip line irrigation. By securing it to the slope, mulching, and then planting, we ensured an eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

A standout feature of this secondary wastewater system is its use of tiger worms for effluent treatment. This approach minimises the design's complexity by reducing the number of moving and electrical parts, while also championing an eco-friendly treatment method. The homeowners are notably proud of this forward-thinking system, often sharing stories of how friends are captivated by the worm-driven wastewater treatment process.

PROJECT B - Drone Survey

  • Drone Surveying in Marlbrough

  • Volume calculations and assessment using RTK enabled drones

In Blenheim, Marlborough, our advanced drone technology showcases a range of applications. A prime example of its capabilities is the service we recently provided to a client. Using our drones and the expertise of our pilots, we determined the exact volume of spoil to be removed. This precise calculation enabled the client to obtain a definitive fixed price and a clear timeframe for soil extraction, illustrating the versatility and accuracy of drone applications in Blenheim, Marlborough.

Such drone surveys are just one of many uses. They prove invaluable for quarries, earthwork contractors, and developers, both large and small. Beyond this, in our commitment to transparency and precision, we regularly employ drones to conduct volume verifications, ensuring accurate soil deliveries and more.
