HEB Construction

Ka pai to Holmes Aus & NZ, who were recognised at the recent ACE New Zealand awards for their Omāroro Reservoir design 👏 We partnered with Holmes to develop a cost-effective and sustainable reservoir for Wellington Water, and we're delighted to see this work continue to be recognised 💧 Awesome mahi team!

Earlier this week Joe Wise, our Winning Work Manager, joined a CCNZ Auckland Branch panel helping contracting organisations understand and develop great tenders. His top tip? Take the time to form relationships. The industry runs on relationships - in fact, all of Aotearoa does. We all know this, but it can be easy to forget when you’re busy keeping your business moving. Those meetings, coffees, and site visits are time well spent though, and if you’re not asking your clients, partners, and suppliers how you can support them, you can be sure your competitors are! 👋 #winningwork #tendering #relationshipbuilding

Congratulations to our recent BOP CCNZ award winners! L-R: Tomasi Warren, Project Engineer, has dedicated himself to learning since joining HEB as a labourer.

Craig Higgins, Operator, is a dedicated Health and Safety rep, who prioritises his team's safety through methodical risk assessments. He took out the Apprentice of the Year award for his mahi to foster collaboration and community while keeping his team safe. Ka pai e hoa mahi ma! 👏 🏆 #awardwinners #leadership #civilconstruction

Works are progressing at pace at Flat Bush! We’ve poured and cured the bridge deck and are preparing to build retaining walls for the approach areas. When complete, the bridge will connect with various walking tracks around the Fletcher Living development, where residents can enjoy the native bush and pūhā beds 🌿🌲🍃 #concretepour #bridgedeck #constructionmilestone #nativebush

Piling is progressing well at Te Whau Pathway. When complete, the pathway will follow the edge of the Whau River, linking 33 parks, reserves, esplanades, sports parks, and roads, and connecting communities in Green Bay, Avondale, New Lynn, Kelston, Glendene, and Te Atatū South. We’re currently building the North Western Cycleway to Roberts Road Connection in Te Atatū South, for client Auckland Council, in collaboration with Whau & Henderson Massey Local Boards, Te Kawerau a Maki, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, and Te Whau Pathway Environmental Trust. Piling is a huge part of this mahi, with 246 piles to drive on this 920 m-long section of boardwalk! https://lnkd.in/gSxPHe9r #piling #construction #publicinfrastructure

We’ve landed six 45T super-tee beams on the Flat Bush Stream Crossing. Despite having to deliver most of our work from the abutment areas, the teams’ planning has seen them reach this milestone within just one month of being on-site. The site is in a subdivision, and collaborating with our client Fletcher Living enables other works to proceed around the bridge structure. We installed handrails, edge formwork, and services before landing the beams, eliminating the risk of doing so at height. Our next milestones will be pouring the bridge deck, building the approach retaining walls, and installing the bridge barriers. Stay tuned! #safety #innovation #constructionmilestone

We had a great time at the Smart Christchurch Innovation Expo last week. A Christchurch City Council initiative, the expo celebrated resilience, creativity, and collaboration. We joined the Council's City Streets booth, sharing our new surfacing products and AI-enabled footpath scooter. We’re using this to capture, analyse, and record data on footpath conditions around Christchurch. This information is then used to prioritise areas for footpath renewal, to keep the city’s footpaths safe and accessible for everyone 🚶♀️🦼🚲 Here’s Carol Ma, our National Maintenance Assets Lead, taking it for a spin #innovation #surfacing #safety #accessability Nicholas Brewer Johann van Staden

It’s always great to hear which aspects of our projects resonate with our community members. We’re committed to protecting our taonga species during delivery. After all, they were here first! Before and during this mahi, we worked with Hamilton City Council and @Ecology NZ to survey for pekapeka (bats), manu (birds), mokomoko (lizards), tuna (eels), koura, and mudfish. Those found in the area were captured and safely rehomed nearby. Now that we’ve finished building and the native planting is maturing, we expect the area to be home to these species once again #community #infrastructure #environmental

Congratulations on the appointment of Stephanie Kirk and Dr. Chris Wilcox to the Board of Directors of the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) - Australasia. The IECA, representing over 52 countries, is a leading organisation in the erosion and sediment control industry. It provides vital education, resources, and networking opportunities for professionals in the field. Sedimentation from erosion is a significant environmental concern, particularly in construction and earthworks projects. As industry professionals, we have a responsibility to recognise and minimise these impacts on our waterways and ecosystems. HEB Construction has been a long-standing supporter of the IECA and their vital role in advancing environmental good practices, championing sustainable land management and erosion control initiatives. We commend the invaluable work they do to protect our natural resources for future generations. Steph and Chris were voted to the board by their peers in the industry and will begin their tenure in October. We look forward to hearing from them both on their contributions to the IECA and the broader erosion control community. 👍 https://lnkd.in/gnMw7kbt
