Cardno opens new office in Auckland

Professional infrastructure and environmental services provider, Cardno, is expanding its business in New Zealand to better meet the needs of its clients, by opening a new office in Auckland.

Cardno has already undertaken a range of projects in the region, and as demand for Cardno’s services continues to increase, the need for an Auckland office has become apparent.

"We have seen a growing demand for our services in the Auckland region recently, and decided that in order to adequately service these clients, we needed to have a local presence." said Cardno’s New Zealand Manager, Darcy Brittliff.

Cardno, which was established in 1945 in Australia and is celebrating a 70th Anniversary this year, has a long history in New Zealand, with its oldest predecessor company founded here in 1919.

During this time, Cardno has worked on a number of interesting and significant projects across New Zealand.

"We have extensive experience working across New Zealand on a range of project types and sizes, from the Hornby Hub Upgrade in Christchurch, Whitby Residential development and Duck Creek restoration project in Porirua, to the Waikanae water treatment plant and river recharge scheme, and public and Iwi consultation and implementation of the Opoutama wastewater scheme and treatment plant on the Mahia Peninsula.

"Locally in the Auckland region, we have already worked with Auckland Council to help protect New Zealand’s largest estuarine ecosystem, the Kaipara Harbour with our Hoteo River geomorphology project, and we continue to assist Council with various stream restoration projects across the region. Our Process Engineers have assisted Watercare on the Mangere treatment plant, which we appreciate as vital infrastructure for Auckland."

"Our expertise across our broad service offering means we can add real value to projects in the region, and we look forward to taking part in many more as continue to grow our presence in the region to service our clients."

The Auckland office is the fifth Cardno office in New Zealand, with existing offices in Wellington, Christchurch, Taupo and Hastings, and reflects Cardno’s commitment to their clients.

"For us, it is important to be where our clients are; we understand the importance of having someone local," said Darcy.

"We see big opportunities for growth here in Auckland, and we are excited for the future."
