PROJECT: Silver Stream Bank Reinstatement 2020 CONTRACTOR: Downer NZ CLIENT: Dunedin City Council VALUE: $460,000

Downer was awarded this contract in 2020 based on its attribute scores which demonstrated its understanding of the client’s needs.

The project was to reinstate and improve the stream’s embankments to ensure the security of supply to critical water infrastructure. Downer overcame multiple challenges on this project which included working in an active airfield, working in a waterway, working below a water main pipe bridge and a Covid-19 alert level 4 lockdown.

Downer connected to both the local community and the environment on this project aligning with its environmental principles of Kaitiakatanga. Even with the added challenges of working through an alert level 4 lockdown, the team delivered a successful project for Downer, its client and its community. Downer met the strict consent conditions and mitigated the risks around the operational airfield, instream works and protection of the pipe bridge.
