Property & Construction | CB Civil and Drainage
Delivering ‘in the trench’ experience The team at CB Civil and Drainage boasts more than 25 years of experience in the civil contracting industry, including all aspects of drainage, sheet piling, well-point dewatering, site works and minor civil structures. CB Civil is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing contractors, and employs more than 50 permanent staff with branches in Auckland, Christchurch and more recently Kaikoura. They are members of Civil Contractors NZ, and believe that collaboration between contractor and stakeholder(s) is the key to the successful delivery of contracts. CB Civil and Drainage has been working hard assisting in Kaikoura to clear slips, re-align railways, build retaining walls and new road corridors to get the state highway open. Back in 2014/15, CB Civil and Drainage completed an award winning renewal of the Sumner Scarborough stormwater and wastewater networks. The scope of work included the renewal of more than three kilometres of stormwater and wastewater infrastructure from 100mm to 375mm using PVC, PE, concrete pipes, and manhole/sump structures to 3m deep, including well-point de-watering and sheet piling.
“This project presented several challenges such as deep excavations up to five metres, wellpoint dewatering, severely damaged existing infrastructure, and extremely difficult site access whilst maintaining access for residents,” says CB Civil and Drainage managing director, Jamie Campbell. “Our team also had to deal with unforeseen asbestos pipe removal. While the removal was subcontracted out, our team did an excellent job of identifying the risks and keeping the main contractor informed.” He says overall good communication and forward planning were all essential elements in mitigating the risks involved in this project. “Our team’s collaborative approach and technical ability ensured that, despite these challenges, we were able to deliver this project safely, on time, to specification, and within budget. We also won the Fulton Hogan Environmental Award for this project.”
A project recently completed in Bishopdale provided many challenges for CB Civil and Drainage, such as poor ground conditions, strong existing flows, concrete encased existing services, and a tight timeframe for project completion.
“The site was narrow, and managing this required detailed programming and planning. In order to meet the tight timeframe, we utilised two crews.” CB Civil and Drainage’s ‘in the trench experience’, problem solving skills, and collaborative approach ensures the success of all undertaken projects. CT
“The soil is a soft wet peat which means we have to deal with difficult ground conditions,” says Jamie.

“We had to open 20m to 30m of trench at a time to install the piles. Our methodology created by our site team included digging, shoring, and placing a drainage layer and concrete blinding which enabled us to manage the risk.
