New Journey Begins For Harker Underground Construction

New Journey Begins For Harker Underground Construction

One of New Zealand’s largest tunnelling companies launched its new look this week and also has plans to launch its expertise and experience into international markets.

Leading experts in underground tunnelling, pipelines and shaft construction, Harker Underground Construction is part of Hawkins Group.

Harker undertakes work with other companies either as part of a consortium or as a subcontractor. They also partner with the team at Hawkins on major construction and infrastructure projects.

As well as traditional tunnelling capability including ‘drill and blast’ excavation, Harker has the largest range of micro tunnelling and pipe jacking equipment in New Zealand enabling the creation of tunnels and pipelines from 100mm to 3000mm diameter. It also has the expertise to procure larger equipment through its international supply chain.

“It’s an exciting time for Harker and for our industry,” says Rory Bishop Harker General Manager. “We’re known locally for our trenchless construction technology and, where the opportunities arise, plan to take this experience and capability offshore.”

“We know that we’re only as good as our last job and our current work, such as providing specialist support to the development of the City Rail Link Project, demonstrates the strength of the national expertise we’ve built up over 35 years.”

“With Hawkins we share common business principles and the overarching goal of building better communities. We let our actions do the talking and, as a smart, agile and relatively small company, we can directly deliver our part on the most complex of projects.”

“Harker has the people, the experience, the partners and now a new brand. Through the quality of our work and our vision we’re ready to be the best in the tunnelling and underground construction market.”
