Hunter Civil’s Nelson branch has won the Canterbury/Westland Civil Contractors “Underground Services Award” for their work on the Bell Island wastewater system. The project involved duplicating and upgrading a 1.4km pipeline, using advanced structural lining under SH6—the first time this technology was used in the Southern Hemisphere.

The upgrade increases capacity, reduces wet-weather overflows, and extends the pipeline’s service life by 20 years. Careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and innovative solutions, including realigning the Great Taste Cycle Trail, were key to the project’s success.
