Solving growing population challenges using geotechnical knowledge

Combining Aurecon's global ground and underground engineering expertise with multidisciplinary knowledge helps us meet the evolving needs of our growing communities. Fundamental to community-shaping road and tunnel, rail and other civil engineering projects, is ground and underground engineering. And we know it well.

Our specialist skills are exemplified through our work on projects across the world such as Melbourne Metro Tunnel, Te Ahu a Turanga: Manawatū-Tararua Highway, Auckland City Rail Link, Hong Kong Express Rail Link, Hong Kong South Island Line and Singapore Jurong Regional Line, and our knowledge extends across all stages of project delivery, right from the beginning of the conceptual phase and down to the specialist supervision for construction on major projects.

Our geotechnical specialists conceive simple solutions to complex problems, manage geotechnical risks for clients and create novel design approaches using the latest digital tools such as for Auckland City Rail Link.
