This ensures street lighting designs are attractive, high quality, easy to maintain, cost effective, and operate safely.
GEOMETRIC DESIGN
TES undertakes geometric design of roads and footpaths for many of its projects. TES can produce high quality 3D AutoCAD plans which illustrates the alignments, profiles and cross sections that are often required for multi-modal and complex projects to ensure the design is comfortable, safe and complies to standards.
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION
TES staff have supervised the construction of projects varying from small minor safety improvements to major multi-disciplinary construction projects. We provide project management skills, MSQA, and Engineer to Contract roles.

Also, we have experience of managing sub-contractors for large multi-disciplinary projects, including structural engineers, pavement specialists, urban designers, landscape architects, planners, land-surveyors and arborists.
PAVEMENT ROAD WIDENING, REALIGNMENT, AND REHABILITATION
TES are experts in field of investigating and designing pavement road widening and realignments and have undertaken these types of projects throughout Auckland. Our staff frequently liaise with pavement rehabilitation companies to keep an up-to-date knowledge base of their products and practices. In addition TES has access to the RAMM database (Road Assessment and Maintenance Management), and can provide clients with expert analysis on the conditions of road assets and determine when maintenance is required.

TES has considerable experience with stormwater management designs. TES provides a multi-disciplinary approach into creating sustainable urban drainage systems to cover key stormwater concepts such as quantity, quality and aesthetics. TES staff are familiar with most local authorities’ codes of practices and engineering standards, as well as the NIWA Hydrology systems when undertaking catchment analysis. TES has designed and modelled stormwater drainage systems such as kerbs and channels, catchpits, pipes, culverts, swales and other water sensitive designs.
