Sustainable engineering for a sustainable future. Geotechnical • Environmental • Natural Hazards 3 Waters • Subdivision & Land Development In a move set to bolster Northland's engineering capabilities, Geologix Consulting Engineers plans open a new o ce in Kerikeri within the next three to six months. This expansion marks a signi cant step for the Auckland-based rm, which has been steadily increasing its presence in the Northland region. "Around 50% of our work is Northland based, so it made sense to establish a permanent presence in the region. We are set to bring our skills into Northland, providing a high level of technical expertise to local projects,” says director of Geologix Edward Collings. Founded in 2021, Geologix has quickly established itself as a multidisciplinary engineering company with a focus on sustainability and quality solutions with 15 full time engineers. The rm specialises in geotechnical and environmental engineering, while also o ering services in natural hazard assessments, 3 waters engineering, and subdivision and land development. "We're a one-stop shop for everything to do with land development and subdivision engineering," says Edward. "This includes LiDAR and topographic surveys, ecology, and contaminated land services. Our ability to do everything in-house allows us to o er our clients a complete solution." Geologix's expansion into Northland is not just about business growth; it also aligns with the company's commitment to sustainability. As a certi ed Climate Positive Business Operation, Geologix has measured and o set 120% of its carbon footprint with certi ed carbon credits. "Basing locally makes sense to reduce our carbon footprint. It's part of our on-going e ort to operate more sustainably as we grow and aligns with our sustainable approach to development." The move to Kerikeri also presents opportunities for local employment. This approach not only supports the local economy but also aligns with Geologix's philosophy of community engagement and giving back to Aotearoa. "We'll be looking to recruit for some key positions in Kerikeri. We'd like to source sta locally if possible and this is a strong driver for us." Edward says that Geologix already has strong relationships with local companies such as Northland Planning & Development. "We've worked with Northland Planning & Development for many years, providing a one-stop shop for engineering requirements, particularly for subdivision and land use consent engineering design. It’s a very collaborative working relationship and they provide us with reliable and exible planning solutions that inform the engineering decisions we make. Their skills are key to what we do on projects we work on together." While Geologix is setting down roots in Northland, the company maintains a broad perspective working nationally and internationally. For example it has designed lm sets in Northland, tunnels and deep shafts in Auckland, a major land ll in Rotorua, worked on government buildings in Rarotonga, resorts in Fiji and Bali, and even a cultural project in London. Edward says this blend of local focus and global experience positions Geologix well to tackle the diverse range of projects in Northland. From complex stormwater and wastewater designs to geotechnical challenges, the rm is equipped to handle the region's unique engineering needs. As Geologix prepares to open its Kerikeri o ce, Edward says the move is seen as a win-win for both the company and the region. “Northland gains access to high-level technical expertise, while Geologix strengthens its presence in a key market.” Geologix Consulting Engineers Expands to Northland
