Founded in 2012 by Kent Blackler and Beau Broadhurst, On Grade Drainage & Excavation has become an indispensable partner for council, across a broad range of local infrastructure projects and flood mitigation measures throughout Kaiapoi and Rangiora over the last fourteen years. Their collaboration extends beyond tendered projects to include emergency and flood response services. The company’s readiness to deploy within two hours during high rainfall events, ensures On Grade’s expertise and local commitment, is keeping the district from flood risk and drainage failure.

A significant upgrade to McIntosh’s Drain Pump Station is a notable achievement from 2022, says On Grade managing director Kent Blackler. “This project replaced outdated tidal floodgates at Kaiapoi with a state-of-the-art stormwater pump station that operates regardless of the tide.” Ensuring efficient drainage during high rainfall events, On Grade Drainage & Excavation installed a whole new twin-pressure piped system under the stopbank to replace an old box culvert section and put in new rocked outlets in preparation for an innovative diesel driven pump system, that greatly secures flood resilience for the township. “This project replaced outdated tidal floodgates at Kaiapoi with a state-of-theart stormwater pump station that operates regardless of the tide.”
