Three Decades of Construction Partnership in Canterbury When it comes to Canterbury's infrastructure, there is one partnership that is leading the way in building the region’s future. The partnership between Letton Kerb & Channel Ltd and Maugers Contracting exempli ies how long-term collaboration creates exceptional results in the construction industry. For over 30 years, the company has worked alongside Maugers Contracting on countless projects throughout the Canterbury region, with the partnership weathering economic cycles, earthquakes, and industry changes while consistently delivering quality infrastructure. “We have been working for Maugers for over 30 years on many residential and commercial subdivisions, Wigram retirement Village and numerous site works projects in and around Christchurch,” explains managing director Darryl Letton. The collaboration is more than just a business relationship – it is a testament to shared values of quality, reliability and innovation that have helped shape Christchurch's evolving landscape. The strength of this partnership was showcased with the recent Earlsbrook development at Lincoln. As one of the larger projects the companies have tackled together, it presented both challenges and opportunities. The Letton team completed extensive kerb and channel work, broom- inished concrete footpaths, and large sections of exposed aggregate concrete. These elements form the literal foundation that ties the development together, creating functional and aesthetically pleasing public spaces. The scale of the project required precise coordination between the two companies, with teams working in tandem to ensure timelines were met without compromising on quality or safety standards. Letton’s expertise in kerb and channel construction was crucial, as they brought their specialised equipment and years of experience to the project. And the collaboration extended beyond just the physical work. Both companies’ commitment to robust health and safety practices ensured that the large-scale project was completed without incident. Letton's Site Safe trained sta and SiteWise Gold award complemented Maugers’ own high safety standards, creating a work environment where safety is paramount. What makes this three-decade relationship particularly notable is how it has fostered innovation within the industry. Letton Kerb & Channel has established itself as a pioneer in the ield, being the irst company to introduce specialised carpark kerb and footpath machines in Christchurch. This commitment to innovation has been supported by the consistent work low and collaborative approach with partners like Maugers, allowing for investment in specialised equipment and techniques that bene it the entire industry. The partnership delivers advantages that extend beyond their bottom lines with streamlined project management through established communication channels, consistent quality standards developed over years of collaboration, enhanced problem-solving capabilities from combined experience, greater workforce lexibility to manage large-scale projects and improved health and safety practices through shared commitment.
