70 | Meeting changing needs HAC has grown from a small local business to a trusted name in West Coast contracting. CONTRACTING Henry Adams Contracting T T Aimee Wilson For nearly 30 years, Henry Adams Contracting (HAC) has been a cornerstone of the West Coast, delivering expert earthmoving, demolition and transport solutions to businesses, farmers, and local communities. Based in Hokitika, this family-owned company has built a solid reputation for quality, efficiency and reliability, shaping the region’s landscape with precision and care. Founded in 1996 by Henry and Kerry Adams, HAC has grown from a small local business to a trusted name in West Coast contracting. By continuously investing in modern machinery and upskilling their workforce, they ensure their services evolve to meet the region’s changing needs. In recent years, son Simon has joined the team, and has introduced new technology into the mix to ensure the team works smarter, not harder. His enthusiasm and drive will see the business continue as Henry and Kerry look to step back. With an extensive fleet of heavy machinery, including six- to 50-tonne excavators, bulldozers, road trucks and a dedicated transporter unit, they have the capability to handle even the most challenging tasks with ease. Before any new construction begins, proper site preparation is crucial. HAC offers a variety of services to assist, including demolition services that involve careful planning, site assessment, and safe removal of existing structures. The experienced HAC team can then carry out the necessary excavations to ensure a seamless transition from old to new. From residential works to large-scale commercial developments, industrial sites and subdivision creation, HAC is the go-to team for bulk earthworks and excavation projects. Their expertise ensures that every job is completed to the highest standards, providing a stable foundation for future growth. The West Coast’s farming sector relies on durable and efficient infrastructure, and HAC is committed to delivering exactly that. From laneways and drainage systems to paddock hump and hollowing, they design and construct solutions tailored to the unique demands of the region’s weather and terrain. Understanding the region’s rugged landscapes and unpredictable weather, HAC also specialises in rock and river protection to combat erosion and flooding. By using locally sourced materials and time-tested techniques, they construct durable stopbanks that safeguard both infrastructure and the environment. Their work protects valuable land, and ensures the safety and sustainability of West Coast communities. What truly sets HAC apart is their deep connection to the community. As a locally owned and operated business, they prioritise longterm relationships with clients, stakeholders and suppliers.
