| 13 BUILDING LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS www.subsurfacecivildrilling.co.nz AVAILABLE AT 9AM TO 6PM 03-354-8204 Herb: 0274 993 868 Email: herb@ssdl.co.nz Luke: 0274 993 080 Email: luke@ssdl.co.nz We are a company with a reputation for excellence, specialising in a range of services including directional drilling, thrust boring, pipe ramming, hydro and air spade excavation and open cut trenching. OUR SERVICES Establishing trusted long-term relationships with clients has been the foundation of Christchurch trenchless pipework installation company Subsurface Civil & Drilling’s success. “We are committed to providing services that meet or exceed our customer’s expectations,” says company owner Deane Herbert. To accomplish he says that Subsurface Civil & Drilling prioritises identifying customers’ needs and supplies to the agreed standard, every time. It works hard to enhance productivity through continuous improvement and places a high degree of importance on communication between all parties. A good example is its work for Connetics Limited, which was Subsurface Civil & Drilling’s very first contract when Dean started his company in 2000. Connetics was successful in securing part of the Telstra/Saturn contract to install a new telecommunications network in the Christchurch CBD as well as urban areas. The work delivered by Subsurface Civil & Drilling consisted of installing several continuous ducts, from 63mm to 110mm diameter, along with the installs of vaults and pedestals that were installed at most boundary lines. To cross the roads on this project pneumatic hammers (thrust boring machines) were used. It was the start of a successful relationship that has since seen Subsurface Civil & Drilling deliver a raft of services in an on-going manner including ground penetrating radar, service locates, hydro excavation works, open cut trenching and trenchless installations. Deane says that Subsurface Civil & Drilling’s reputation has seen it work throughout the South Island and it has established working relationship with Christchurch City Council, Waimakariri District Council, Hurunui District Council, Selwyn District Council and SCIRT (Christchurch City Council Earthquake Rebuild) to name but a few. “We have very strict health and safety guidelines in place in order to conduct safe on-site practices and lessen the risk of damage to persons or property,” says Deane who has around 30 years industry experience. “We conform to legislative and regulatory requirements, including the requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991, the Building Act 1991, Building Regulations 1992, and the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992. This has helped us to secure these kinds of contracts and assist these clients in an on-going manner.” When Deane started Subsurface Civil & Drilling his vision was for a company, which would provide a professional one-stop trenchless installation service. His team has been an important factor in achieving this and Deane describes his people as loyal, hardworking and passionate about what they do. Subsurface Civil & Drilling staff carry a range of qualifications: First Aid, SiteSafe, ConstructSafe, CCC approved water installers, CCC approved PE welders, confined space, KiwiRail approved installers, EAC achieved installers of electricity and Dangerous Goods Licences (DG). In addition, the trenchless staff are all NZQA trained and certified in directional drilling, directional drilling tracking, pipe laying and as site supervisors. They also attend the most up-to-date trenchless mud schools in New Zealand for large pipe bore installs. Deane says that Subsurface Civil & Drilling also targets continuous improvement in health and safety standards. The company is a member of Civil Contractors New Zealand.
