Transforming farmland on the Raglan peninsula into an urban residential development involved multiple contracts covering diverse aspects such as bulk earthworks, geotechnical remediation, streamworks, roading, concrete works, stormwater and wastewater drainage, wastewater pump station installation, water reticulation, and utilities installation. Recognizing the environmental challenges posed by catchments leading directly into the harbor, the site's remoteness, and the unpredictability of the microclimate, stringent controls were implemented. Real-time monitoring, weekly winter works reporting, and monitoring were integral to risk mitigation.

Addressing environmental concerns, Hick Bros deployed its patented Autofloc system, allowing remote monitoring of treatment devices and proactive dosing ahead of anticipated rainfall events. This innovative approach not only showcased the company's commitment to environmental stewardship but also demonstrated adaptability to the unique challenges posed by the Raglan peninsula development. The comprehensive strategy employed by Hick Bros reflects a dedication to responsible urban development, ensuring both the sustainability and environmental resilience of the transformed landscape.
