TECHNICAL SKILLS

We have a small team who have a wealth of relevant experience in the type of work we undertake.

Peter Crawford
Proprietor/Contracts Manager

Qualifications and Technical Courses: NZ Survey Technicians Certificate, STMS.

Peter’s background in surveying is a critical part of the success of this company. Setting out of positions and levels correctly from the plans and ensuring that the levels will 'work' is of the utmost importance. As Peter is fulltime on site his skills in this area are always available for ongoing set-out.

Peter has been involved in road construction since 1975 when he began work for Downer and Co. Through experience he has developed a feel for important issues such as sub-grade strength and metal compaction. He has the maturity to know when a problem should be solved onsite and when an Engineer needs to be involved.

Brandon Hands
Proprietor/Operations Manager

Brandon has spent the last 3 and a half years managing small civil companies (Sharp Civil and Ormiston Civil) in the Manaukau Area. He has been involved in road building and subdivisonal works, including drainage, services and earthworks. During this time he has been involved with council representatives, engineers, and managing subcontractors to achieve exceptional products on time and on budget. A big part of Brandon’s job was looking after Health and Safety, and has the proud claim of having no injuries of incidents on any of his sites.

Prior to taking up a more management position Brandon has worked with numerous companies in the Auckland region as a machine operator and drain layer. Therefore he has a first hand knowledge of what he trying to create and how best to achieve it.

Clinton has been operating machines for the last 10 years. During this time he has gained experience in all aspects of the earthworks and civil industries. He has worked along side Brandon in his two previous positions. He is well aware of matters of quality and site safety.

RESOURCES

The philosophy of Sureway Civil with regards to machinery is to utilise the abundance of quality dry hire machinery from the likes of Goughs Cat Rental and Hirepool to supply our team with top quality equipment and to get the exact machine that suits the project. We also have access to a pool of equipment we share with our business partner as listed below to make sure we are never caught short.

We have at our disposal many loyal subcontractors including Fulton Hogan, Gleeson and Cox Transport, Eastern Earthmovers as well and many other quality subcontractors for kerbing and retaining walls.

MANAGEMENT SKILLS

Because we are a smaller company, we do not need a complicated management system. When a client of clients representative needs to contact us, he talks directly to Peter, with whom 'the buck stops'. In this way any issues which may arise during the course of the job are quickly and amicably resolved.

Peter and his team recognise the importance of excellent relationships with the client, consulting engineer and the public. We have regular in-house site meetings at which we discuss our interface with the public, (e.g. how the public will pass through our site, and how a neighbour might be affected by our works.), and the means to overcome possible friction.

We will also deliver a Contract Quality Plan specific to the job.

METHODOLODGY

We aim is to complete our contracts in the minimum time, exceeding the specified quality, by eliminating all errors. We also programme our work to cause as little as possible interruption to the surrounding businesses and residents and to the general public.

HEALTH & SAFETY

We are committed to ensuring the safety of our staff, clients and the public, and are proud that we have an unblemished record in Health and Safety.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Our QA plan is comprehensive. We pay particular attention to the materials we supply, stringing of sub grades, compaction, finishing and hotmix resurfacing.
