Invest in the right
assets at the right time
We uncover the true condition of your assets and turn it into a renewal programme that stands up to your board, the regulator and the community.
We've worked with:
Every renewal decision is now an evidence test
Every renewal programme commits serious public money to assets you can’t easily see.
The Commerce Commission and Water Services Authority now expect every call to be backed by evidence, and your community expects the same.
Get it wrong and you either spend ratepayer money on assets that didn’t need it, or get caught out by a failure you didn’t see coming.
Specialist consulting for water utilities, organised around the decisions you’re accountable for.
Make decisions you can stand behind
Asset management strategy, mentoring and peer review that connect asset condition to your investment programme and hold up when others ask hard questions.
Know the true condition of your assets
Condition assessment, investigation programmes and data quality assurance, above and below ground.
Deliver renewals well
Project planning, programme delivery and construction management, so the work you’ve justified gets built to standard.
Build your team’s capability
Gravity and pressure pipe training, built on the manuals we wrote for the industry.
Two decades inside the country’s biggest water programmes
You shouldn’t have to put your name to a major investment decision on information you don’t fully trust. For over 20 years we’ve made sure New Zealand’s water utilities don’t have to.
ProjectMax authored the world-first manuals for gravity and pressure pipe inspection, and has delivered programmes for Watercare, Wellington Water and Auckland Council.
Engage us and you work directly with the senior people doing the analysis.
How an engagement works
Establish the evidence
We assess the true condition of your assets and make sure the data is trustworthy.
Build the case
We turn that evidence into a clear programme. What to renew, what can safely wait, and why.
Invest with confidence
You commit your budget knowing exactly what you’re replacing, what you’re deferring, and why, ready to show your working to anyone who asks.
