ProjectMax works with Watercare, Wellington Water, Auckland Council, South Taranaki DC, Waitaki DC, Christchurch City and Waimakariri DC.

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.

What we do

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.

How an engagement works

Talk to us
01

Establish the evidence

We assess the true condition of your assets and make sure the data is trustworthy.

02

Build the case

We turn that evidence into a clear programme. What to renew, what can safely wait, and why.

03

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.

Two decades inside the country’s biggest water programmes

Who we are

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.
