We start with people – the cyclist commuting to work, the

office worker, families at play in the local park.

The human perspective we bring to every project ensures our

clients deliver infrastructure solutions that enhance the lives

of people.

How do we do it? By working as a truly connected enterprise.

When you choose Opus, you don’t just deal with the

local office. Our project teams live and work in the very

communities our projects are delivered. From this real world

context, we draw on a global pool of engineering expertise,

behavioural science, and big data to solve client challenges in

a holistic way.

It means the infrastructure we deliver is really smart, operates

sustainably, and keeps performing over an extended life.

The value we place on our people, partners and clients is

demonstrated in our commitment to leading best practice in

health, safety and wellness for our staff, the world over.

Opus today is a world away from our predecessor,

the Public Works Department. It was 1870 when the

government body opened up New Zealand’s pristine

countryside to deliver a national road and rail network.

For the next 100 years, the Public Works Department

– renamed Ministry of Works and Development in 1943 –

spearheaded New Zealand’s great infrastructure buildout,

establishing military installations, hydroelectricity

facilities, airports, tunnels, and irrigation schemes.

In 1988 the ministry became a state-owned enterprise

– a move that launched the organisation’s consultancy

division as a separate operating business, called Works

Consultancy Services. Sold in 1996 to Kinta Kellas

of Malaysia, the business was rebranded to Opus

International Consultants Limited (Opus) in 1997 and

listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in 2007.

Today, 3,000 Opus designers, architects, planners

and engineers work across the globe, developing

world-leading social and fixed infrastructure for our

communities.

We serve 12,000 clients from offices in New Zealand,

Australia, the UK, and North America.

Planning and developing sustainable water supply is a

complex business.

As one of the leading water sector service providers,

our smart water supply and treatment facilities set the

standard for sustainable water management.

Opus water specialists helped spearhead SCIRT

(Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team),

designing water and wastewater systems, and guiding

investment for New Zealand’s 3-Waters networks –

assets worth an estimated NZD$45.2 billion. In the

harbour city Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, we

designed and constructed the Five Fingers Ocean

Outfall. Also in British Columbia, we designed a

wastewater treatment plant for the city of Ladysmith,

and a new membrane filtration water treatment plant

for the District of Sicamous.

Consulting Services:

• Water & Wastewater Treatment

• Conveyance (Distribution & Storage)

• Storm Water & Flood Risk Management

• Water Resources – Rivers, Lakes & Coastal

• Water For Agriculture

We sustain usable water for cities, communities, and industry.Water

Buildings

We are a global team of property consultants, project

managers, architects, urban designers, engineers, space

planners, and interior designers.

Our skills with building information modelling (BIM)

ensure contractors work with better information and

build with more certainty. We also know holistic asset

management inside-out, helping clients to prioritise

investment and extend the life of their buildings.

For the Waikato University, in Hamilton, NZ, Opus

designed the new NZD$30m Law School building

to whole-of-life principles that minimise ownership

costs over the building’s life. In the UK we designed

storage facilities for the Royal National Lifeboat

Institution’s lifeboats. Clifftop launch-sites required

advanced structural and geotechnical designs.

And in Christchurch, NZ, where the earthquake

recovery continues, we designed our own city office,

incorporating the latest seismic design standards to

withstand earthquakes.

Consulting Services:

• Building Maintenance Management

• Building Commissioning & Soft Landings

• Structural & Seismic Engineering

• Architectural Design

• Interior Design

• Electrical Engineering

• Mechanical Engineering
