It was a privilege to be at the 70th Annual National Mine Safety and Environment Conference (ANMSEC) in Baguio City recently.

A contingent from our Philippines team (Eriko, Kaye & Julius) were joined by Cam for the massive four day event, where we were grateful to network and share knowledge with others in the sector.

70 years is quite a record and there was a lot of buzz.

Special thanks to Merianjay from the Philippine Resources Journal for the many introductions and positive support of our team, and to Philippine Mine Safety and Environment Association for putting on the event.

At RDCL, the conversation around skills shortages is ever-evolving. Over the last 16 years, we have recognised the pressing need to rethink how we approach our workforce and nurture talent from within the Geotechnical Consultancy field.

In this article, Steve Harris, the Field Business Manager for our Ground Investigations crew, shares how RDCL embraces skill-building, diversity and cultural values to cultivate the new generation of skilled professionals.

Big mihi to Steve for contributing to this article and to our team on the ground, showing how it can be done.

It was an honour to be formally welcomed onto Omāhu Marae last week, after a number of good kōrero with Te Piringa Hapū in the preceding weeks around the Upper Raupare / Chesterhope Stopbank project.

The Ngaruroro River winds its way through various different hapū areas along the stretch of river, so it is important that we engage with all local iwi partners before we go and conduct our testing on the land.

As kaitiaki of the whenua many iwi contributors were able to provide us critical insights into the ground conditions and tikanga. Not the least of which included learning of an old urupa site beside the stopbank, helping us to ensure diggers can steer clear.

At RDCL we know that partnering and consulting with tangata whenua early on is key to projects moving smoothly, in a way that benefits the future of the land. Much like engaging Geotech in the early stages of a project, consultation helps to identify and minimise risks from the outset, and greatly increases the chances of long-term project success.

Thank you to all of the people who have had korero with us leading into this project and to Omāhu Marae iwi for the invitation and welcome at their wharenui Kahukuranui. It was a privilege and we are pleased iwi can be more familiarised with the RDCL team and know what we’re doing out on the whenua.

Thanks also go to Hawke’s Bay Regional Council for working with us on this project, and the facilitation support from Te Ngahere and Uehā Environmental, to help enable these open conversations.

The Harapaki Wind Farm in Hawke’s Bay is New Zealand’s second-largest wind farm, generating 70,000 homes equivalent in electricity. The project was delivered in full, on time, with several positive sustainability outcomes.

We are proud to support our client Meridian Energy in the latest NZ Infrastructure Review, alongside this feature on the project.

RDCL completed several geotechnical risk assessments from 2015 to 2018 for the wind farm, focusing on turbine locations developing a risk matrix for proposed foundation designs.
