Wishing the Hawkes Bay Māori Rugby – Te Matau a Māui team the best of luck for the coming days!
Firstly for today’s chance at the Sir Eruera Tirikatene Challenge Shield played as part of the tounament. "The near-equivalent Māori rugby version of the Ranfurly Shield" (as quoted by Doug Laing) is within Hawke’s Bay’s grasp for the first time in more than two decades.
Secondly for the Te Upoko o Te Ika Invitational quadrangular in Upper Hutt this weekend – there are some great challenges laid down for this team!
As proud sponsors of Te Matau a Māui Rugby over the last 3 years, RDCL have been privileged to be part of this dynamic kaupapa.
We value the community that we work in and the courageous nature of this team, a spirit which aligns with several of our core values as an organisation.

Te Matau a Māui vs Te Upoko o te Ika (Wellington) Live:https://maxstream.sportlitetv.com/rugby.php
As New Zealanders we couldn’t have been prouder to attend the Anzcham – Australian-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines Members Meeting, where we met the recently appointed NZ Ambassador, Dr. Catherine McIntosh.
We also heard from Trade Commissioner Cecilia Shand about the many varied ways kiwis are excelling offshore and how New Zealand businesses can connect, promote and engage further in the Philippines.
RDCL was also honoured to receive a special mention from Cecilia, referencing RDCL as another quality New Zealand business operating successfully for many years and contributing significantly to the Philippines economy.
It was also so great to meet new friends and reconnect with those we’ve known for 20+ years, including our old friend and Cam’s great mentor Dave King.
In addition to an informative evening, we were treated to this video (thanks to New Zealand Story), which reminded us how proud we are to be kiwis.

In the latest Philippine Resources Journal we look at how project managers can break through Geotechnical complexity through Failure Mode Analyses.
Learn how you can identify sources of failure before they happen, and ensure a rigorous process is undertaken that saves you time, money, and significantly lowers risk.
We’ve attached the article here and here’s the full magazine for those who wish to have a read (our article on pg 46 – 48): issuu.com/brimblepublishing/docs/2024_prj_issue_2_2024_digital/48?ff&experiment=previewReDaderTes…
For projects in the Philippines, New Zealand and other parts of APAC, RDCL are skilled in the use of Failure Mode Analyses, particularly for the assessment of dam structures and significant projects where unforeseen ground presents the greatest risk in terms of cost and time.

Thanks for sharing RDCL!
Kaye and Eriko from our Philippines team were in Tagaytay last week, attending MinECon2024.
It was fantastic to join in the conference and network with colleagues and stakeholders.
This year’s focus was "Innovating for Impact: Harnessing Technology and Expertise for Mining Advancement in the Philippines." An important topic which is about integrating technology and knowledge to drive sustainable growth and development in the mining industry.
RDCL is proud to have worked in Asia for over 15 years, including assessing geotechnical implications for leading gold mines across the Philippines.
We enjoy helping our partners to use ground expertise to build resilience and restoration for mining sites and their communities.
Thank you to the Philippine Society of Mining Engineers for a forward-thinking event.

Last week Tony Valentine, our Senior Geotechnical Engineer, presented at the Waka Kotahi Bridge & Geotechnical Conference on ways to optimise ground investigations using Geophysics.
It was fantastic to hear from Waka Kotahi and industry experts on recovery, building resilience in the network and building back more efficiently.
In our experience, following the emergency response to Cyclone Gabrielle, near-surface Geophysics and 3D modelling enabled a more targeted approach which saved time and money.
If you missed Tony’s presentation and would like to know more, contact us at our Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Wellington, or Manila offices – or reach out via this post!
As Geophysics specialists we are here to demystify the process and bring the ground expertise to your project.
