Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure, one of Australia’s leading water, road, rail, bridge, underground, energy and remediation contractors (www.abergeldie.com) purchased the equipment and business of Harker Underground Construction Limited and renamed it Abergeldie Harker Limited on 01 March 2017.

The Central Interceptor will run for 13 kilometres from Western Springs to a new pump station at the Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant. It will be Auckland’s largest wastewater tunnel at 4.5 metres diameter and the biggest wastewater project ever to be undertaken in New Zealand.
