Structures
Whether stabilizing terrain, supporting infrastructure, or reinforcing foundations, we build with integrity, efficiency, and a commitment to long-term performance.
We’re well known for moving dirt, and there is nothing wrong with that, but there’s significantly more to our Group.
Our projects have taken us into all facets of construction, and we have expanded our understanding and resources along the way to meet the varied needs of our Clients. This includes complex structural and civil construction. If it has been part of our client’s wider scope, chances are, we have incorporated it all into our engineering journey somewhere along the way. Whether it is retaining walls, shafts and shoring, pump stations and water reservoirs, complex foundations, bridges, and piling, windfarm infrastructure, outlet structures, bridges, installation of mechanical or electrical components and cables we’ve done it all. Our mantra is, if we can add value by widening our scope, we will. With several tertiary qualified and experienced structural practitioners on staff we can provide a solution to any problem including a design build alternative if required.
Walls
Engineered for stability and longevity, we are capable of constructing various retaining options including Keystone, Allan Block, mass block, timber, and geocell walls.

The project team raised risks ahead of time and provided solutions and costs/impacts for client review.
Many lessons were learned on Harapaki, and the site team learned quickly and invested heavily into ensuring everyone onsite got home safely and without serious injury.
Following the devastating impact of Cyclone Gabrielle, our rural roads in Dartmoor were left heavily damaged and impassable, cutting off vital access for residents, farmers, and emergency services. From the outset, the Hicks team stepped in with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care for our community. The Hicks team has worked tirelessly to stabilise slips, and rebuild key sections of the Dartmoor road network. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and they consistently went the extra mile to minimise disruption to local residents. The quality of the repair work has been outstanding – built not just to restore, but to better withstand future events. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and expertise. Their efforts have been instrumental in helping Dartmoor recover and reconnect after such a difficult time. The Dartmoor Community recently invited the Hicks team to a Community BBQ in appreciation for their hard work, dedication, long hours and the respect and care they have shown to our community throughout the recovery process. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any future infrastructure projects. “
Contact Energy culture is to work collaboratively with our contractors while also trusting that they are the experts. Hick Bros fitted this mould very well and we appreciated their ability and enthusiasm to put forward new ideas to optimise the project delivery and outcome.
“[HBRC] were super impressed with our efforts to protect wetlands, RAPs and EIA. They said nobody else goes to this level of thought and effort and to see it across such a large & challenging work area was exceptional.”
Working within Contact Energy’s safety rules and standards, as there was some operational plant around the site, was an increase in safety requirements to what I would say the industry standards are. Hicks were very obliging to adapt to these requirements and had no hesitation bringing in the systems or equipment required to do so.
