Redefining Wastewater Engineering
Transform your wastewater systems with our comprehensive design and construction services. Whether it's modernising existing facilities or developing new, eco-friendly treatment plans, we enhance efficiency while minimising your ecological footprint.
Our wastewater design service covers the full process: site evaluation and soil permeability testing, system type selection, detailed design to AS/NZS1547, and a TP58-compliant report. We also carry out installation inspections and issue PS4 Producer Statements on completion, giving councils the documentation they need to grant Code Compliance.
On-site wastewater design is required for the majority of rural and lifestyle block properties across Northland, particularly in the Far North, Kaipara and Whangarei Districts where reticulated sewerage is unavailable.
Core Engineering is experienced in working with Whangarei District Council, Kaipara District Council, Far North District Council and Northland Regional Council on wastewater consent applications and knows what each council requires for a smooth approval.

Cutting-Edge Technology
We design all common on-site wastewater system types - septic tank with effluent disposal field, aerobic treatment units (ATU), drip irrigation systems, mound systems and constructed wetlands - selecting the appropriate system for your site conditions and council requirements.
Complete Lifecycle Support
From initial design and construction to ongoing operation and maintenance, we offer end-to-end support throughout the entire lifecycle of your Whangarei wastewater systems. Our commitment doesn't end when the project does; it evolves with your evolving needs.
Experienced Team
As part of a multi-discipline team, our wastewater engineers work alongside geotechnical colleagues - which is important on sites where ground conditions, groundwater depth or slope affect system design. One team, fully coordinated from site evaluation to completion sign-off.
