NZ engineering and design consultants announce merger

Two New Zealand owned professional engineering consultancies are merging today.

The New Zealand-owned professional engineering and design consultancy, Harrison Grierson, is merging with traffic and transportation engineering specialists, T2.

This is the first merger in Harrison Grierson’s 131-year history and is a significant milestone for both companies, says Managing Director, Glen Cornelius. ‘Much thought and effort has gone into the merger and both our organisations are excited about the new opportunities it will create and the expanded services for all clients,’ he said.

Harrison Grierson employs over 300 people in six offices across New Zealand. Its four key market sectors are Land and Buildings, Water and the Environment, Utilities and Transport.

T2 services include transportation planning studies, transport assessments, economic analyses, detailed design, safety studies and assessment, policy development and transportation research. T2 director, Pravin Dayaram, said the merger built on the success of both companies and would enable the team to take on larger projects in Auckland and across New Zealand.

The new business, called HGT2, will continue to operate from T2’s current Auckland CBD premises, with minimal change to personnel roles and responsibilities.

In January, Harrison Grierson and T2 were jointly appointed to the new Traffic and Transportation Engineering Professional Services panel for Auckland Transport.
