About us

Working with us.

Earth Stability was built around the difficult sites — cliffs, coastal margins and properties where machinery cannot reach and the ground has to be understood before it can be made secure. We take each project from first walk-through to finished reinstatement: ground assessment, design, consents, construction and landscaping, so a site is handed back complete rather than simply repaired.

Access without compromise

Restricted access is our normal working day.

Rope access and abseiling works, man-portable drilling rigs, confined space capability and a purpose-built lightweight barge mean plant and materials reach sites that cannot be reached by conventional means — with minimal disturbance to gardens, driveways and neighbours.

  • Rope access / abseiling repair works
  • Man-portable and excavator-mounted drilling
  • Barge access for coastal sites
  • Emergency response during heavy rain events

Health and safety

Proactive, not procedural.

Earth Stability is proactive in the promotion of strong and consistent health and safety practices and quality workmanship within the industry, and keeps abreast of all industry standards.

  • ISO 45001 Health & Safety
  • ISO 9001 Quality

Environmental responsibility

Sensitive ground, carefully handled.

With the majority of our projects taking place within environmentally sensitive and geologically significant landscapes, we consider our work an important part of protecting New Zealand's coastline and sea wall defences. Earth Stability is ISO 14001 accredited and maintains strict environmentally sensitive policies, techniques and practices for this accreditation.
