About CCL

CCL has been involved in civil construction in the Wellington region since 1991.

David Howard and Dayle Scrimshaw came together after operating their individual contracting companies which carried out work predominantly for Hutt City Council.

Construction Contracts Limited started out completing street reconstructions with drainage upgrades and replacements as required. Over time and as Hutt City finished completing their street reconstruction programme we moved more and more into drainage-type work. We were one of the first two or three companies in Wellington to get serious about pipe bursting and we are now well known as experts in this field.

In 2016 Steve Scrimshaw joined us as a third director. Steve worked his way up from our entry level skilled team member role, through to team leader to become a certified drainlayer. He brings a wealth of practical skills and technical expertise and is now dedicating much of his time to the training and development of our site teams and apprentices.

For over three decades our work has predominantly been replacing, renewing and upgrading the water network for local councils, Capacity and now as a lead contractor on one of the a CLG teams for Wellington Water’s Capex Panel. Complementing this we have been involved in projects for other clients – including complex and high-profile works that we are particularly proud of such as the Arras Tunnel, and Transmission Gully.

CCL have also invested heavily into trenchless technologies such as horizontal directional drilling, pipe ramming and pipe bursting as a more environmentally friendly and less disruptive option to open trenching. This compliments our other skills such as electrofusion welding, plant operation, safe excavation and shoring methods and end to end project management.
