We have experts in building design across New Zealand, Australia and the UK and have been part of many landmark and award winning projects. Other areas of expertise include telecommunications where we have an enormous amount of experience in tower design, earthquake engineering where we have been responsible for the seismic upgrade of structures across New Zealand for various clients, marine structures for which we have teams in UK and New Zealand, and the design of structures in extreme environments where we have designed Antarctic facilities at Scott Base. Opus’ civil structures design experience is also significant, having designed many water treatment facilities in New Zealand and UK.
