Cardno is the recognised leader in providing engineering services to the urban development sector and the community. We have developed a long and respected professional history that is demonstrated through major residential, waterfront, rural, commercial and industrial developments. The company has maintained many long-term client associations arising from a dedication to quality of service and technical excellence.

The Cardno team has established a reputation for providing engineering solutions through creativity, results-orientated innovation, financial strength, business integrity and the continuing development of its employees’ skills.

Cardno recognises that urban development has progressed from providing roads, drainage, sewer and water reticulation to the development of planned communities incorporating enhanced streetscapes, designated commercial areas, large recreational facilities including parklands and water features with the aim of a better quality of life product.

Cardno provides a full spectrum of consulting engineering services enabling the company to integrate community design needs with traditional civil engineering services.

Our experience in environmental and hydraulic appraisal means that engineering solutions, whether they are lakes or the retention of natural drainage paths, can be incorporated within the overall design concept to optimise the opportunities offered by the site.
