Works Infrastructure

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Works Infrastructure Limited is a New Zealand engineering and construction company owned by the Australian Downer EDI company. It was acquired from the former New Zealand Ministry of Works (established as the Public Works Department in 1870 and at the time known as 'Works Civil Construction'), when it was corporatized in 1996.[1]

It is one of New Zealands leading infrastructure companies,[2] and employs around 18,000 people, mostly in New Zealand, but also in Australia, Asia and the Pacific region.

The Accident Compensation Corporation awarded Works Infrastructure Limited the ACC 'ThinkSafe' Workplace Safety Award in 2005 for its workplace safety culture. [2]
