LDE is a consulting firm specialising in geotechnical, civil and structural engineering, geology, and environmental sciences, including land and water contamination. Our geophysics capability bridges the gap between our engineering consulting teams and ground investigation, service location, and CPT drilling expertise.
Operating across 11 branches throughout the central and upper North Island, LDE employs approximately 133 staff, including 17 Chartered Professional Engineers (CPEng). This scale allows us to effectively resource projects and respond to diverse client needs while maintaining strong local relationships.
Guided by our kaupapa of Titiro, Whakarongo, Kōrero (look, listen, then speak), we take a holistic approach to problem-solving. We focus on understanding the ‘why’ behind client challenges, not just the ‘how’. By being present in our communities, we build trust, strengthen connections, and deliver solutions that reflect local needs and aspirations.
We work across the commercial, community, industrial, infrastructure, residential, and rural sectors, drawing on decades of combined experience to deliver practical, well-considered outcomes. Our commitment to quality and safety is reflected in our SiteWise Gold and Tōtika accreditations.
Our project history spans a wide range of engagements, from foundation site investigations through to significant infrastructure programmes. This experience reflects our steady growth over the past two decades and our ability to deliver increasingly complex and high-value work for our clients.
