You could not get away with crossing water like this now
Our Mission:
"Clearwater Crossings provide a safe, cost effective and environmentally friendly service, with a commitment to bring quality that leads to customer satisfaction”
It's been a problem for a while, you need to graze your stock on both sides of a stream and the cow race is much further around than as the crow flies.
You've been forced to fence off from your stock, to be compliant with clear water and the clean green image (see Dairying Accord - Streams this page).
Clearwater Crossings Ltd aren't just bridge builders, they build NZ bridges with a difference, offering an ecologically friendly, Class 1, using a patented bridging system which is aesthetically pleasing and covers all requirements regarding land use consents. This crossing concept offers a wide range of sizes meeting your various stream widths at the stream water level and does not interfere with the stream bed or alter the flow in any way, which in turn encourages aquatic life to stay or migrate to your stream or river, and the installation causes little impact on the existing site. All this is what we stand for.
It's time to take stock, literally!
Get over it! Not through it!

NZ Bridges With A Difference
Why a Clearwater Crossing?
Culverts = increased velocity = turbulence + scouring = total devastasion
Culverts become giant water blasters in a flood, carving your land away

Having a culvert to carry water under a road may seem like a solution but how effective is it?
When it floods, a culvert becomes a giant water blaster that simply fires water at the banks on the down side of the culvert ie culverts=increased velocity=turbulence + scouring=total devastation and over a short amount of time, erodes land away, your land!
And if the power of the water during a flood is too great, what we don’t see is the penetration of the surrounding culvert wall, with a huge force that blows all the dirt and fill that surrounds the culvert, making it unstable for heavier vehicles, and thus presenting an unpredictable risk or hazard.
Clearwater Crossings Limited have got a permanent solution to this all too familiar problem. Clearwater Crossings have a patented bridging system that is not only very efficient in times of high water, but is installed with a minimum of disturbance to its surrounding land and is also very friendly to the ecosystem that exists in any natural water system. But with all that, Clearwater Crossings bridges are cost effective.
Clearwater Crossings manufacture and install bridges that are very attractive, very strong and have a class 1 rating. Clear Water Crossings bridges are made to last for a very long time, and will in fact be a safe witness to many a flood to come.

Meet Steve
As a boy I often begged Dad to let me go to work with him when he could, who was an earth moving contractor at the time,
With this experience I learned the beauty and power of water.
I also spent many hours in the machine workshop learning to weld and create things from steel.
I was schooled in Kamo and Whangarei and often in the school holidays I would go on building sites with my Uncles in Auckland to help them, which was another great interest to me.
After leaving High school I went to work for a small engineering company and shortly after that I returned to earth moving with Dad.
I was called back up North to start my carpentry apprenticeship and after completing my apprenticeship, I had a short break then went back to earth moving.
I met my wife Helen and got married and had my first son Matthew who is now the manager of our engineering firm Parahaki Engineering 2008 LTD, which Helen, Matt and I bought, and then Simon our second son chased his dream to become a personal fitness trainer. I went back to building around this time working my way up, eventually forming my own building company, which still exists today with a Master Builder status. with our family's learned consideration for animals and environment, this has a major influence in how our bridge installation should be approached.
With Kelly Wright already a business premises landlord of mine ( now my Clearwater Crossing partner), a friendship soon developed and as time went by we got to talk quite frequently about our ideas of a venture and so Clearwater Crossings was born.
Now with this awareness of nature, we consider this in our approach to the construction of our Clearwater Crossings ie, we build nz bridges with a difference, which have a low impact on the environment and ecology encouraging wildlife habitat.
Today, with Master Builder Skills combined with both Earth Work and Engineering Skills the construction of our quality Clearwater Crossings is possible. Carpentry, engineering and earth works are all the perfect skills for the job.

Testimonials
Clearwater Crossings recently installed a 4.6 metre bridge of their design on our property at Kauri.
The site chosen had to minimize damage to the environment, as well as blend aesthetically with the surrounding landscape.
From start to finish, the construction of the bridge was carried out in a very professional manner, despite inclement weather at times.
Communication between CCL management and customer was excellent.The end result; a bridge to be proud of and a very satisfied customer.
