RDA CONSULTING CONFERENCE 2021
We held our inaugural Company Conference in Queenstown on 29th September and 1st October 2021. It was a good opportunity to get everyone together and the first day was spent learning about the company's strategy and vision, team culture and growth /branding. Hayden Paddon joined us as a surprise guest speaker and gave us insight into his world of rally driving, his team and his brand. After the serious stuff, the team met for a few drinks and dinner to unwind, mentally preparing for Friday's team activity. Friday dawned a beautiful day and we headed to the Queenstown Gardens for Frisbee Golf. We split into teams of 3 and took on the challenge of Frisbee Golf and a couple of quizzes, a lot of fun and laughs with Ollie, Tom and Shaun taking out the competition. The Conference was a great success and everyone is looking forward to next year!

HOW BIG? This is one of our larger ponds to date, (although not the biggest!). A recent project completed for a Client in Dacre. Their existing dairy effluent pond was well past its’ use by date and more storage was required to meet current best-practice guidelines. Our design re-used part of the existing pond, replacing some embankments to increase the size, with a new HDPE liner and leak detection system fitted. The refurbished pond measures 86m x 40m and has a storage volume of more than 7 million litres, plenty of capacity to give our Client flexibility to manage their effluent according to best practice. The team at Wilson Contracting did an excellent job of the construction works.
