Underground telecom, civil works, and everything between them.
From a single fibre splice to a full civil dig for a multi-site build — we run both the technical and the earthworks side of the job, so nothing gets stuck waiting on a second contractor.

The work, in motion
Three disciplines, one crew.
Splicing, pulling cable, and breaking ground — this is what a Novatech job actually looks like on site.
A look at the actual conditions our crew works in — open trenches, directional bores, and live fibre terminations.

Since April 2015
Field crew first. Contractor second.
Novatech Ltd has been working underground and on-site across the Manawatū and Whanganui regions since 2015 — as a subcontractor delivering Chorus fibre network builds for Downer and Ventia, and directly for local businesses and homeowners.
We're not just a telecom crew that calls someone else in for the digging. We run the excavation, the drilling, and the splicing ourselves — fully equipped, one point of contact, start to finish.
