SAN DIEGO, CA, May 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Energy Digital takes a look at Downer New Zealand, a diverse organization that traces its 140-year roots back to the former New Zealand Ministry of Works, under which much of New Zealand's current infrastructure was developed. Established by respected engineer Arnold Fielder Downer in 1933 as Downer & Co., the company has seen various transformations over the years, moving from public to private, and undertaking over thirty mergers and acquisitions in just the last few decades.

For the better part of the 20th century, Downer operated as a construction, civil engineering and facilities maintenance company. However, through several mergers and acquisitions Downer has expanded its portfolio to offer asphalt production, bitumen supply and product manufacturing, quarrying, open space management, design, building and operation of water treatment plants, water services, wind farm construction, building and maintaining railways, and a full range of telecommunications services. The company even provides more obscure services, such as emergency Bailey bridge construction during flood events, possum and rabbit extermination, and a world-class avalanche monitoring and control program.

Downer is now striving to be a role model in efficiency across the board: in safety, business, and the environment.
