Driven piling for strong, fast, and reliable foundations
At Webb Contracting, we understand that every building project starts with a solid foundation. Our driven piling services use a high-capacity, excavator-mounted rig capable of installing piles up to 15 metres in length. This technology allows us to deliver robust piling services for builders, developers, and homeowners, even on sites with restricted access, steep slopes, or confined spaces.
Choosing driven piles means you benefit from:
- Quick installation, reducing time on site
- Minimal ground disturbance, preserving your property’s surroundings
- High load-bearing strength, ideal for house foundations, commercial buildings, retaining wall supports, and infrastructure projects
Our team works closely with project engineers and clients to ensure every pile is installed to the correct depth and alignment, meeting all compliance requirements. This attention to detail means your project gets off to the best possible start, with peace of mind that your foundations are built to last.

Drilled piling for challenging ground and engineered projects
When ground conditions are more complex or your project demands deeper, non-vibratory solutions, our drilled piling services are the answer. Webb Contracting can install drilled piles up to 20 metres deep, making us the go-to specialists for projects on soft, sensitive, or mixed soils.
Drilled piling is perfect for:
- Sites near existing buildings or services where vibration must be minimised
- Heavily engineered structures requiring precise geotechnical solutions
- Projects with specific soil or load requirements
Our skilled team uses advanced drilling equipment to ensure each pile is placed accurately, whatever the ground conditions. We liaise with engineers and consultants to tailor every solution to your site, giving you confidence in the stability and durability of your structure.
Engineered retaining walls for critical and large-scale projects
For projects demanding greater structural performance, we provide engineered retaining walls designed to withstand significant loads and support major developments. Our expertise covers everything from subdivision cut platforms to roading and hillside construction, using materials such as heavy-duty timber, concrete blocks, and pole-and-pile walls.
With engineered retaining walls, you receive:
- Custom solutions tailored to your site’s geotechnical and structural needs
- Walls installed with correct anchoring and drainage for long-term performance
- Full compliance with all council and building code requirements
We collaborate with geotechnical and structural engineers to ensure every wall is designed and built to the highest standards. This means you can trust your retaining solution to provide lasting stability, even on the most demanding sites.
Integrated piling and retaining for seamless project delivery
Many construction projects require both robust foundations and effective slope stabilisation. Webb Contracting offers integrated piling services and retaining wall construction in-house, streamlining your project from start to finish. This combined approach delivers:
- Proper coordination between piling and wall construction
- Reduced costs and minimised site delays
- Simplified compliance and council approval processes
By managing both aspects under one roof, we keep your project running smoothly, ensuring every stage aligns perfectly for a hassle-free experience.
Quality, safety, and compliance you can rely on

Technical expertise and collaborative project management
Our team brings decades of experience and a flexible fleet of high-performing machinery to every job. We pride ourselves on clear communication with builders, engineers, and project managers, keeping timelines and budgets on track. From the initial consultation to the final sign-off, you’ll always know where your project stands and what to expect next.
We’re used to tackling tight access, steep terrain, and complex site challenges, making us Northland’s trusted choice for piling and retaining wall construction.
We can work with your existing engineer plans, or recommend trusted local engineers if you need design support. Once a design is in place, we handle everything from materials to final construction.
While our focus is on structural integrity, we can offer aesthetic choices such as exposed or stained timber, concrete block textures, or integrated landscaping-friendly designs to suit your site and preferences.
In most cases, yes — especially for walls over 1.5 metres or those supporting structures or driveways. We can guide you through the consent process and ensure all work is done to meet council and building code requirements.
All our retaining wall constructions include integrated drainage solutions — typically using scoria backfill, drainage pipework, and weep holes — to relieve water pressure and extend the life of the wall.
Retaining wall construction for stable, attractive landscapes
Whether you’re managing a change in elevation, supporting a driveway, or defining a property boundary, our retaining wall construction services have you covered. Webb Contracting specialises in timber retaining wall construction for residential, commercial, and subdivision developments. Timber is a cost-effective, durable choice that blends naturally into landscaping while providing essential slope stabilisation.
Our timber retaining walls offer:
- Effective management of minor slope changes and soil retention
- Built-in drainage to prevent water pressure build-up and ensure long-term stability
- Compliance with best-practice standards and engineering specifications where required
By choosing our team, you benefit from practical advice on design, materials, and future maintenance, ensuring your retaining wall not only looks good but performs reliably for years to come.
