International No-Dig Auckland 2026 is proud to welcome Watercare Services Limited as an official Industry Partner, strengthening the event’s connection with Auckland’s water and wastewater infrastructure sector.
Taking place on 28–29 October 2026 at the New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland, International No-Dig Auckland will bring together the global trenchless technology community to explore the innovations and approaches shaping the future of underground infrastructure.
Watercare’s partnership comes at a significant time for Auckland’s water infrastructure sector, with the organisation undertaking the largest infrastructure investment programme in its history.
Mike Marsden, General Manager – Capital Delivery at Watercare, said the scale of the programme makes collaboration across the industry more important than ever.
“With a $15.2 billion, 10-year pipeline of more than 1,000 projects ahead of us, Watercare is set to deliver the largest infrastructure investment programme in our history,” Marsden said.
“As we respond to the challenges of growth, affordability, climate resilience and ageing infrastructure, innovation and collaboration across the sector have never been more important.
“By sharing knowledge, embracing new technologies and strengthening partnerships, we can deliver better outcomes for our customers and the resilient water and wastewater infrastructure Auckland will rely on for generations to come.”
Prime Creative Media Head of Marketing – Events Molly Hancock said Watercare’s involvement reflects the importance of bringing asset owners and infrastructure leaders into conversations around the future of trenchless delivery.
“Watercare is at the centre of one of the most significant periods of infrastructure investment Auckland has seen, and its involvement adds real value to the conversations taking place at International No-Dig Auckland,” Hancock said.
“With such a substantial pipeline of work ahead, the industry needs to be talking openly about how we can deliver infrastructure more efficiently, sustainably and with less disruption.
“International No-Dig provides a platform for those conversations, connecting the people responsible for planning and delivering infrastructure with the technologies and expertise that can help them meet these challenges.”
The partnership adds to a growing group of organisations supporting International No-Dig Auckland, including Auckland Council, Engineering New Zealand, Veolia, Selwyn Water and Water New Zealand, reinforcing the event’s role as a meeting point for New Zealand’s water and underground infrastructure communities.
International No-Dig Auckland will feature technical presentations, international industry expertise and opportunities to connect with contractors, engineers, asset owners and technology providers from across the trenchless sector.
International No-Dig Auckland 2026 will be held on 28–29 October at the New Zealand International Convention Centre.
