Fulton Hogan

Fulton Hogan have a wide range of services to fit your needs in surfacing, construction, asset management, laboratories, transport and traffic management.  Well established across Timaru District and South Canterbury, Fulton Hogan contributes strongly to the region’s community and economy.

At Fulton Hogan we’re proud of our close involvement with South Canterbury’s pioneering NZQA-approved Certificate in Commercial Road Transport (Heavy Vehicle Operator) course, preparing young people for the transport and logistics industry. It’s also been our pleasure to donate a driving simulator for driver training and work experience for students. The innovation and passion shown by everyone involved in getting the course off the ground has been infectious – and together we’re showing the rest of the country what can be achieved with vision and hard work.

We’re also proud to have worked with Timaru District Council in a New Zealand-first. The province that was home to the first heavier-than-air flight is also home to the first road sealed with EmulSure®.  EmulSure® is a brand-new means of sealing that was developed in the Fulton Hogan Canterbury lab followed by field trials in South Canterbury.

Because EmulSure® is applied at much lower temperatures than normal (typically 80°C versus 150°C), it is much safer for those applying it. It also enables sealing to be done in colder temperatures than normal, increasing the length of the ‘sealing season’.

EmulSure® is also proving to be superior in terms of durability.

“Our trials with different bitumen products in Timaru have exceeded expectations, with results showing a reduction in chip loss and therefore less need for future remedial work,” Fulton Hogan’s Surfacing Industries Manager Thomas McGeever says.

The initial trials were done on the intersection of Seadown and Dominion Roads. Over the past 12 months we’ve laid around 450 tonnes of EmulSure® in sites between Temuka and Waimate. Following the success in South Canterbury we expanded the trials to several other sites, including Waikato and Dunedin before launching EmulSure® nationally in July 2020.
