We’re excited to be taking the lead in autonomous mowing.

CORDE is introducing new mower technology, helping our teams work safer, smarter, and more sustainably out in the field.

Alongside the mowers, we’ve invested in a purpose-built transport setup with storage for tools to support the rollout.

Big thanks to Colbrook Industries and RC Mowers USA for your support in helping bring this technology to New Zealand.

We've been busy with something a little different.

As part of our Rolleston West Trunk Main project, we spent a lot of time working close to a local preschool and we know it has been disruptive at times so when we found out they'd love some swings, we got to work. We couldn't have done it without some incredible support:

🪵 Probuild — for donating the timber
🔨 Curle Construction — for bringing it all to life (honestly, how good does it look?)
🌱 Intelligro — for sorting the soft fall

To the team at Blossoms Educare, thank you for your patience. You've had a lot of work happening on your doorstep over the past year.

And to the kids, thanks for keeping such a close eye on us while we worked. We hope you enjoy every minute on those new swings.

What an incredible morning at the 2026 CORDE Selwyn Kids Triathlon! We were there cheering on the 650 tamariki giving it everything they had. We're so proud to support this event and the Selwyn community that makes it possible. Well done to the team at the Selwyn Sports Trust for putting on such a fantastic morning.

Thanks to the team at West Rolleston Primary School for your patience throughout the year as we’ve worked nearby installing a new water main. We’re so glad we could help create more play space for the kids! 💚

A wonderful 🎄 gift from Corde to our school community. This three day project to remove the dirt mounds was funded by Corde 💚
