DOWNER AWARDED CHORUS FIELD SERVICES AGREEMENT
Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today that it had been selected by Chorus Limited for
the 2019 Field Services Agreement. The new two-year-and-nine-month agreement will provide
field services for most of the country from the Waikato to the Lower South Island and will generate
revenue to Downer of approximately $220 million.
The contract includes reactive maintenance and provisioning services, network maintenance
routines, cable locates and build services and will begin on 1 July 2019.
The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said that the agreement would expand
Downer’s delivery of extensive network maintenance and build services in New Zealand.
“Downer has a long term relationship with Chorus and our New Zealand team is the leading
provider of end-to-end technology and communication solutions,” Mr Fenn said.
“This contract doubles our geographic spread and we will work with Chorus on the construction
and maintenance of their network. We look forward to continuing our support of Chorus in the
operation of their open access, national network.”

deployment capability throughout Australia and New Zealand.
