What We Do
Engineered for the Realities of New Zealand’s Roads
At WDM, we support those responsible for New Zealand’s road networks to meet the challenges of limited budgets, climate pressures, and increasing safety expectations. We bring clarity to complexity, providing the tools, data and expertise needed to support highways management with confidence and care.
For 30 years, we’ve operated in New Zealand, helping to define road safety standards. From advancing national skid resistance strategy to pioneering world-leading SCRIM® and survey technologies, WDM NZ continues to set the benchmark for intelligent, data-driven road management in New Zealand and beyond.
A Global Partner, Driving Progress Across New Zealand
WDM technologies are trusted in more than 30 countries worldwide—but our focus in New Zealand is distinctly local. We work closely with NZTA, local councils, and infrastructure partners to deliver road data, technology, and insights that reflect the realities of New Zealand’s unique networks, terrain, and climate.
Our role goes beyond data collection. Through active collaboration with research bodies, government agencies, and standards organisations, we contribute to the continuous improvement of national safety policy and road management practice. From pioneering SCRIM® friction measurement to advancing asset management software, WDM’s innovations continue to shape how networks are maintained and made safer across New Zealand.
