Tonkin & Taylor Limited is employee-owned environmental and engineering consultancy company. It is based in Auckland, New Zealand with offices in Australia, Malaysia and the wider Asia Pacific region. Services cover civil, environmental, geotechnical and water resources engineering.
In 1959, Ralph Tonkin established a laboratory testing and engineering consulting company Geotechnics Ltd, with technical input from Professor Peter Taylor of University of Auckland. In 1961, Ralph Tonkin and Don Taylor formed a partnership named Tonkin & Taylor. The partnership was active in many engineering projects in New Zealand and Asia, and founded an office in Malaysia in the 1970s.
In 1981, the partnership was restructured into a limited liability company, which has grown into an employee owned company.
