Expertise and Leadership
Under the leadership of David Mitchell, our CEO and Head Engineer, Bungy New Zealand Ventures approaches each project with a foundation of industry-leading expertise. David’s qualifications in civil and structural engineering, complemented by an MBA, position him to lead a team that emphasises both innovation and safety. To maintain the highest standards, we collaborate with select industry partners, including:
- BECA Structural Engineering: A premier engineering firm in the Asia-Pacific, BECA brings tailored structural solutions that address the unique challenges of extreme activity sites.
- Holmes Solutions: Specialising in mechanical engineering and safety systems for adventure tourism, Holmes Solutions enhances our capacity to deliver secure, mechanically sound experiences.
The Design and Compliance Process
In the early stages of a project, we provide high-level concept sketches as part of the venture viability report. These preliminary designs give clients an overview and set the groundwork for further development in the detailed design phase. Compliance with international safety standards is at the core of our process, enabling us to offer realistic projections of establishment and operating costs. Safety remains our highest priority, with each design engineered to meet stringent safety requirements while enhancing the user experience.
Collaboration Across Activity Types
While our core focus is on high-adrenaline experiences, we also support a range of activities beyond hard adventure, such as family-friendly or “soft adventure” activities. For experiences like mountain biking and hiking, we partner with specialised operators within our network. This allows us to ensure that these activities, which require a different design emphasis, are thoughtfully developed with considerations for track layout and foundational groundwork instead of extensive structural elements.
A Commitment to Quality and Safety
We recognise that adventure tourism experiences often involve a higher initial investment in terms of establishment and operational costs. However, this commitment is essential for creating extraordinary customer experiences underpinned by robust safety measures. Our approach integrates internal structural and mechanical engineering expertise with trusted external partnerships, ensuring that every project meets high standards of safety, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
By continually applying advanced engineering and design principles, Bungy New Zealand Ventures is proud to lead in adventure tourism innovation, setting new standards for safety and exhilaration in every experience we create.
