PROJECTS
Hunua 4 Watermain
This project is for Section 11 of the Hunua 4 Watermain project. This takes the pipeline from Market Rd through to Burleigh St in the city. Utilising busy, city streets as the route creates many issues involving high traffic volumes, noise in residential areas, access to businesses and residents, as well as very deep shafts that need protecting.
Hingaia Road
Widening of Hingaia road with 2 lane each way and a cycle way and upgrade pedestrian routes. It involved full depth pavement reconstruction of the road. Maintaining access was crucial as it is a main road for the area and there is a school right in the middle of the project area.
Grey Lynn Cycle Improvements
This project was to complete cycle lane and shared path facilities in the Grey Lynn area. There was a major challenge in that the work went along Richmond Road through the township part, where there is high vehicle and pedestrian volumes, as well as numerous store fronts and vehicle parks. We needed to reduce traffic to a single lane full time over a 400m length, including side roads
Grafton Gully Cycleway
The Grafton Gully Cycleway project presented a number of challenges – mainly the tight working spaces adjacent to the motorway and the tunnel under Wellesley Street (it was open trenched). The high traffic volumes through this area required us to maintain traffic flows as much as possible
Ellerslie Noise Wall Upgrades
Widening of the Southern Motorway in Auckland over time has pushed State Highway 1 extremely close to adjacent commercial properties in this very constrained corridor. Improved noise protection was called for and due to the already constrained corridor – construction was a challenge to ensure safe working room, and limited disruption on New Zealand’s busiest road.
East Waikato Network Outcomes Contract
The EWNOC project is the delivery of maintenance works on the East Waikato State Highway network. This involves a lot of resurfacing works, as well as other non-standard maintenance. The work locations vary (urban, high speed rural, Level 1, Level 2, gorges, mountainous, etc) and the timeframes for completing works is typically short
Downtown Infrastructure Development (DIDP)
The DIDP actually describes a suite of projects – encompassing numerous complimentary activities along Auckland’s waterfront. This project might just be one of the most challenging we have ever been involved with – requiring unique solutions, new ideas and significant communication right from tender time. The traffic volumes, coupled with the disruptive work means this project will forever be delicately working in the sweet spot between disruption and productivity.
Dairy Flat Highway Safety Improvements
A dangerous road environment – the intersection of Coatesville Riverhead Highway and Dairy Flat Highway (formerly State Highway 17) is an accident black spot, high speed and tightly constrained. This project aims to completely reshape this high risk space. The challenge is to do so whilst maintaining full existing function during construction – and ensure safety of road users and road workers in the process.
Clevedon Water and Wastewater Network
Network improvements through the Clevedon Area (to and from the Ardmore pump station) are necessary for network growth and resilience. Unfortunately the road network in this area is a series of narrower high speed roads giving little room to accommodate construction concurrent with normal traffic flow.
