PROJECTS
Brigham Creek Road Upgrade
Now a very busy corridor – the Brigham Creek Road section through Whenuapai leading to Hobsonville remains a tight environment with little room for other road user groups aside from vehicles. This project aims to change that with road widening and insertion of shared paths safe for pedestrians and cyclists. Some additional safety improvements are also planned. As with any project like this in a busy area – space is at a premium and the challenege is to complete all that valuable construction whilst minimising disruption.
Auckland Transport Southwest Urban Maintenance Contract
Auckland’s roading network requires constant renewal maintenance and given it’s size – the region is split into contract areas and the South West Urban area (Managed by Downer NZ) is one of the largest. Given the size, significant resource is required and Parallaxx provides supplementary TMP design support to Downer to maintain productivity in their contractual obligations and keep the network in good shape.
Auckland Transport South Rural Maintenance Contract
Maintaining Auckland’s vast road network requires a partitioned approach – and the South Rural area is compartmentalised into one contract area. The unique challenge of this area is the high speed (and still relatively high volume), narrow, and vast nature of the contract area. From a Traffic Management point of view – a high volume of work is required – necessitating responsive and flexible TMP design and management.
Auckland Transport Safer Schools
Auckland Transport approached them to assist with developing COPTTM compliant temporary solutions to trial methods for slowing traffic around local schools in Auckland. The challenge was understanding the aims of AT and the schools and finding a solution that complied with COPTTM, and could be installed for one day only
Auckland Transport North West Maintenance Contract
Parallaxx’s support for this project focused on working with Fulton Hogan the main contractor to enable road maintenance works in the form of road rehabilitation and sealing operations. Due the nature of a maintenance contract, a high level of responsiveness to enable cyclic maintenance was required.
Auckland System Management
Auckland System Management (ASM) is an alliance between HEB Construction, Fulton Hogan and the Transport Agency to operate and maintain Auckland’s motorway network. The ASM is a new 9 year-contract that follows the Auckland Motorway Alliance (AMA) contract which ended on 30 June 2019. Due to the large amount of maintenance work required Parallaxx were asked to assist with additional Traffic Management Plans – or overflow.
Auckland Rail Electrification
The placement of overhead lines across the full length of Auckland’s rail network required the installation of bridge shields on every overbridge across Auckland to ensure safety of the high voltage lines from public above. 80+ locations with both sides of each bridge requiring multiple visits meant for a significant amount of quick-turnaround TMP design and management.
Auckland Northern Corridor
The final stage of Auckland’s Western Ring Route aiming to connect SH18 with SH1 . This was the first contract of its kind in New Zealand (a ‘Hybrid Alliance’) and Parallaxx were involved from tender time to encourage innovation in the Traffic Management space and ensure the best overall project result.
Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI)
The Eastern Busway 1 portion of the comprehensive AMETI suite of projects involves an upgrade from Panmure Roundabout through to Ti Rakau Drive. A very narrow corridor in some places, some very major intersections, and a tidal-flow bridge all make for a complex and demanding upgrade project requiring detailed staging and coordination and some complex traffic modelling.
