As part of the western ring route suite of projects the construction and traffic staging had to be developed to work in unison with the staging of the 2 existing projects Lincoln Road upgrade and the causeway upgrade. This involved upgrading the intersection and realignment of all ramps. Additional complexity was added when the Te Atatu Road corridor improvements project started
This project involves another new roundabout construction on a State Highway. This time at the intersection of SH1 and SH15 south of Whangarei. SH1 still carries high volumes of traffic, particularly heavy vehicles and we must maintain two way traffic flow at all times. High speeds and space constraints are the major challenges on this project
Growth in and around Glen Innes in East Auckland meant that the existing power supply was being put under pressure, and increased capacity was required. Large trenches through bustling urban areas and through major intersection meant timing and clever TMP design were crucial.
The northern end of the site is a popular route for cyclist with main cycles routes from the south and east passing through this area, so it was important to maintain safe access and warning of the works to cyclists.
Construction methodology involved deep long trenches often on low volume roads. Clients preference was for the use of barriers however due to road constraints, these were often not able to be installed compliantly, posing additional risk to workers, as well as reducing the amount of work space affecting their productivity.
A complex project to add a supplementary footbridge over State Highway 1 on the Northern Motorway in Auckland. This project requires significant construction adjacent to and over one of New Zealand’s busiest motorways. All whilst ensuring minimal disruption and retained function of the major motorway interchange that the project is dissecting. The end result will be a fantastic and safe shared use facility however not before the challenges of construction through a fully functioning motorway itnerchange are fully overcome.
Parallaxx needed to provide expert Traffic Management knowledge to allow work to happen safely and efficiently around some of the busiest Auckland CBD Intersections. Parallaxx were part of the successful tender team and saw the project through to completion with a number of challenges around working space, traffic volumes and maintenance of property access along the way.
Auckland’s CBD development over recent years (and continuing) means a higher demand on the electricity network and not unexpectedly, upgrade work is occurring in parallel to ensure supply can meet demand and network resilience is appropriate. A major component of that was the upgrade of the 22kV line running the full length of Nelson St. Obviously this is an extremely busy corridor meaning a high degree of planning and coordination was necessary to even break ground.
The Flat Bush area of Auckland is an extremely fast-developing suburb with some older roads needing extensive work to ensure appropriate capacity and safety. Murphys Road is one of those and major culvert widening, road widening and service relocation are necessary to extend this corridor to accommodate the growth. With an existing high-speed narrow carriageway, and an already very developed suburb, space is at a premium and numerous local schools present unique traffic flow challenges.
Safety improvement project to construct a roundabout at the intersection of SH16 and Muriwai Road at Waimouku (northwest of Auckland). There were significant working space constraints due to the nature of the intersection and the placement of the new roundabout. We needed to maintain all legs of the intersection and there is a large volume of peak traffic using SH16 and Muriwai Rd at this location. There was also a school on Muriwai Rd within 100m of the intersection and heavy pedestrian numbers before and after school hours
