New video update as we get ready for the next stage of construction.
Next phase of Te Kaha construction set to begin
Construction on Te Kaha, Canterbury’s multi-use arena, will enter a new phase in the next few weeks as the foundation work wraps up and the installation of structural steel for the grandstands begins.
Te Kaha Project Delivery CEO, David Kennedy, says the $683 million project continues to meet its timeframes and budget, with the major concrete pours expected to be finished next month.

NAWIC Canterbury visits Te Kaha
Late last week 20 members of the Canterbury chapter of the National Association of Women In Construction (NAWIC) had the opportunity to take a tour of the Te Kaha site, and hear a presentation from the BESIX Watpac team about the project and some of the construction methodology.
Weekly site progress photos
If you want to regularly keep track of how the construction of Te Kaha is progressing, we publish weekly site overview images on the News and Announcements page of our website.
There's also a library of all weekly photos in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page.
What to expect over the coming months
The next six months of the Te Kaha project will see the substructure (foundations and underground supports) completed and work begin on the superstructure bowl.
Because of the huge size of the project, the different stages will overlap to streamline the process. That means as one phase of work progresses across the site (working from south to north), the next phase will follow closely behind it.
Q2 2023 - Steel construction of the superstructure will begin by the end of May.
Q3 2023 – Substructure concrete pours are on track to be completed in June. Contractors will begin installing steel columns and tiers in the western stand later in the quarter.
