Record night for the Structures team

​We've recently achieved a milestone night shift, with the biggest concrete pour of the project.

In total, 434m³ of concrete was poured to complete a 40m long and 700mm thick
concrete roof slab. This is part of a new underpass that will provide direct motorway-to-motorway connection for drivers travelling south to west from SH1 to SH18.

During the nine-hour night shift, eight trucks were on rotation with the nearby concrete plant, and a team of 27 were on site.  Two trucks poured concrete into the concrete pump concurrently to minimise time between truck changeovers to prevent the concrete from setting before the pour could be completed.

“This was a great achievement for us as a team, involving a wide range of people to help ensure this work was carried out safely and on time,” says Simon Paton, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Principal Project Manager.

A shout out to our all-female team

The Northern Corridor Improvements team proudly boasts higher than usual numbers of women working in construction with females making up more than 20% of the workforce across the alliance by Waka Kotahi, Fulton Hogan, HEB Construction, Jacobs and WSP.

The team building the Rosedale Busway Bridge are an all-female group with over 35 years’ experience between them and have been working on the project since early 2020. Amy is the Project Engineer for the bridge and she has the overall responsibility of controlling costs, ensuring that it’s built to specification and on programme. The team is also made up of Julie as Site Engineer, Brenda who is the surveyor and Oceanna who is nearing completion of her carpentry apprenticeship.

Work on the Rosedale Busway Bridge is progressing well and the team recently celebrated placing the 86th (and final!) super tee beam – well done ladies! The bridge will eventually incorporate the new Rosedale Station as part of the extended Northern Busway.

Planting season begins

Winter marks the start of planting season which extends from May to September when the ground is wet and plants have the best chance to thrive.

The landscapers from two local companies will plant approximately 90 different species and over 350,000 individual plants across the project which includes nine wetland sites as well as general planting within the area. All of the plants we’re using on site are grown from ecosourced regional seeds.

The team have planted close to 20% and so most of the planting will be completed as we move closer to the completion of the project next year.
