Through Early Contractor Involvement, we reworked the construction sequence, eliminating unnecessary piling and excavation, leading to $500k in cost savings. Mid-project, CFA piling was introduced to address unstable ground conditions, preventing delays.
Despite a compressed schedule and severe weather, the underpass was installed ahead of programme. The project was delivered without safety incidents, meeting KiwiRail’s stringent operational requirements while maintaining full compliance with environmental and stakeholder commitments.
