VINCI Construction
selected to build
major new motorway connection in Auckland, New Zealand
-
Design-build of a major new motorway connection
in New Zealand's economic capital, Auckland
-
Project with a value of $700 million New Zealand
dollars (around €415 million)
VINCI Construction subsidiary HEB
Construction, has been chosen as part of an alliance
contract[1] to build
the Northern Corridor Improvements Project (NCI Project).
With a total value of $700 million New-Zealand dollars
(around €415 million), the contract aims at creating a new
connection north of Auckland between the Northern Motorway (State
Highway 1) and Upper Harbour Highway (State Highway 18), as well as
extending the Northern Busway to Albany and add more than 7
kilometres of new walking and cycling paths.
The NCI Project Alliance comprises
the New Zealand Transport Agency, HEB Construction, Fulton Hogan,
Opus and Jacobs.
The project is an important link
in helping to realize the full benefits of the Western Ring Route
by giving users an alternative route to State Highway 1 and the
Auckland Harbour Bridge. It will also create better travel
choices for walkers, cyclists and users of public transport.
The Alliance is now tasked with
finalising the detailed design and beginning construction early
this year. The project will be undertaken in stages over the next
four years. The first steps towards construction will include
road resurfacing and the installation of moveable median
barriers.
The Alliance has started
recruiting for more than 150 new roles including surveyors,
engineers, safety advisors, machine operators, drainlayers,
carpenters and general construction field staff.
Since VINCI finalized the
acquisition of HEB Construction in June 2015, the company worked in
New-Zealand as a member of The North Canterbury Transport
Infrastructure Recovery Alliance (NCTIR) on reconstruction
following the earthquake that struck the Kaikoura region in
November 2016.
HEB Construction is also working on the Nga Puna Wai sports centre
and on several marine works projects: Centreport container quay
repair, Port Otago quay extension and Port of Lyttelton terminal
construction.
