KiwiRail Selects Three Partners for Cost-Effective Marsden Point Rail Link Design Sprint
2 hours ago | 49 viewsMinister for Rail Winston Peters has welcomed KiwiRail's identification of three potential construction partners—Acciona, Downer/HEB joint venture, and Martinus Rail—to conduct a design sprint for a cost-effective Marsden Point Rail Link. This 19-kilometre railway is deemed essential for Northport, a key port for New Zealand’s export future, and aims to provide a more accurate and lower-cost estimate than previous government allocations. The companies will refine designs focusing on reducing earthworks, optimizing construction, and exploring various technical options to enable confident government funding decisions.

4 days ago | 109 viewsThe Government has awarded a contract to HEB Construction to begin the detailed design phase of the SH2 Waikare Gorge realignment project, which will shift the highway away from the vulnerable gorge section and include a new 260-meter single-span truss bridge. Early works and geotechnical investigations are underway, with main construction expected to start after design, consenting, and property acquisition are completed, and the project is anticipated to take up to four years and cost between $350 and $425 million. This realignment aims to improve resilience following damage from Cyclone Gabrielle, maintaining traffic flow with minimal disruption by constructing the new route away from the existing highway.
