NORTH HEAD ROCK

NORTH HEAD ROCK


MARKET ROAD ROCK WALL

MARKET ROAD ROCK WALL

This mock rock wall is a simple example of how this look can be achieved quickly and effectively.


AUCKLAND ZOO PONDS & WATERFALLS

AUCKLAND ZOO PONDS & WATERFALLS

Various ponds and waterfalls were created for the Auckland Zoo. The use of sculpted concrete alongside natural rock has provided a safe environment for various bird enclosures.


VICTORIA PARK TUNNEL

VICTORIA PARK TUNNEL

Shotcrete is used to provide extra strengthening and waterproofing to the Victoria Park Tunnel leading up to the Auckland Harbour Bridge.


SH20 MANUKAU EXTENSION

SH20 MANUKAU EXTENSION

A vast project calling for our structural reinforcing and shotcrete skills to various finishes. Retaining walls on this project required the installation of megaflow drainage mat, boxing, structural steel reinforcing and shotcrete placement.


DART 2 NEWMARKET

DART 2 NEWMARKET

Retaining Walls to Rail Corridor Khyber Pass
Our work on this project began in March 2009 and was completed March 2010. Our scope of work called for hand excavation to the required profile, placement of core drain followed by installation of reinforcing ready for shotcrete application.


HOBSONVILLE DEVIATION

HOBSONVILLE DEVIATION

Our scope of work for this project was to provide structural steel and off the gun sprayed concrete to the retaining walls supporting the Hobsonville Road bridge running over the new motorway. Top down construction was used on this project which eliminated the need for scaffolding and working at height. Once complete the sprayed concrete will be covered with decorative concrete panels and in some areas a living wall.


SH20 MANUKAU CROSSING - QUEENSTOWN RD

SH20 MANUKAU CROSSING - QUEENSTOWN RD

Our scope of works for this project was to spray concrete into the prepared capping beam extending along one side of the Queenstown Road end of the SH20 Manukau Harbour Crossing.
 


WALMSLEY RD - ROCK WALL

WALMSLEY RD - ROCK WALL

Another interesting project which called for the construction of a mock rock retaining wall on the Walmsley Road off ramp.  At Stage1, strip drainage was put in place and structural steel to previously installed soil nails.


SEA & CITY WHARF REPAIRS

SEA & CITY WHARF REPAIRS

On this project Gunite is sprayed directly onto steel beams supporting the Jellicoe Wharf in Auckland City. Gunite or Dry Mix as it is otherwise known was used instead of shotcrete as it is easier to use in smaller confined spaces, dries faster, can be stopped and started as often as required and is better suited to concrete repairs.


ROSEDALE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT

ROSEDALE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT

Our scope of work for this project was to carry out the underground structural spraying of the 4 metre in diameter tunnel lining. Working at 45mtrs underground presented an array of challenges.


MATAKANA PUBLIC AMENITY BLOCK

MATAKANA PUBLIC AMENITY BLOCK

The proposal to build a public amenity block took the form of a community art project attracting sponsorship from a number of local businesses. Entries were received from all over country including 12 architects.


HURUHURU WATERHOLE

HURUHURU WATERHOLE

On March the 2nd 2006 in order to prevent more drownings, Waitakere City Council carried a motion to raise the bed of the Huruhuru Waterhole. The main contractor built temporary dams and filled the bed to a safer level.


UPPER HARBOUR CORRIDOR

UPPER HARBOUR CORRIDOR

The specifications on this project were to provide structural shotcrete walls between underpass bridges with a final finish to match as closely as possible to the existing crib block walls. Our work involved all boxing, steel reinforcing and shotcrete work with a final stenciled finish for the outer layer.


STATE HIGHWAY 20

STATE HIGHWAY 20

This project allowed us to show the diverse forms of artificial rock that can be achieved using our steel reinforcing and sprayed concrete technique as a solid structural base.


ALBANY LAKES

ALBANY LAKES

This project called for 200ml thick steel reinforced concrete to the spillway embankment. A 400ml layer of rock boulders was placed on top to control water flow and for aesthetic purposes.


WESTFIELD RETAINING WALL

WESTFIELD RETAINING WALL

The design on this project called for a concave wall finish which at times reached 10mtrs in height. All excavation, drainage and steel reinforcing were completed by our experienced team prior to shotcrete spray.


IRONBANK BASEMENT PERIMETER WALLS

IRONBANK BASEMENT PERIMETER WALLS

The engineers called for a water tight four level basement to this fourteen story development. This was accomplished by an initial 50ml F3 screed finish shotcrete layer on which vulclay waterproofing was placed. Structural steel was then placed with a 200ml shotcrete layer with xypex add mixture finishing off with a sponge finish.
