Providing expertise for a large and complex infrastructure asset that requires continual maintenance and renewal
A long history and the earthquake response
Our involvement with Lyttelton Port spans back more than a decade, and has included support across a broad range of business areas, from dredging consents to earthquake repairs. All of LPC’s jetty structures suffered some degree of damage during the Canterbury earthquakes. We worked with LPC and its engineering team to define the scope of works for jetty repairs, including condition surveys and reporting. We have also delivered multiple jetty repair and strengthening projects that included procurement of contractors, development of repair methodologies, and project delivery, including repairs to wharves while they remain operational.
Core members of a high-performing team
We provide continuous support to LPC via several staff members working in LPC’s Project Management Office, a dedicated internal team that provides project support to a range of business requirements. We have been involved in multiple projects across a range of infrastructure disciplines, including pavements, wharves, services, reclamation, dredging, and equipment procurement. All of our work is completed as a tightly integrated team together with LPC staff and external consultants and contractors.
Points of interest
- Lyttelton Port is the South Island’s largest port and container terminal service and New Zealand’s third largest container port.
- The port’s operation is 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, which means that our projects have to be meticulously planned around shipping and other operational requirements that can change rapidly at short notice.
- Our projects at LPC are all completed with reference to the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan, a key post-earthquake document that sets out LPC’s 30-year vision and a streamlined process to ensure that long-term port earthquake recovery and expansion can occur in an efficient and effective manner.
