INVERCARGILL CITY STREETS UPGRADE
The enhancement of two prominent streets, Esk and Don Streets, has transformed our southernmost city successfully creating a dynamic and interconnected environment that encourages individuals to shop, discover, and actively engage in the vibrant life of Invercargill.
TBIG was privileged to work on the Invercargill City Streets project and was involved through the master planning process and then appointed as Project Manager to complete the design and documentation phases, followed by PM and Engineer’s Representative on the construction works.
The project was aspirational, refreshing and transforming the big open spaces that Southlanders valued through a substantial upgrade project that balanced below ground critical services and infrastructure requirements with above ground exciting urban design to create a vibrant and useable urban space.
The transformation of Esk Street included a pedestrian-friendly shared civic area while strengthening Don Street's entertainment focus. Transformational elements included: Three waters infrastructural upgrades and renewals; raingardens to naturally treat runoff; large street furniture elements, bespoke specialist streetlighting, artwork, exploration and discovery elements; provision for CCTV infrastructure.

Te Whare Toroa / Ōhakea Base
The Te Whare Toroa project involves the construction of the infrastructure and facilities for the P8 Poseidon Aircraft at RNZAF Ōhakea. The construction consists of two hangar bays to house the P8 aircraft, maintenance and support facilities, training and simulation facilities including the Poseidon operation and the interface works with the apron and HEF system.
As a substantial infrastructure project, the impartiality and independence brought by TBIG in the Engineer to Contract and Engineer’s Rep roles has been crucial to ensuring that the project remains on programme, and any contract clarifications and resolutions have been resolved fairly and collaboratively.
TBIG’s ETC Lead Charles Brown has taken the lead on this significant two and a half year project as Engineer to Contract in accordance with NZS3910:2013.
The horizontal infrastructure works package covered the construction of a 32,000m2 apron, new car parking facilities, runway construction and upgrades to existing, taxiway and ordinance bay construction including infrastructure. Works included aircraft wash bay facilities, pump house, the vertical building site and pad preparation, bird bath for the assets, all stormwater systems and all associated roads, markings, lighting, and landscaping. Charles also took the lead as Engineer to Contract, leading a team of two Engineer’s Representatives.

Expansion projects - Auckland, Hamilton and Christchurch
Connecting people and technology is at the heart of Datacom’s vision, and the expansion of key data centres at sites across the country absolutely puts customers’ needs at the centre of their business. A specialist project team was put together to deliver the expansion projects, with The Building Intelligence Group as the external Project Manager and Engineer to Contract, working with Beca and Fletcher Construction.
Three highly technical projects were delivered concurrently in three cities: Auckland’s Orbit-2, Hamilton’s Kapua-DF12 and Christchurch’s Gloucester Data Centre. Datacom’s reputation is built on its ability to provide continuous service to its customers, so it was vital that the projects were carried out seamlessly and with no interruption to services. The range of expansion work included internal fitouts, the construction of new data floors, and additional power modules to offer unmatched data storage capabilities.
Having the same team across all three projects ensured the same consistently high standard of delivery while business operations in existing floors could continue unencumbered.

lyttelton port company channel dredging
In a 24/7 operation, the Fairway super dredge lengthened the Lyttelton Port channel by approximately 2.5km and widened it by 20 metres and deepened it by up to two metres. The channel provides Canterbury’s importers and exporters the best possible and most-cost effective international shipping solutions.
Suction pipes moved across the seabed suctioning mud and silt into a hopper with a capacity of 36,000m3. Material was held in the hopper until full and then disposed of at an approved spoil ground located 6km offshore.
Lyttelton Port Company implemented the largest environmental monitoring programme ever undertaken for a New Zealand dredging project. 14 dedicated gauges deployed throughout the harbour and off-shore measured a range of factors including water turbidity, pH and temperature. The project included the installation of nine new marine based navigational aid towers, six land based navigational towers and six new spar buoys throughout the harbour.
