Home : SH1 | Kaikoura
The SH1 project has become an iconic post Covid development, admired by many a driver heading north of Christchurch. Set to the backdrop of the ocean, and the Kaikoura mountain ranges the various forms have made a big impact!
During covid our daily business was disrupted and we had to pivot and adapt to change quickly. We got the opportunity to collaborate with Fane Robinson on the new SH1 highway reconstruction project. It was a project of a scale and application we were less familiar with, but we have never been one to shy away from a challenge!
We gathered a team together, purchased new vapour blasting technology and took on the 7 month project working with Waka Kotahi to enhance the new highway. Along with the vapour blasted designs in the concrete walls, we utlised our expertise in steel, and wood fabrication to add to the lay by areas and sites adjacent to the coast.
This was a large project, pushing our skills to the limits and stretching us to deliver some stunning art work. Vapour blasting was a new application for us but has already lead to a number of opportunities across the country
