“Having the crane greatly reduces our reliance on the existing pipe bridge, which is an important benefit for Wellington Water. “This essentially provides a ‘skyhook’ across the full site and is broken down to small, light sections to access the site,” Ian says. Construction equipment selection was critical due to weight restrictions on the park’s bridges and the limited track width along the narrow, windy access to the site.Įngineering Manager Ian Pringle says BPC elected to install one of New Zealand’s largest luffing tower cranes to the side of a cliff. BPC’s bold thinking is enabling the Kaitoke Pipe Bridge to be delivered for Wellington Water on a particularly challenging site in the Kaitoke Regional Park.
