Tauranga City Council upgraded the Dive Crescent carpark as part of their plans to revitalise the City Centre and transform the waterfront in this area, provides approx. 129 public car parks. The works included stormwater collection / power reticulation for lighting and interface with concurrent watermain works.

The project provided challenges due to the level of discovery and associated design changes required to address issues identified during the implementation of the works.

TSA Riley provided the role of Engineer to the Contract (NZS 3910) and working closely with the project team to resolve issues as these arise.

KiwiRail is undertaking a programme of upgrades to their mechanical facilities throughout New Zealand, used by the Rolling Stock Asset Services (RSAS) business unit to maintain and service KiwiRail’s rolling stock fleets. Improving the mechanical facilities will maximise the benefits of new rolling stock procurement programmes with more standardised fleets, while providing RSAS with fit for purpose mechanical facilities to maintain and service current and future rolling stock fleets. Integral to this will be the provision of buildings compliant with building code and regulation.

TSA Riley has been providing project management services on the Mount Maunganui Depot Improvement Project, where the scope encompasses the replacement of the existing locomotive servicing facility with a new purpose-built servicing that will act as a one-stop shop where RSAS can safely carry out their full locomotive servicing checks and repairs.

TSA Riley is providing project management services to KiwiRail relating to the extension of the electrification of over 19km of existing track from Papakura to Pukekohe Station. These works form part of the New Zealand Upgrade programme. They will extend overhead electrification along the alignment, upgrade the existing track and signalling systems, construct platforms for three new intermediate stations at Drury Central, Drury South and Paerata, and redevelop the existing Pukekohe Station. Once complete, the project will enable electric trains to run between Central Auckland and Pukekohe – allowing faster quieter, and more environmentally friendly rail connections to link the greater Auckland area.

TSA Riley began working on the project in March 2020, initially supporting KiwiRail in bringing the physical works contract to market, set up as a design & build contract with Early Contractor Involvement (ECI). We have since been awarded contract management roles on the Pukekohe to Papakura Electrification project, acting as the Engineer to Contract, Engineer’s Representative and Engineer’s Representative Assistant under a NZS3916 contract.

The Beehive is the iconic home for the Executive Wing of the New Zealand Parliament. As a result, it is popular tourist destination and with growing visitor numbers, it became increasingly important to have appropriate access and security measures. For this reason, a reconfiguration of the entrance foyer was required, which included seismic upgrades to accommodate the changes. The challenge was to promote an open, welcoming environment for visitors by creating a sense of arrival and excitement while upgrading the existing security system to the necessary standards. TSA Riley delivered an enticing space that efficiently manages high volumes of people within the strict economic guidelines.

The success of the project was founded throughout the project life cycle by prompt decision-making and effective communication, which resulted in a project that was delivered on time and provided economic value. The project also achieved a Gold Award in the Civic category at the New Zealand Commercial Project Awards 2018.
