ProjectPapakura to Pukekohe Electrification

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.
