Results
Delivered a permanent retaining solution providing long-term slope stability and property protection.
Enabled progression of the Takitimu North Link Stage 1 expressway without delay to critical path activities.
Completed the works safely while minimising disruption to the public and local businesses.
Project
Solution
Installed permanent soil nails and reinforced shotcrete facing to stabilise the slope and retain ground.
Adopted staged excavation and construction sequencing to ensure stability throughout.
Used noise and dust suppression methods to mitigate community impacts.
Implemented robust traffic management plans to maintain safe road access during works.
Coordinated closely with the expressway delivery team to align construction methods and program interfaces.
Project
Challenges
Integration with the Takitimu North Link Stage 1 expressway programme under the NZ Upgrade Programme.
Constrained work area directly adjacent to a live arterial road with heavy traffic.
Urban setting demanded stringent environmental and community impact management.
Complex ground conditions required adaptable drilling and anchoring techniques.
Tight timelines with works forming a critical path item for the wider expressway delivery.
Project
Overview
As part of the Takitimu North Link Stage 1 Expressway, a major NZ Upgrade Program project, stabilisation works were required on 15th Avenue in Tauranga. To support this corridor, Geovert was engaged to construct a permanent soil nail retaining wall to stabilise the slope and protect adjacent properties while enabling safe progression of road works.
The project required working in a constrained urban setting, adjacent to an active arterial road, while aligning with the broader expressway program’s timelines and delivery milestones.
