Taharoa! Again!
Sep 2023
We recently obtained an intriguing set of data from our system over the past few days.
The data highlights safety concerns along Taharoa Road in the Waitomo District of the North Island, New Zealand. These concerns primarily revolve around the quality of the road and, more critically, the safety of the bridges, especially for heavy vehicles such as trucks. Notably, the data indicates a concentration of these concerns towards the latter part of Taharoa Road, particularly in the vicinity of the mine area.
It's worth noting that we previously completed a project addressing issues with the Taharoa Fish bypass system in January 2020

Just double checking the bridge hasn’t moved!
Sep 2023
Here is a recent project regarding Te Piringa Bridge (Oakley Creek)
We are requesting the bridge be checked. Not especially because the expansion joint rubbers have sunk slightly but that all the walkways below the bridge are closed because of slips and the change in the rubber joints might possible be unexpected movement in the bridge.
