Overview

Te Whau Pathway will link the Waitemata and Manukau Harbours via a shared path designed to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. Modelling predicts over 600 pedestrians and 300 cyclists will use the path each day when it is complete.

Te Whau Pathway is a 15km long shared path connecting the Waitematā and Manukau Harbours. To date $9million has been spent to complete 3.9km pathway at Archibald, Ken Maunder, Olympic Park, McLeod Park, Roberts Field and Tiroroa Reserve. The funding for these sections has been provided through project partners, Whau Coastal Walkway Environmental Trust, Auckland Transport, Whau and Henderson-Massey Local Boards, Auckland Council.

The remaining projects for Te Whau Pathway was put on hold due to suspension of growth funding after the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020. Crown Infrastructure Partners (CIP) agreed to fund $35million as part of the ‘shovel ready’ initiative.

The project includes 4kms of a 4m wide boardwalk and/or bridges for two sections referred to as Section 2 (Olympic Park to Ken Maunder Park) and Section 5 (Laurieston Park to North Western Cycleway) in the Te Whau Pathway map. The shared path is safe and almost entirely segregated from vehicular traffic.

Considering the complexity of the project and time constraints under the CIP funding agreement, early contractor involvement during the design process is critical. The successful contractor will be required to review the suitability of fibre reinforced polymer plastic (FRP) or similar technology against traditional timber piles and boards for this project. If the use of FRP is suitable, the contractor would need to evaluate it against more conventional methods of construction for elevated boardwalks in marine and estuarine environments.

We require the following:
1. An experienced contractor in the marine construction environment capable of providing design and constructability advice via “Early Contractor Involvement”
2. An experienced contractor in the marine construction with experience working and delivering a large construction project in a collaborative environment.
