Skyline changes - while you were sleeping

You may have noticed big changes over Tī Rākau Drive in Pakūranga during the first week of February. That’s when eight large concrete beams were installed over three nights to form the span of Rā Hihi (flyover) above the road. The logistics to place the beams safely and accurately required months of careful preparation and a sizeable team of specialists and equipment to ensure every part of the complex sequence went smoothly. 

New Zealand’s largest mobile crane lifting the spans ran on 100% hydrogenated vegetable oil instead of diesel for this work, reducing its carbon emissions by 70%.

The “before” and “after” images were taken by photographer Nigel King. In the video button under the photos you can see the work that took place while you were sleeping.
