Gorge Road, Maungaturoto
This was a slip stabilisation package for Kaipara District Council consisting of four different retaining walls, including a major slip along Bickerstaff Road. The main challenge was excavating the moving material that kept slipping in on the job, as well as maintaining the regular traffic flow.

Construction of a new rock wall sea defence along Te Maika Road, including pedestrian access to the beach and a boat and kayak ramp. The idea was to improve safety for residents, tourists and the local school children, whose playground is the beach.
