Downtown Infrastructure Development Project (DIPD)
Enhancement of Quay Street, Lower Albert Bus Interchange, Galway Street and Te Wānanga (Downtown Public Space). Working in conjunction with the Downtown JV, JFC delivered enhancements that will assist in supporting the future growth of Auckland’s waterfront and pedestrian thoroughfare over the next 10 years. The project was delivered across more than 20,000m² of reclaimed land in a complex and densely built urban environment, bordered by the central business district, heritage buildings, the waterfront, and other significant construction activities.
Redefining the morning commute with streamlined inner city infrastructure.
The scope of works consisted of the following:
Site clearance and bulk cut to subgrade level.
Upgrading of existing power, water, and communications infrastructure, including relocation, installation of new services, and future-proofing.
Stormwater system upgrades within a challenging marine environment, requiring careful management of tidal influences, contamination, marine sediment, dewatering, and associated temporary works.
Construction of raingardens and tree pits to support urban greening and water-filtering.
Installation of finished surfaces including concrete and paved footpaths, carriageways, and cycleways.
Installation of new street lighting and traffic signals.
Salvaging and transplanting of nine specimen Pohutukawa trees.
Installation of street furniture and soft landscaping, including the planting of 136 large trees, among them 15 mature 1000L Nikau palms.
