Papakōwhai Shared Path

JFC was engaged to construct a new shared pathway as part of the Government’s Transport Choices programme, an initiative led by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to support low-emissions, climate-resilient transport options. This project aimed to encourage greater use of walking, cycling, and public transport by delivering safe and accessible infrastructure for active travel. JFC’s innovative approach to using air vacuum for excavation added to the success of the project and further respected the project’s values around the environment. Careful planning and coordination were central to the project’s success, with construction staged to minimise disruption to road users, residents, and local businesses throughout delivery.
