Civil Contractors Awards 2021 by Waimea Weekly Archives

A cycle track built in extreme conditions, a land reclamation project with exceptional environmental controls, and a talented young operations manager were among the outstanding civil construction projects celebrated at the Civil Contractors NZ Nelson Marlborough Awards recently. Around 300 guests attended the ceremony at the Rutherford Nelson Hotel, coming together to applaud the people and companies doing challenging and vital work at the top of the South Island. Fulton Hogan was the big winner on the night, with their Champion/ Salisbury Road Roundabout Upgrade sweeping the Hynds Projects Over $1.5 Million prize and the coveted Hirepool Supreme Award. The compa-

ny’s Renwick and Havelock Watermeter Contract also bagged the Judges Recognition Award. The Champion/Salisbury Road Roundabout Upgrade was completed on behalf of Tasman District Council on a high traffic flow road, which sees in excess of 18,000 vehicles per day. More than 13,500 hours went into the project, which won for its innovative solutions, strong communication, and inclusive community liaison. The Renwick and Havelock Watermeter Contract was established to reduce water waste on behalf of Marlborough District Council, as their area historically used three times as much water per person compared to Nelson. Fulton Hogan installed 1,300 new water meters as part of the project, which won plaudits for stakeholder engagement and data control.

Mike Edridge Contracting Ltd also did well, securing two wins - the Southwater Projects Valued $0 - $50,000 for the design and build of the Bannochburn Fire Pond, a 400m3 self-filling pond to help fight fires and the Total Oil NZ Projects Valued $50,001 - $200,000 for the Wither Hills Reservoir Slope ReProfiling, a 1,300-hour project to improve access to the slope for walkers and cyclists, as well as to make it more stable during earthquakes. Nelmac took the prize for Cable Price Projects Valued $200,001 - $ 750,000 for its work on the Poormans Stream Shared Pathway. This 2.5-metre-wide pathway passes along a stream and through numerous nature reserves in Nelson. Nelmac received the award for maintaining constant communication and cooperation with the public and ecologists throughout the project.

Taylors Contracting Co won the award for Land Dimensions Ltd Projects Valued $750,001 - $1.5 Million for Seafield Terrace Rock Revetment. This project saw the company supply and place 5,000 tonnes of rock armouring for a sea wall in a marine reserve area, which included new outlets, footpaths and pavements. The company was recognised for its tight communication between residents and DOC. Simcox Construction took the Tasman District Council Environmental Award for the Separable Portion 1 – Waikawa Marina project, which involved reclaiming 460 metres of land along The Snout with 4,000 tonnes of rock. The company filled 33,000m3, built timber boardwalks, and dredged the Waikawa stream, with their work exceeding expectations for environmental control. The Health and Safety Pro-

fessionals Innovation Award was won by Nelmac for its work on the Pike29 Memorial Track – a 10.7km cycle and walking trail linking to the Paparoa Track. It took 29,000 hours, including 70 helicopter hours, with teams living and working on site in harsh weather conditions and on difficult terrain. The Nelson City Council Health and Safety Award was presented to Downer NZ. This was for its overall health and safety record across all the projects it submitted for judging. Hynds Pipe Systems Ltd won the Supplier of the Year Vote on the night. And lastly, Nick Webby of Fulton Hogan won the BNZ Young Achiever Award. Ahead of the prize giving, a minute’s silence was held in memory of Denis Chambers, a CCNZ Nelson Marlborough Life Member who recently passed away.

The CCNZ Young Achievers Award forms part of the bi-annual Civil Contractors NZ Nelson Marlborough Branch Awards, which was held recently for Civil Contractors NZ members in the Top of the South region, inviting entrants from their local membership. The award selects and promotes the best practise and excellence in youth creativity.

“We look for staff members that demonstrate a young person’s potential to create and understand regional or national entrepreneurship,” says judge, Bruce Taylor. “We were wanting to recognise the leaders of tomorrow – today. So, we looked at the way they presented themselves and sold themselves at their interview.”
