Steve has just completed another piece of work in assisting MainRoads Western Australia in re-structuring their road maintenance contracts. In conjunction with Vital Asset Management Ltd, and following on from earlier work, Steve has organised some collaboration between MainRoads and the NZTA, sharing some learnings from the Network Outcomes Contracts (NOCs). It is looking promising that MainRoads will adopt some of the NZTA’s principles and concepts, and Resolve Group looks forward to assisting MainRoads further into 2017.

Ben is currently providing support to the NZ Transport Agency as Acting Maintenance Contract Manager – Auckland Harbour Bridge.  This role is quite broad and includes being the Agency’s representative on the Auckland Harbour Bridge Alliance as well as being the Agency lead on the proposed SkyPath project.

A lot of the work undertaken on the Auckland Harbour Bridge goes unseen by the general public.  Some projects that are currently planned, or are underway, include:

• Regular coatings maintenance and renewal;
• Landscaping improvements to the Te Onewa Pa Reserve;
• Researching and trialling alternative surfacing systems for the Box Girder Extensions (Clip-ons);
• Numerous structural assessments and improvements; and
• Upgrade of the streetlights.
