Wharf Construction
The Koniambo Nickel Wharf was a significant project for Smithbridge, as it marked the success of another large scale wharf project. The project showcases Smithbridge's abilities in wharf construction, and also experience on intercultural projects. The €36 million job was completed in August 2010.
Bridge Construction
In 2000, Smithbridge Group (then operating as McConnell Smith) completed the NZ$22m acclaimed Otira Viaduct. The bridge was constructed along the fault line running centrally down the South Island, therefore required something of an engineering feat to ensure its stability in inevitable tectonic movement. The bridge was widely commended in New Zealand, and received the Caltex Construction Award in 2000. The bridge demonstrates Smithbridge’s unique abilities to work in technically difficult circumstances, unpredictable climatic conditions and environmentally sensitive areas.
