Additionally, Keir Projects provided design input and constructability advise saving the client time and money.


Keir Projects worked around fluctuating water levels and limited access. These challenges required immediate and innovative solutions.
Keir Projects collaborated closely with Tainui and BBO to redesign the handrail, saving time and cost. They found efficiencies that allowed for the piling of structures to happen without delay and the dedicated structures team to complete the project on time and within budget.
This redesign not only ensured the project’s success but also demonstrated Keir Project’s commitment to delivering quality results while adhering to budgetary constraints.
The Keir Project’s team once again brought diverse expertise to the project. Their collective experience was crucial in addressing the complex challenges encountered, particularly in logistics planning and technical piling.
The team’s skill in efficiently sequencing tasks minimised disruption, while their piling expertise proved invaluable in the challenging conditions. This combination of strategic planning and technical knowledge ensured the project’s successful execution to the highest standards.
The team implemented dewatering measures to control water levels, which was crucial for certain phases of construction, especially when working over and in water. Managing required careful consideration to minimise the impact on other contractors while ensuring safety and accessibility.
The construction of new timber structures was another critical aspect of the project. Keir Project’s expertise ensured these structures were both functional and aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with the environment. Their understanding of practical design helped ensure that all elements could be effectively executed within the given constraints.
Ultimately, the Te wairepo wetland project highlights a successful approach to urban spaces. Through a combination of technical expertise, efficient planning, and a commitment to client collaboration, the Keir Projects team successfully provided access throughout this public space ensuring it will be enjoyed by everyone for many years to come.
