The SH2 Melling transport improvements will be completed by the delivery alliance of AECOM and Fletcher Construction on behalf of NZ Transport Agency.
An alliance is a different way of working together, compared to traditional construction contracts. It is a collaborative team made up of NZTA staff alongside design and construction companies. Together they work to deliver the project and achieve the best outcomes for the community.
Alliances are increasingly used to deliver complex and challenging design and construction of major infrastructure, especially where the risks are unpredictable and are best managed collectively.
In this environment there are also opportunities for joint problem solving and innovation, often resulting in more affordable and efficient delivery of projects.
We have a good track record of working alongside more than 40 alliances on projects including:
The delivery alliance will complete the grade separated interchange on SH2 at Melling and bridge over Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River, and a relocated Melling train station, among other improvements.
There will be components of Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi that the delivery alliance will deliver on behalf of NZTA, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Hutt City Council, such as where the bridge, stopbanks, and local roads all meet.
Some other components of the programme will be delivered by the respective programme partners.
