sh25a taparahi remedial slip
State Highway 25A Taparahi between Kōpū and Hikuai suffered significant damage with the road collapsing after the North Island’s major storm event in late January 2023, Cyclone Hale. During the Auckland Anniversary weekend storm event, a large section of the highway at the summit collapsed and slipped away.
The underslip deteriorated further after the devastation of Cyclone Gabrielle. A bridge was confirmed as the best option to fix the damaged section of SH25A and was selected as it would reconnect the Coromandel Peninsula communities quicker.
Approached to work with McConnell Dowell again, after the success of the Eastland Port Wharf Upgrade, and to have the opportunity to also work alongside main contractor Fulton Hogan on such a significant project after a devastating weather event was eagerly undertaken by Pacific Steelfixing Limited crews.
