MCL transport was required to project manage the transport of the 144 concrete bridge beams with delivery of all 144 beams to occur over a 12-week period.

Mass Construction Nz Limited is part of the NCTIR alliance and has been responsible for rebuilding and repairing several bridges damaged in the quake. These included the seven-span Irongate Bridge and six debris flow bridges (three road and three rail), Bridge 908 south of Ward, and the 480-metre rail bridge across the Clarence River.

Construction of the new bridges required 144 concrete bridge beams. Because of the time and supply constraints of the project, most of these beams were manufactured in the North Island – the majority – about 80 percent – from plants in Rotorua, Hastings, Christchurch and HEB’s plant in Mount Maunganui.
