Laboratory Technician

The $475M Takitimu North Link Stage 1 project in Tauranga will provide a four lane inter-regional connection between the existing SH2 from near Loop Road, Te Puna in the west, to SH29 Takitimu Drive Toll Road in the east, and includes an on-ramp from Fifteenth Avenue to the SH29 Takitimu Drive Toll Road. The new 6.5km long four-lane highway will bypass Te Puna and Bethlehem townships, improving the efficiency and safety of the strategic network, and will support growth in the Minden area.

This exciting project is the first in the planned improvement of SH2 from Tauranga towards Katikati, and involves challenging geotechnical conditions, significant bridge structures and a focus on environmental and sustainability outcomes. It also has a focus on partnership between Waka Kotahi and local Hapu. It is one of the first New Zealand Upgrade Projects to be brought to construction. HEB Construction is constructing the project in a joint venture with Fulton Hogan, continuing a long and successful partnership on large projects in the Bay of Plenty.
