Our challenge
The new ferry wharf at Hobsonville Point was built by Auckland Transport as part of an upgrade to the existing wharf area. At 70m long, the wharf is constructed almost entirely of structural laminated timber with extensive detailing performed off site to enable efficient construction on site.
The wharf is fully covered and features seating and a multi-level pontoon for people to board. Designed to enable access for the disabled, the pontoon is also future proofed to accommodate larger vessels as the area grows. The wharf also features a viewing platform with an illuminated Virginia King sculpture and panels depicting historic and modern-day imagery of the area.
The Techlam solution
We collaborated with the architect, engineer and client to ensure the components were delivered on time with the desired result achieved. Tight timeframes and a high level of accuracy were achieved to the satisfaction of all involved.
