Pakuaratahi Bridge: A Unique Engineering Feat
The Pakuaratahi Bridge was an excellent contender for the awards. Located over the Hutt River deep in the native bush of Kaitoke Regional Park, the bridge features a first-time engineering accomplishment, complying with NZS 4121: 2001 Disabled Access on a fully suspended and inclined deck. When the judges visited the structure, they were astonished by the minimal damage to adjacent trees and vegetation during the bridge’s construction.
Sustainable Construction Techniques
Martin Wilson explained the company’s approach to sustainable construction, stating, “We are quite used to achieving this. Clever use of heli-lifting, minimal excavations, a love for nature, and a simple construction plan all contribute to environmental sustainability.”

Upon the announcement of Abseil Access’s success, Martin Wilson was joined on stage by Charles Loader, General Manager, and Mat Chalker from the construction team to celebrate their accomplishment.
