Wellington Regional Event

Evan's Bay Cycle Way and Seawall Installation Tour – Wellington

The New Zealand Coastal Society invite you to join a site visit to the concrete block sea wall that's being constructed at Evan's Bay adjacent to the cycle way. The sea wall is being constructed using Redi-Rocks, a new concrete block solution for geotechnical and coastal projects.

Date:Thursday, 9 May
Time:3 - 5PM
Venue:Evan's Bay Seawall. 
461 Evans Bay Parade,
Wellington.

This sea wall is being constructed by Downer using Redi-Rocks, a new concrete block solution for geotechnical and coastal projects. You will not see the rocks being placed while you are there due to the restrictions, however you will be able to see the partially built wall and progress to date. You will have a chance to discuss the design and construction with the Downer and Duracrete team. I'm sure we'll all learn lots and it's an opportunity to get together for a local New Zealand Coastal Society event before the winter.

Meeting Point: 461 Evan's Bay Parade for pre-site briefing at 3pm.

Transportation: We will arrange transport to the site of the sea wall at 96-100 Evan's Bay Parade where we will have a tour before walking to NIWA for a cuppa and some refreshments.

Event Details:

PPE: Please bring your own PPE, requirements are as follows:

  • Hard hat
