Hobsonville Point Road is a vital component of the development of the former airbase at Hobsonville. The Hobsonville Land Company engaged MSC as the head consultant for the Western Avenue stage of the project.
As rapid development of Hobsonville Point progresses, a key aspect of the success of the development is the establishment of Hobsonville Point Road. This is the main spine road linking the peninsula to the nearby motorway network.
MSC was lead consultant in providing project management and engineering design and construction supervision services.
The Western Avenue section of road includes a major signalised intersection and a high degree of urban design and landscaping. The road is between two and four lanes in cross section with cycle lane and parking provisions. MSC was responsible for all highway geometrics, stormwater design (including flood mitigation), traffic signal design, signing, white lining and pavement design.
The scheme required diversion of existing services and the provision of new services, all of which was coordinated and managed by MSC.
As well as the design of the roading scheme, MSC engineers were responsible for consenting of the project, preparation of tender documentation, specification, issuing and evaluating tenders and supervising the $5m construction contract.
This section of Hobsonville Point Road serves the new secondary school which is being delivered by a Public-Private Partnership (PPP). A requirement of our engagement was to deliver power, water and communication services to the school against a very tight timetable.
