CCNZ Awards 2026 finalist $20M-100M projects

BPC is proud that the Seaview Wharf Energy Resilience Project we delivered for CentrePort Ltd has been recognised as a finalist in Category 4 of the 2026 Civil Contractors New Zealand Hirepool Construction Excellence Awards.

As the sole fuel import facility for the lower North Island, Seaview Wharf is a critical regional asset. The project upgraded the wharf to modern seismic and climate-resilience standards, accommodating larger vessels, and extending asset life—all while operating within a live fuel terminal in a constrained harbour environment.

Managing simultaneous phases of complex construction in a live port environment required close collaboration with CentrePort, designer Holmes, and fuel industry operatives. This collaboration led to the development of a framework, the Matrix of Permitted Operations, that enabled high-risk marine construction to proceed safely alongside active ship berthing and significantly enhanced the project’s productivity and risk management.

As the project was delivered within an environmentally sensitive setting, BPC embedded environmental leadership into every stage of delivery, implementing enhanced controls for underwater noise, sediment, and water quality. Measures such as marine mammal observation and industry-leading noise mitigation were delivered with zero environmental incidents, setting new benchmarks for marine construction practice.

Congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this critical infrastructure project!
