Infrastructure engagement

What better way to learn about what BPC is delivering for CentrePort than from a ferry on Wellington harbour. As part of our sponsorship of this year’s Wellington region Girls in Infrastructure event, we gave senior secondary school students an uninterrupted view of BPC’s work on the Cook Strait Ferry Replacement Programme along with the daily operations at the port.

We’re proud to support Girls in Infrastructure events, promoting awareness of the wide range of career opportunities in the infrastructure industry to students in year 12 and 13.

As well as the ferry ride, the girls had the opportunity to interact with heavy machinery and construction technology, chat to education providers, and meet people working across the industry. Operating our remote-controlled trench compactor proved particularly popular.
