Inspiring future engineers

BPC’s Peacocke Pump Station team enjoyed hosting a group of civil engineering students from Wintec Te Pūkenga’s Hamilton Campus and giving them hands-on site experience.

After a site induction, the students were taken on a tour and heard from engineers about the project and their roles in delivering it.

The team was a hit with the students, with one of the lecturers describing the day as “the best site visit in the Waikato ever”.

“It was so inspiring for the students to see and hear from engineers working on the ground in construction and certainly help them to visualise themselves in similar positions a few years from now,” he said. “You certainly set a high standard for site visits.”
