Completed in conjunction with Smith Crane & Construction, we assembled and erected a 96T tower crane onsite in Kaitoke Regional Park. 

Required as part of our work constructing the Kaitoke Flume Bridge, in which we are constructing a new, more resilient bridge to ensure the safe supply of drinking water for the Wellington region. 

BPC and Smith Crane & Construction installed the Favco M860D luffing tower crane for the works, which is the largest tower crane owned in NZ. It was assembled with 22m of tower, and 64m of luffing boom. It has the capacity to lift 96t at 10m radius, 32t at 32m radius, and 11t at 62.5m radius. Some of the significant lifts it will be undertaking while at Kaitoke include lifting a 8t piling rig at a 60m radius to the other side of the river, installing the 30t bridge steelwork, and removal of the old concrete bridge sections during demolition.
