Channel Deepening Project, Lyttelton

Client:

Lyttelton Port Company

Project Value:

$50 million

To keep pace with international shipping trends for larger, deeper vessels, LPC proposed to deepen and lengthen the existing Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupo shipping channel.  The deepening involved the removal of several million tonnes of material from the channel in two stages.

The project also included the upgrade and replacement of the existing navigational aids, and the installation of a new AIS system.

Our role included the production of estimates and post-contract cost management.
