Rail Infrastructure

This vital infrastructure upgrade has seen the installation of 853 mast structures, an impressive 129,802 metres of overhead electric lines, 30 new track structures, and 10 new platforms to date.

When complete, this project will significantly improve the reliability and frequency of trains across Auckland.

"Undertaking major infrastructure upgrades, whilst keeping the line open for freight trains, Te Huia and the Northern Explorer, has taken complex planning and hard work and we’re proud of the work our team has accomplished."

David Gordon, KiwiRail Chief Asset Development Officer

How WT HAVE SUPPORTED the Papakura to Pukekohe Electrification Project

WT were engaged to manage the overall Papakura to Pukekohe programme of projects from November 2023 to the present, with the responsibility of ensuring that all major milestones were successfully met. This comprehensive programme included a variety of critical projects, such as the installation and upgrading of overhead line equipment, track infrastructure, signal systems, the development of Pukekohe Station, and the integration and assurance of these assets.

In addition, WT took on the role of project manager for the handover and completion of Pukekohe Station assets, which involved coordinating and overseeing the finalisation of key elements like the station itself, the stabling yard, and the operators’ facility.

Moreover, WT was responsible for managing a diverse range of minor capital works, both within and beyond the rail corridor, ensuring the successful delivery of these projects alongside the larger undertakings within the Papakura to Pukekohe programme.
