The Project involved the redevelopment of Gate A at Go Media Stadium, Mount Smart, addressing historic flooding, ground settlement and accessibility issues within a key arrival and operational area of the stadium. The works covered an area approximately 5,100m² and included upgrades to stormwater infrastructure, internal roads, pedestrian areas, utility services and lighting, together with new retaining structures, fencing, gates, bollards and a new public plaza.The project presented a number of challenges associated with working within an operational stadium, including complex stakeholder requirements, constrained access, existing ground conditions and the need to coordinate works around major events. A key value added to the project was the detailed communication pathways in conjunction with detailed contingency plans (lots of "how do we resolve if x happens" scenario testing), allowed us to quickly react to issues raised before or on event days things were resolved within hours to allow events to proceed unimpacted by the project works area. There were times urgent issues were raised with no construction team on site and still closed within a hour.
