Genesis Power Limited (trading as “Genesis Energy”) has started the Huntly “e3p project” (385MW CCGT plant) at Huntly Power Station. As part of the Huntly e3p project, Genesis Energy are required to supply the contractor Mitsubishi Corporation with a heavy haulage route suitable to transport overweight and oversize components from the Port of Auckland to Huntly Power Station, some 100 km south of Auckland. Genesis Energy engaged Connell Wagner to provide engineering consultancy services to9 assist with identifying and upgrading the route. The chosen route follows the Transit New Zealand designated heavy haulage route through urban Auckland to State Highway 1 (SH1) and then to Huntly. This project includes crossing 35 structures, 27 of which require upgrading or temporary bridging or bypassing in some form or another.
