Read all the project updates for Manukau bus station.

2017

3 May 2017

The project is progressing well and all parties involved are doing a great job.

Completing most of the important foundation work last month now sees us coming out of the ground. Over the next 2 months the public will see rapid progress in terms of the Manukau Bus Station taking its form.

Getting the roofing material on before the coming winter months will be important so that the interior work can continue in parallel to ongoing civil works outside the buildings footprint.

Construction updates

• The concrete ground beams (shallow building foundations) have been poured over conduits in a grid layout. On top of these a concrete slab will be poured.
• Heavy machinery will be used to pour concrete under the Manukau Institute of Technology canopy and there may be some extra noise during the day.
• Structural steel is currently being delivered in batches and is being installed. The steel will be put in place from the MIT (west) end of the site to the east.
• Installation of trusses (triangular fabricated beams) is ongoing.
• The station roof will be constructed onsite and, like the structural steel, will be installed from the west end to the east, thereby creating sections of the building sheltered from the elements. This will allow interior work to commence in the winter months.
