VINCI awarded contract for the Penlink
project in north Auckland, New Zealand
- Conception and construction of a
new 7km road, including New Zealand first extradosed1 bridge
- Contract worth NZD 510 million
(€305 million)
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have appointed
HEB Construction, a VINCI Construction subsidiary based in New
Zealand, as part of the consortium formed with Fulton Hogan,
Aurecon, Tonkin + Taylor, for the design and construction of the
Penlink project in north Auckland. The Penlink project will provide
a vital connection in the region that will provide better, safer
and more reliable transport options. The contract is an “Alliance”
type, creating an integrated team including the
designer-constructor consortium and Waka Kotahi.
The NZD 510 million (€305 million) project will
include the construction of a 7km two-lane highway with a separate
shared path for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as six bridges,
including New Zealand’s first extradosed bridge.
The design and construction chosen methodologies
will allow a reduction of up to 20% of carbon emissions compared to
a traditional design. A lowered entrance to the 550m extradosed
bridge will better fit with the landscape and enable 235m to be
trimmed off the overall crossing, reducing the amount of steel and
concrete required. The crossing was designed with a reduced number
of piers in the Wēiti River from three to two to reduce the
environmental impact.
The alliance has worked on improving the
recycling of construction materials, utilising renewable energy
sources, and harvesting rainwater.
The Penlink design was also developed to protect
a wide range of flora and fauna through preliminary investigations
and continuous environment monitoring will be carried on until
completion in late 2026.

1 An extradosed bridge is a hybrid between balanced cantilever
post tensioned box guider and a cable stay bridge. The bridge deck
support is provided from both internal post tensioning strands
within the box girder and external cables resulting in an overall
more efficient design for medium to long span bridges.
