Otawere Water Storage Reservoir

The Otawere Reservoir project in Waimate North, near Kerikeri, was delivered for Te Tai Tokerau Water Trust as a major investment in regional water security and long-term economic growth. Constructed next to tributaries of the Waitangi River, the scheme comprises a main dam and saddle dam forming a 50-hectare reservoir with a storage capacity of approximately 4 million cubic metres. The project was designed to improve drought resilience, increase water security, and enable higher-value land use across the Mid North...

Atiu Harbour Upgrade

Infrastructure Cook Islands selected MAP Projects in a competitive tender to construct the Government funded Atiu Harbour upgrade. The project involved dredging the Harbour, widening the hardstand into the makatea cliff, and re-constructing the concrete hardstand, slipway and access – giving the island a facility that actually works for the people who use it.

Atiu is remote, and that shapes everything about how we worked there...

Santo Grid Expansion – Vanuatu

The Santo Grid Expansion involved over 550 poles across 45kms on the East Coast Highway (or “Goodwill Highway”) on the island of Santo Espiritu in Vanuatu. This project is another clear demonstration of the MAP commitment of best for project and Relationship Contracting with the work being directly negotiated with the Vanuatu Project Management Unit.

The project was jointly funded by the Asian Development bank and the Vanuatu government as part of the Vanuatu Energy Access Projects initiative, which aims to increase access to renewable energy on Santo from an existing Hydropower plant...

Malekula Transmission Line and Grid Expansion – Vanuatu

The Malekula Transmission Line was awarded as a part of the Vanuatu Brenwe Hydropower Station as there was no infrastructure in place to carry power from the new Brenwe Hydropower station to the existing grid and 9 new villages (populations between 200 and 2500), and MAP were one of the few contractors with the capabilities to complete a quality job.

The project was jointly funded by the Asian Development bank and the Vanuatu government as part of the Vanuatu Energy Access Projects initiative, which aims to increase access to renewable energy on Malekula.

Big shout out to Construction Partner Independent Line Services (ILS) who provided the design effort and the technical skills and training for the Conductor install in this similarly challenging and remote environment...
