- Traversing the mighty Waikato, the Waikato River Bridge is not only an engineering marvel in its own right but also an ecologically sensitive design that is responsive to the surrounding environment.
A collaboration between HEB Construction, Hamilton City Council and the New Zealand Government, the bridge and surrounding transport network will serve as a key connection into Peacocke from Hillcrest and the eastern suburbs.
The four lane bridge, including dedicated bus lanes, spans 96m over the Waikato River and 180m in total length. The single Y-shaped pillar on the south bank and absence of piers in the river result in a design outcome that is ecologically sensitive on the native long-tailed bats and the surrounding environment, both during construction and when it is operational.
Check out all of the progress in the Timelapse below!
It would have been nice to see the finished product. Oh well.
This is just a progress timelapse, hopefully soon we'll be able to show the final result!
Continuous photographic coverage of construction site is a useful tool during and even after project completion. It can help improve processes by identifying problems early. Cameras can show who, where, when, and what was done. Time Lapse and Still can be integrated into other Building Information Management Systems.
Well said!
Construction timelapses are pretty neat in general.
Accept for the mother country that is! 🇬🇧
Going off at a complete tangent, all of the cranes and other heavy equipment in this clip are all powered by diesel. Machines like that, operating in this kind of environment, will never ever be battery electric. For several reasons. To suggest otherwise is to completely deny reality. For several reasons.
You should see the size of electric mining equipment.

Only in New Zealand would it take more than two years to complete a short bridge. 😂🤣
To be frank though this is quite a technically impressive bridge construction, two years would be about right in most countries outside of East Asia for something this complex.
In germany it would take three to only get the permission.
Canada can do it in 3 years...
Yeah bc you wouldn't want those pesky little earthquakes to ruin your day
At least it got finished the British government can’t compete 200 miles of railway 😢
what camera?
looked really good , but i wish the timelapse speed was a bit slower .
Slow the play down in " settings " on bottom of video .
Slower and the rest of the footage please...
what time lapse camera you are using?
We use our own custom designed timelapse construction cameras
made of steel?
I think it was iron so will need regular painting…
Too fast..too short..
It's a lot of work to condense into a couple of minutes! To watch it slower you can customise the playback speed in settings
