Spanish technology company 6770 SICE is to design the integrated tunnel management system for Waterview Tunnel in Auckland, New Zealand, which is part of the Waterview Connection project. One of the most important infrastructure developments ever to take place in New Zealand, the Waterview Connection will complete a motorway ring route around the city.
The project will be delivered by the Well Connected consortium, comprising local companies Fletcher Construction, Beca Infrastructure and Tonkin & Taylor, along with McConnell Dowell Constructors, Obayashi Corporation and parsons Brinckerhoff. SICE and partners Wilson Tunnelling, Downer EDI Works, Boffa Miskell and Warren and Mahoney, will deliver the mechanical and electrical works for the project.
The US$895 billion project consists of the construction of a 5km highway with three lanes in each direction in the urban area of Auckland, including a fully equipped 2.5km double bore tunnel.
SICE and partners will provide the M&E works the for the tunnel, including lighting, ventilation, fire detection, traffic control, CCTV, automatic incident detection, the control centre and radio communications, together with operation and maintenance for ten years.
The project is expected to be finalised by 2017, completing a key linkage in Auckland’s west ring road.
