| 17 West Coast Regional Council - Fulton Hogan: Greymouth Flood Protection The Greymouth flood scheme is being spearheaded by a formal joint committee. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Darryl says that these projects represent a significant investment in the region’s resilience and long-term prosperity and that with climate change potentially increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events proactive measures are essential to safeguard communities and critical infrastructure along the West Coast. One such critical local company responsible for helping safeguarding the West Coast’s critical infrastructure is Fulton Hogan’s Greymouth branch, which holds the NZTA Waka Kotahi highway maintenance contract for the West Coast Region and, along with general maintenance activities. “Building resilience into the state highway network is key to support the region’s economy,” says branch manager Nik Davy. “SH6 runs the length of the area and is prone to closures from slips, rock falls, flooding and crashes. The West Coast and Westland has a challenging geographical environment and there are few connections to neighbouring regions making a resilient network vital.” Nik says local subcontractors form an important part of Fulton Hogan’s wider team. “We work with predominantly locals as it not only supports their businesses and the local economy but locals are truly passionate about delivering great outcomes for the region.” PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEST COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL 027 4310 461 OR 03 755 8448 admin@henryadams.co.nz The largest civil construction and maintenance company in the Buller District PROUDLY SERVING THE BULLER FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS! • Site Works Including Carparks & Driveways • Civil Construction • Underground Services • Back Country & Remote Construction Projects • Grader Hire • Septic Tank Cleaning • Crushed Metal Supply & Cartage • Roading • Car Parks • Driveways • Local & Highway Road Maintenance WestReef 100% owns and operates a modern fleet of plant and equipment.
