HEX-LOC® is proud to present Tararua District Council and Tararua Alliance with an award for their outstanding contribution to a complex roading dropout and slip repair project.
This recognition from Concrete NZ – Excellence in Innovation at the NZ Concrete Construction Awards – honours a collaborative effort between:
- Fred Waiker, Inventor of HEX-LOC®
- Tararua Alliance – Council Infrastructure Management.
- Lattey Group Ltd – Project Contractor
- Deco Precasters – Block Manufacturer
The judges praised EcoReef® for its ingenuity, describing it as a transformative product that addresses a real-world infrastructure challenge. Designed for rapid installation and long-term durability, HEX-LOC® stands out as a home-grown New Zealand solution with national significance.
We’d also like to extend our thanks to Tararua Alliance for hosting us, and to local iwi Rangitāne o Tamaki nui-a-Rua and Kahungunu ki Tāmaki-nui-a-Rua for supporting the project.
This award is a testament to what can be achieved when innovation, collaboration, and community come together.
