Ohurakura Road, Elliots Bridge

Elliotts Bridge demonstrates how collaboration and innovation can transform infrastructure delivery. Working together, Lattey Group, Fulton Hogan, Hastings District Council, and HEX-LOC^® delivered a resilient solution following Cyclone Gabrielle scour damage. By replacing a complex traditional design with the HEX-LOC^® system, the team reduced construction risk, accelerated delivery, maintained uninterrupted community access, and achieved a more cost-effective outcome.
