As the major civil works contractor for Project Electron at NZ Steel’s Glenbrook plant, we’re building the foundations and concrete structures to support a new electric arc furnace.
The two major structures are an 18m-tall precast electrical building and a 70m-long raised in situ concrete conveyor with a 1800mm-thick, 800m3 single-pour raft slab. Both are being constructed within the confines of the existing steel plant, which means we’re operating in a very congested site in close proximity to other contractors.
Our early contractor involvement (ECI) and building information modelling (BIM) teams worked closely with the project design team to finalise detailing for the electrical building and an associated water treatment reservoir we are constructing outside the steel plant.
Because of our self-performing capabilities and strong subcontractor relationships, we were able to resource up for this large-scale job at short notice. We’re running a team of about 100 in two shifts to expedite progress, and we’re on track for completion to schedule in August 2025.
