Updates for residents and businesses near the One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha Project site.

Oversized structural steel transportation

Over the coming months, trucks will be delivering oversized components of structural steel to the site. These movements will be happening before 7am so that the oversized, wide loads are off the road before the restrictions begin at 7am. Contractors will unload and lift the loads from 7am.

We expect to receive about two oversized deliveries a week. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide specific times due to the susceptibility to work processes and weather conditions, such as priming and painting.

Early morning concrete pours

There are no early morning concrete pours scheduled during the week commencing Monday 18 November.

Steel roof component fabrication and installations

Work to install the roof structure for One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha began in December 2023 and will continue until approximately mid-2025.

Radial trusses, radial diaphragm modules (RDMs), and roof trusses/modules make up much of the steel structure of the stadium’s roof and roof support system.

These large steel structures weigh between 75 to 160 tonnes each. Due to their size, they must be fabricated on-site. Welding and related activities must take place continuously throughout the day, and sometimes into the night.

Once fabricated, the components are then lifted into place by crane. Each lift is a lengthy and complex operation. To safely complete the installation of each component, contractors begin work early in the morning, when weather conditions are most calm. Typically, it takes a full day to complete each lift.

The following crane lifts are coming up:

  • Tuesday 19 November - Oculus roof module #2 (section 3)
  • Wednesday 20 November - Radial truss #36 (of 40)

Once each component is lifted by the crane, it will be welded into place before the crane can be safely withdrawn. This stage takes around 2 to 3 days and nights. Where practical, night work will be limited to welding only, with any associated work scheduled during daylight hours to minimise noise.

Our contractors are required to monitor noise levels and take all practical steps to mitigate impacts on neighbours while ensuring the project is delivered safely. We continue to work with them to review their processes, and to make changes where possible.

Community meetings

We hold quarterly meetings for residents and businesses near the construction site, where we share information about our on-site progress and upcoming works. Our last community meeting was held at the Transitional Cathedral on Monday 23 September. 

These meetings are a chance for us to check in, answer some of your questions, and provide some insight into what to expect over the next three months.

There is no need to RSVP, though if you have questions and cannot make it on the night, please email them to info@tekahaproject.co.nz and we will respond as soon as possible.

Neighbouring residents and businesses will receive a leaflet with information before the next meeting. If you're on our neighbour's email database, you will also receive an email.

How to stay informed

If you’re a neighbouring resident or business, please email info@tekahaproject.co.nz with "Neighbour Subscribe" in the subject line. We will send you updates as we receive confirmation of upcoming concrete pour dates.

This webpage will be regularly updated as information is confirmed.
