Project
Ravenswood Roading
Region
Christchurch

DO provided comprehensive multidisciplinary services for a significant residential and commercial project in Woodend. Ravenswood development spans 150 hectares with with almost 25 hectares reserved for commercial and light industrial use. Key tenants include New World, McDonald’s, and BP, serving the 1,350-lot residential area and Pegasus-Woodend community.

 

With meticulous planning and construction, we established a network of roads and roundabouts, redefining accessibility and fostering growth. In collaboration with Abley Consultants, we designed a pivotal 30m roundabout on Rangiora-Woodend Road. Its three-sided layout and connection to a right-of-way optimises traffic flow, prioritises safety, and creates shared spaces for vehicles and pedestrians.

 

The innovative double-lane 30m roundabout is customised for B-trains and semi-trailer access. It seamlessly connects State Highway 1 to the bustling commercial area, improving traffic flow and operational efficiency for businesses.

 

These roundabouts not only connect areas within Ravenswood but also serve as a future northbound route for traffic from Rangiora. Once the Woodend bypass on the realigned Northern Motorway is completed, they will become vital bypasses for northbound traffic from Christchurch, ensuring seamless transportation and supporting future development.

 

Comprehensive construction monitoring, including site inspections, contract administration, and meetings, ensured adherence to the project’s scope, delivering outstanding results Stakeholder consultation played a pivotal role, modifying access arrangements based on invaluable community input and managing variations during construction to accommodate a shared cycleway while meeting project timelines.

 

Overcoming challenging geotechnical conditions required rigorous testing and regular site inspections, upholding the highest standards of pavement design and construction quality. This transformative project at Ravenswood reflects our dedication to enhancing connectivity, fostering community growth, and improving residents’ and businesses’ quality of life. We’re proud to shape this vibrant development.
