The first stage of an extensive development at Orams Marine is complete, marking the culmination of a project years in the making.
The development has been made possible by the efforts of many parties who have worked to bring the project to fruition. From the Orams Marine team, to their partners within Auckland Council and its agencies, as well as marine industry figures; all of whom have played a part in creating a vision for the waterfront over the past decades.
“The location here is unique and you can see the investment that’s gone into it. What has been created here will serve the industry well into the future,” said Orams Marine CEO, Neven Barbour.
The first stage of development has encompassed extensive dredging and construction works before the installation of a 12,000 sqm hardstand, three 90 metre marina piers, a new 820 marine travel lift, as well as a new 85 tonne marine travel lift, and industry-leading water treatment plant.
“Strengthening the sea wall, containing contamination, plus the in-built water treatment plant which sets a new standard in discharge water treatment; the result of this is a best-in-class engineering solution,” Barbour continued.
