We love this behind the scenes footage of roadworkers working on State Highway 1 over the Brynderwyn Hills north of Auckland, where we've closed the road to do critical landslip repair work—it gives you a real sense of the scale of the work happening and the amount of action onsite and the people involved. As you can see we’re making the most of the closure with vehicles, equipment, and heaps of dirt across the road where people would normally be driving. This wouldn’t be possible to do without a full closure. See if you can spot the banks that've been cut into the hillside and the darker section on the biggest cut about halfway through the video. This part of the hill has been hydroseeded—we’ll share more about this work next week, and sign up to the newsletter on our website if you'd like to hear more: https://lnkd.in/gN75zQEz Safety always comes first for us. As the video shows, a project of this scale needs large machinery and equipment to manage the amount of earthworks and construction required. This comes with several safety measures to keep everyone onsite safe. We've implemented a 20km/h speed limit for all vehicles, and some sites (such as this one in the video) are driving on the right side of the road only—that's to keep heavy vehicles and their loads away from the edge of areas that've been compromised by past weather events.

Mountainous terrain, like that in Watauga County, sometimes presents unique challenges when building and expanding roadways. Controlled operations like the one on NC 105, complete with short roadblocks, ensure the safety of the traveling public. • #boone #rock #infrastructure #dailyconstruction #excavator #heavyequipment #construction #constructionequipment #heavycivil #earthmoving
