A pretty epic bridge installation in an equally epic location 🏗️⛰️

Our team delivered and installed this 18-metre pedestrian bridge for DOC at Mt Sunday Track. Prefabricated in our workshop, transported to site and carefully lifted into place using two of our HGM 13-ton excavators.

Another solid result from the HGM crew 💪

13.5 metres of reach and one seriously cool piece of kit now added to our fleet 💪

We recently put the new long-reach excavator to work at Port Hills Ponds in Christchurch, clearing the pond and making light work of this project!

Watch the video to see it in action, then head to our website to learn more about the project and what this specialist setup can do.

At HGM Construction, we’re incredibly proud of our team — especially when they step up not only on the job site, but for the wider community as well.

One of our crew, Andrew Legge, is a dedicated volunteer firefighter and is taking on the iconic Sky Tower Challenge in Auckland to help raise funds for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. 🧑‍🚒💪

The challenge sees firefighters from around the country climb Auckland’s Sky Tower in full firefighting gear — all for an amazing cause.

HGM is proud to have been engaged by LPC to precast 220 ECOncrete Coastalock units for the reclamation project.

These innovative units are a fantastic alternative to traditional quarried rock, designed not only for durability but also to create habitat within the structures—supporting marine life and enhancing the surrounding ecosystem.

A great step forward for sustainable coastal infrastructure.

Lyttelton Port Company is installing ecologically engineered (eco-engineering) habitat units to encourage marine life at the new reclamation.

Approximately 220 ECOncrete ‘Coastalock’ units will be installed in cluster patterns to create intertidal and subtidal habitat. The first cluster, consisting of twenty-two units, weighing 3.5 tonnes each, have been installed along the eastern side of the reclamation seawall.
