Building better connections: The Eastern Busway
Discover Yakka's integral role in the development of the Eastern Busway, stages 1, 2, and 3. Our expertise in preparing key sites paved the way for improved public transport in Tāmaki Makaurau.
Laying the groundwork: Our contribution
Yakka was entrusted with critical asbestos removal and the demolition of residential properties across all three stages of the Eastern Busway in Pakuranga, Auckland. This significant undertaking involved managing a total of 85 properties, each requiring meticulous planning and execution as part of separately tendered contracts.
Navigating complexities, delivering results
A highlight of our work was the seamless coordination with ongoing traffic management and the subsequent infrastructural works. Yakka’s unique ability to deploy resources across multiple sites simultaneously was crucial, ensuring that all properties were delivered on time within a constrained programme, a testament to our efficiency and strategic planning.
Auckland's transport transformation
Our foundational work in removing these properties directly contributed to the successful development of the Eastern Busway. This project is set to significantly enhance public transport options for residents of East Auckland, creating a more connected and efficient city for all.
