The engineer and the maintainer speak about Transmission Gully – the game changer for Kāpiti

Electra Business Breakfast – B2B networking – Sponsored by Electra

Nau mai haere mai Electra Business Breakfast is looking forward to welcoming Waka Kotahi NZTA, Craig Nicholson and from Ventia, Anthony Green. Craig will speak about the construction of Transmission Gully and what it provides in terms of road safety, resilience, capacity and travel time reliability. Anthony will speak about its role operating the new motorway for the next 25 years.

Transmission Gully is a game changer for economic development in Kāpiti – this session will offer valuable insights from Waka Kotahi and Ventia.

Transmission Gully is one of the most significant and complex new roading projects in New Zealand, spanning 27 kilometres of challenging terrain that has required innovative environmental and construction techniques.
Transmission Gully is New Zealand’s first transport infrastructure project to be delivered under a Public Private Partnership (PPP).
Wellington Gateway Partnership (WGP) is the PPP contractor. CPB HEB Joint Venture is the joint venture sub-contracted by WGP to design and build the project. Ventia is the company sub-contracted by WGP to operate and maintain the motorway for 25 years.
Ventia is one of the largest essential service providers in New Zealand and Australia. It provides long term management of critical public and private assets and infrastructure.
Ventia’s job is to operate the motorway 24/7. This involves handling emergencies, traffic management and responding to incidents or events.

See you there! Book early to avoid disappointment.
