UPDATE FROM PORT MARLBOROUGH: Waikawa North West Marina Extension

Construction work will recommence this week on the Waikawa marina extension at Waikawa North West. This stage of the project, “Stage Two” consists of breakwater installation and piling works. The piling works will take approx. 4-6 months to complete and will be the main activity on site during this period.  Please note the exclusion zone when navigating in and out of the marina on the water - The majority of the breakwater installation works is from floating plant, this includes a large barge set up with a crane and piling equipment. A workboat will manoeuvre the barge into position and tow piles to the barge. 

The Harbour Master has installed two yellow special navigation buoys to highlight the risk as you approach the site from the north on the water. Our breakwater contractor will install further navigational aids as the piling works progress. We ask that you do not enter the construction zone and maintain a minimum of 30m separation from any of the construction plant or installed works.
