At 490 hectares, Ruakura Superhub is one of New Zealand’s largest multi-use developments, equivalent to the size of Auckland’s CBD. 

Located at the nexus of the golden triangle between Auckland and Tauranga, the Superhub is anchored by an inland port and will include logistics, industrial, commercial, retail, green space, and homes for approximately 4,500 families.

PBT Transport recently opened its new state-of-the-art depot at the Ruakura Superhub with the aim of being better able to meet its customer’s needs.

The business employs over 3,000 people and moves an average of 300 containers per day.

On a day-to-day basis, there are trucks, forklifts and people sharing a space. To ensure the safety of its people, vehicles, and shipments, PBT Transport engaged Vanguard Group to advise, specify and install, safety walkways throughout the site. 

The project involved scoping the site to understand the dynamics, right through to managing installation of the specified safety equipment and working alongside the client and other contractors involved in the build.

The safety barrier project was completed prior to the depot becoming operational, allowing PBT Transport to begin its operations in their new home with confidence and peace of mind from day one.
