Client Challenge:

With the newly constructed 3,600-space carpark (Park & Ride) at Auckland Airport, Fulton Hogan was running to a tight schedule to have this significant project opened on time for Auckland International Airport.

The project scope involved specifying and supplying traffic safety controls, and installation needed to start and finish over 4 weeks, to work around a tight schedule of asphalting and line marking work.

The chosen supply partner couldn’t drop the ball and definitely couldn’t say ‘sorry the delivery is going to be delayed…’ !

In addition to the time constraints, due to the number of wheel stops and bollards required, they wouldn’t be able to receive everything on site in one go as it would take up too much space.

Fulton Hogan needed a supply partner that could give them confidence in their ability to supply in full, on time, and work around a fast-paced construction schedule.

Solution:

Vanguard partnered with Fulton Hogan to deliver on specifying and supplying traffic management controls within the carpark. This included:

• 1,683 x wheel stops for carparks
• 211 x steel bollards to protect pedestrians and assets

Our team constantly communicated with the estimators working through design changes, liaising with the site team on deliveries and helping manage the full supply and delivery aspect so that Fulton Hogan could keep moving. 

We were able to store stock for the full project in our warehouse and then supply in stages as required, allowing the team onsite to keep moving on their schedule and be confident that the stock would be there when they needed it.
