19 December 2024:
All six Fulton Hogan’s entries have made the finals of the 2025 IPWEA Aotearoa New Zealand Public Engineering Excellence Awards. Pictured is one of the six finalists, the Wairarapa Team’s use of Ecoreef pods in the post Gabrielle rebuild, on behalf of Masterton District Council.
This includes the rare feat of a project (the Christchurch Coastal Pathway) being a finalist in two categories. The awards are in Auckland in May.
The result caps off a year in which more of our projects and people have featured in national awards than ever before.
The importance of the IPWEA (Institute of Public Works Engineers Australasia) Awards lies in the strong involvement of local and central government clients – a showcase of best practice in supporting their infrastructure needs.
Congratulations to:

For the statistically minded, Fulton Hogan had 35 entries in national awards in 2024. We were a finalist in 29 of these (83 percent) and won 14 (40%). Our regional teams also won multiple regional CCNZ Awards.
Our most awarded project, nationally, was the SH25A Taparahi Slip Remediation Project in the Coromandel with four national awards. SH25A also went international, winning The New Civil Engineer Bridge Team Project of the Year Award in London.
The Fulton Hogan/McConnell Dowell joint venture project headed off seven other bridge projects and was the only finalist outside of Europe.
