    Tawhaki Sealed Runway & Hangar
    < Back to Projects

    Christchurch

    Tāwhaki is a joint venture partnership between Kaitorete Limited (representing Wairewa Rūnanga and Te Taumutu Rūnanga) and the Crown, aimed at creating enduring opportunities and delivering positive outcomes for the whenua at Kaitorete, as well as for whānau, hapū, and the wider community. This will be achieved through the staged development of a 100-hectare site, known as the Aerospace Research Site.

    Stage 1 involved the construction of a 1-kilometre-long, 30-metre-wide sealed runway, including a taxiway and internal roadways.

    Tactical was engaged as the Project Delivery Lead for the construction of the sealed runway, as well as the design and build of a 600m² hangar at the Aerospace Research Site. In this role, Tactical was responsible for overseeing all aspects of project delivery — including design, procurement, contract drafting and negotiation, programme and risk management — and also acted as the Engineer’s Representative.

    A key milestone was the successful fast-tracking of the construction process, enabling the runway to be completed within an impressive four-month timeframe.

    Stage 2 is now underway and focuses on the design and construction of a 600m² hangar with integrated office space. Following the successful delivery of Stage 1, Tactical was reappointed by the client to manage this next phase of the project.
