Our Projects
Since our inception we have been fortunate to work alongside some great clients across New Zealand and support the delivery of some awesome projects.
Kawakawa Hospital Infrastructure Upgrades & Helipad
LMC has been working with Te Whatu Ora in Northland on multiple projects over the past 5 years. More recently we carried out a traffic study for the Kawakawa Hospital, which lead to design of roading and pedestrian access upgrades. In addition we have been engaged to investigate a new helipad alongside project partners Earthtech and Gray Matter
Mangawara Bridge
LMC was the client side project manager on behalf of Waikato District Council. The project involved multiple stakeholders and funders, but in essence was about the creation of a safe accessway to the Taupiri Urupa. Teh project was a winner in the 2021 IPWEA Awards for Public Infrastructure Projects between $2M - $5M. A fantastic community project, working alongside iwi, council and the community.
Te Awa Cycleway
LMC was the client side project manager on behalf of Waikato District Council. The project included managing the design, procurement and delivery of two sections of Te Awa through Tamahere. Significant engagement with stakeholders and funders was required, including landowner negotiations and agreements.
Road Safety Audits
LMC has carried out multiple safety audits for local government clients and for Waka Kotahi. We have been involved in the SH43 seal extension audits from the inception and more recently carried out audits on SH38. The team is experienced in urban and rural settings and works alongside project partners like Smart Access for mobility expertise.
