Te Reinga Network Arch Bridge

Eastbridge successfully lifted the Te Reinga Network Arch Bridge a couple of weeks ago, using the largest crawler crane in New Zealand — Smiths’ 1000-tonne crawler. This was the crane’s very first lift, and it stands as one of the biggest single-crane lifts ever completed in New Zealand.

The bridge is a fabricated box arch constructed from weathering steel, making it one of the more complex and intensive network arches we’ve built to date. Despite the intricacy, it fitted together exceptionally well — a testament to the skill and precision of everyone involved.

As the photos show, the assembly area was extremely tight, even extending into the neighbour’s backyard!

A huge congratulations to the entire team, from fabrication right through to installation. This was a significant achievement, and something everyone involved can be proud of.

In Loving Memory of Dennis

We pause to remember our friend and colleague, Dennis, who sadly passed away one year ago.

Dennis was a valued member of the Eastbridge team, known not only for his skill and dedication at work, but also for the kindness, humour, and warmth he shared with those around him. He brought people together, lifted spirits with his laughter, and always had time for others.

Although a year has passed, Dennis’ presence is still deeply felt by all of us. His contribution to our team and his friendship will never be forgotten.

We honour his memory with gratitude for the time we had together, and we extend our thoughts and support to his family and friends.

Gone but never forgotten — Dennis will always remain a part of the Eastbridge story.
