An awesome moment for our Palmerston North Airport team to now officially be a MATES in Construction accredited site!
Its our second site in our Central region to reach this milestone, it's a solid reflection of the way the team looks out for each other, on and off the tools.
Checking in, speaking up, and supporting your mates - that’s what it’s all about.

This year we had two LT McGuinness crews on the water - one from the FAS project at Parliament (bringing everyone together, from labourers to consultants), and another LTM and Warren and Mahoney team representing the wider crew energy.

We were stoked to take out 1st and 2nd at the Wellington Dragon Boat Festival, but the real win was seeing our people show up for each other, dig deep, and paddle as one.

Kotahi tātou, kia kaha tātou!

Introducing LTM’s Digital Workshop!

Well-run construction should involve building things twice first digitally, then physically. At LT McGuinness, our Digital Workshop brings together cutting-edge digital tools with 75 years of construction knowledge to solve challenges in the model before they reach site.

Our in-house team works alongside project teams and subcontractors from concept to completion to help design, coordinate and build with greater accuracy and efficiency. This is now providing the foundation for our teams to take on some of Aotearoa’s most complex builds.

We’re proud to be on this journey with our partners, and excited about where digital takes our industry next.

That’s a wrap on 2025! We’re incredibly proud for what our team has achieved this year and grateful for the projects, partnerships, and people who made it happen.

From our team to yours - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄

Over the past month, LT McGuinness has had the privilege of working alongside Smith Cranes and Construction, McMillan Civil, and RCP, in collaboration with the United States Navy Seabees, to deliver the piling and concrete abutment works for the Discovery Pier project at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

The project forms part of the Antarctica Infrastructure Recapitalisation (AIR) programme, led by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) and supported by Antarctica New Zealand, to replace the existing ice wharf which has become increasingly unstable due to the impacts of climate change.

The works included the extraction of five 25 m-long ice piles frozen in place after a severe Condition 1 storm earlier this year, followed by drilling and placing a total of twelve piles to receive precast concrete abutments. These will connect to a barge currently en route from the United States and scheduled to arrive in February 2026.

Our involvement has provided valuable insight into the complexities of building in Antarctic conditions, informing our continued role in the Scott Base Redevelopment. Over the 2025–2026 summer season, our team will return to complete excavation works and support the installation of the pier’s structural connections.

LTM are very proud of the team mahi bringing together all our regions for this year’s IronMāori. With close to 50 participants, supported by friends and whānau, we took part in the Half and Quarter events - some taking on the full distance solo, others smashing individual legs as runners, swimmers, cyclists, or part of a team. Our base camp was perfectly situated to cheer everyone home. Napier turned on a great day - cool to start, then sunshine to match the awesome vibe.

Huge shout-out to our first-timers and returning athletes hitting personal bests. Everyone did amazing - we’ll be back next year.

On the 30th of May, we had the pleasure of celebrating our latest group of BCITO graduates as they completed their carpentry qualifications.

A big congratulations to Tini Fasa completing his Level 3 and to Georgia Stevenson, John Shannon, Tulei Taualii and Logan Malthus for completing their Level 4.

We also want to mention as special shoutout to Georgia Stevenson, who is officially LTM’s first female Level 4 graduate — a fantastic milestone!

Thank you to all the LTM staff who have mentored, guided, and supported our apprentices throughout their qualification journey — your contribution makes all the difference.

The evening was also a chance to honour Dan Stickney, our dedicated Apprentice Trainer, for 12 years of service to LTM and the apprenticeship programme.

This week’s article in The Post celebrates the completion of Heke Rua Archives New Zealand – one of our most technically challenging projects to date.

After breaking ground in 2022, the once-in-a-lifetime build is now complete, connected to the National Library via a two-level bridge, and constructed for long-term resilience to protect Aotearoa’s taonga in a significant seismic event.

Its 36 triple-pendulum base isolators, the largest installed in New Zealand, can shift 1.6 metres in any direction, allowing the building to disconnect from ground movement during a major earthquake. The building sits on piles 55 metres deep, same as the height of the building, to anchor it into the ground and support the 775,000 kilograms of archival shelving inside.

The façade is made of fully insulated panels that are airtight, thermally efficient, and seismically resilient – helping to keep the collections secure, dry and temperature-controlled, as required by international archival standards. The façade’s design tells the story of Taranaki Whānui and Te Ātiawa, the descendants of the Pipitea whenua on which the building sits.

LT McGuinness are incredibly proud to have delivered this landmark build as part of Aotearoa’s history.
