Momentum - Works Consultancy client magazine January/February 1996

The document muncher

As you can see the below magazine I was planning to scan has signs of teeth, in that the miniature dachshund above has chewed at it.  It's my fault for leaving it on the ground of course! So apologies if all the content is not clear!

Claudelands Bridge

Wellington Inner City Bypass

Wellington Inner City Bypass

Whangamoa Saddle

In 1996 the former Ministry of Works had been corporatised some years beforehand into an entity commonly called WorksCorp, but was officially the Works and Development Services Corporation.  This edition of its magazine I have selectively scanned for the articles on roads, but the first page (which was the last) also refers to its imminent privatisation.  It was sold as a going concern that year and became part of Opus Group. 

The articles in this edition include:

• Strengthening of the Claudelands Bridge in Hamilton City (which was originally the railway bridge for the East Coast Main Trunk Railway)
• Planning for the Stage 2 of the Wellington Inner City Bypass (later known as Karo Drive)
• Construction of the Whangamoa deviation on SH6 in Marlborough
