McKenzie Civil Contracting is proud to be delivering the Kauri Cliffs Dam project for Waiaua Bay Farm Ltd, located at the stunning junction of Matauri Bay Road and Tepene Tablelands Road. This significant infrastructure development involves the construction of an engineered earth dam featuring a central clay core, chimney filter, and zoned embankment fills. The project scope includes a concrete weir crossing, a fully integrated spillway system, stormwater infrastructure, and conduit installation with valves and grouting over basalt foundations. A key focus is placed on environmental stewardship, with tuna (eel) passage, monitoring and relocation included in the works.
With construction scheduled through the 2024–2025 summer season, the project exemplifies our commitment to quality, environmental management, and regional development. Our team is also constructing access roads, managing sediment and erosion controls, and incorporating reservoir and wetland planting to enhance the surrounding environment. This challenging yet rewarding project reinforces McKenzie Civil’s capability in delivering complex earthworks and dam infrastructure across Northland.
