Project Story

Stanley once again proved itself in the toughest of conditions dealing with Mother Nature at its finest at this unique site location.  Cape Reinga WC Block and Portal is located a stones throw away from the northern tip of New Zealand which caused constant challenges with site access and availability.  This location was not only testing in this regard but also with the exposure to gale force winds and torrential rainstorms.  These extreme weather conditions caused much on site damage which was a huge setback to the project.

The Stanley attitude and willingness to put in the extra effort was key to this projects success.  Taking everything in their stride along with a great team attitude we were able to overcome obstacles such as dealing with a Bio-Hazard check point to access the site and many environmental considerations.
