Wairoa Cycleway Truss Footbridge completed… and what a great colour!!

DC Structures Studio - June 20, 2020

On 17th June 2020 we performed the final inspection of the Wairoa Cycleway truss footbridge. The final solution is a breathtaking show-case of good steelwork craftsmanship and the final colour looks amazing. We selected “Resene Guru” for the truss footbridge based on our earlier 3D modelling visualisations. I was very pleased to see it was a great choice. Modelling colours on a computer is never an exact science, so it is pleasing to see the colour works really well in the real-world… WOW!

A very pleasing job. Just a few touch-ups remaining and some approach paths to complete until it gets opened. I look forward to riding along this new piece of infrastructure when it officially opens to the public in late 2020.

Toki Poutangata Pedestrian Bridge

The name chosen for the bridge “Toki Poutangata” (or Toki for short), describes a ceremonial adze of chiefly authority, and consists of a pounamu blade lashed to an elaborately carved handle. This styling has been carried through into the truss design of the bridge structure, with its distinctive tapered shape and green colour, drawing focus to the Buller River.
