About the Manukau Harbour Crossing Alliance
The Manukau Harbour Crossing Project is being delivered by an alliance comprising NZ Transport Agency, Fletcher Construction, Beca Infrastructure and Higgins Contractors. The MHX Alliance brings together a high performance, integrated team to address the project’s complex design, construction, environmental and lifecycle issues.
About Alliances
Alliance contracting has been used successfully to deliver complex and challenging design and construction of major infrastructure throughout the world. It is more than just another form of contracting.
Alliancing is about creating alignment between all the project participants and systems, culture, behaviours and individual commitment. The aim is to deliver outstanding performance by achieving project milestones on time, on budget and with excellent outcomes in areas of stakeholder relations, environmental performance, traffic flows, safety and quality.
The MHX Alliance involves all participants, including the client organisation (NZTA), working with equal commitment towards a common goal and under a single governance structure.
