Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team

Christchurch, Canterbury, NZ • 250 - 499 Employees
Architecture Firm/Engineering Firm

The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild is being carried out by the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT), an alliance between Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), City Care, Downer, Fletcher Construction, Fulton Hogan, and MacDow New Zealand. Alliances are a proven way of delivering the best results on major infrastructure projects, including bringing innovation and value for money. All organisations involved commit to working closely together to achieve the best outcome for the city. The Alliance contractors were appointed following the 4 September 2010 earthquake because they had a proven track record of working on Council projects, understood the city and its infrastructure and had the project and construction management capability to manage large-scale contract works. They have all been working since 22 February on emergency repairs. On 22 September 2011 an agreement was formalised with the signing of the Alliance Agreement by all contractors.

SCIRT will be working closely with CERA, the Government agency set up to lead and coordinate the ongoing earthquake recovery, and Christchurch City Council, the owners of the city’s horizontal infrastructure.
