Software company CS-VUE is using its environmental compliance management system to help the NZ Transport Agency manage its $709.5m Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway development.
It is the first stage of a Roads of National Significance project that will see the motorway stretch all the way to Wellsford.
Prior to using CS-VUE’s software to help manage their consent conditions and compliance, NZTA relied on a range of spreadsheet-type systems.
CS-VUE general manager Wayne Fisher says it’s been fantastic to help the public-private partnership move forward.
“We were thrilled for the call up. It was scoped, designed and built in time for the award of the contract to Northern Express Group.”
The software also has the capability to hold “two-way conversations” between the consent holder, its contractors and the regulator, Auckland Council, he says.
“Normally a consent holder would rely solely on its contractors to ensure every consent was being monitored and complied with. Our module gives the transport agency direct oversight and Auckland Council instant access to the status of consents with the ability to directly sign them off.”
Graham Jones, senior monitoring officer at Auckland Council’s resource consents department says it allows the three groups to work in a more collaborative manner.
Tom Newson, NZTA’s principal project manager, says the software is being used a pilot on the northern project, before potentially being rolled out on other large roading infrastructure projects.
