WIN Auckland: Creating the Stage for the 36th America’s Cup

The Auckland Chapter of WIN New Zealand is delighted to invite you to a virtual site tour of the 36^th America’s Cup Infrastructure Project. In this Zoom webinar, Jamie Cachine, Deputy Chair for Auckland WIN and Geotechnical Investigations Lead for Wynyard Edge Alliance (WEA), will provide a project overview and guide your photo tour across the Auckland waterfront to see the new infrastructure developed for the big event. Along the way, you will hear from 7 women working in a variety of disciplines who each played an important part in achieving the project’s milestones. Join us to learn about:

• The alliance model, why it was chosen for AC36 and what it’s like to work as an alliance
• Building wharves, wavebreaks, and a new Sealink Ferry Terminal
• Wynyard Point development, Silo Park extension, and a stormwater outfall for 1/3 of Auckland’s CBD
• Historic land use and contamination
• Protecting marine life during construction

Following the virtual tour, we will have time for some questions from the audience.
