The project involved the construction of a new 13km highway over the Ruahine Ranges, replacing the former Manawatū Gorge Road and implementing highway safety barriers and road safety systems to improve safety, reliability, and long-term infrastructure resilience.

These road safety systems were selected for their proven performance, durability, and suitability for high-wind, exposed environments. Ingal Civil Products supported the delivery and installation of MASH-compliant highway safety barriers across challenging alpine terrain. The alignment crossed an exposed mountain pass with consistently high winds and cold conditions. Installation was completed using driven sleeve foundations and barrier systems designed to perform reliably in demanding environments. This project is a critical piece of road safety infrastructure that improves safety, reliability, and resilience for road users travelling between Palmerston North and the Tararua District. Ingal Civil Products is proud to have contributed industry-leading roadside safety solutions to this significant New Zealand infrastructure project.
