We have joined forces with the Engineering NZ Hawke's Bay Branch for a field trip to the Te Awanga coastline, where an exciting new coastal protection structure is being installed using EcoReef® modules. This marks the first application of EcoReef® technology in a coastal environment in Hawke’s Bay, with more installations planned for the region.

The project showcases a forward-thinking approach to erosion control that is manufactured locally in Hastings, utilising a unique self-interlocking design, while reducing transportation of fill—an excellent example of sustainable engineering in action.
EcoReef® structures have already proven their resilience in other North Island locations, including the rugged and exposed site of Cape Palliser. Notably, the Cape Palliser installations withstood the severe storms that impacted the Wellington region earlier this month, while more traditional solutions such as riprap were washed away. During the visit, attendees will hear from the project team about the design, construction process, and future plans for EcoReef® in Hawke’s Bay in both coastal and inland applications.
This is a valuable opportunity to see innovative engineering at work and connect with peers in the field. Event is sponsored by the Lattey Group.
PPE Required: Hard hats, hi-vis vests and safety boots.
Networking and nibbles provided afterwards.

The New Zealand Coast Society invite those in the Canterbury region to join us and hear from the Christchurch City Council about their recently approved Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan for Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour and Koukourata Port Levy.
Come along and hear from the Christchurch City Council Coastal Adaptation team on their recent milestone with the approval of the Whakaraupō and Koukourarata Coastal Hazards Adaptation Plan. The team will give us a brief overview of their experience developing the plan over the past few years, and what their next steps are. NZCS will host some food and drinks after the presentation for everyone to have a good catch up about all things coastal.
