Southpac Trucks Te Rapa, Hamilton
With a high-water table and complex service pit design, Southpac's Te Rapa site demanded precision.
RAWA’s long-standing partnership with The Colonial Motor Company Limited (CMC) meant we were trusted to deliver again — overseeing every step of this technically complex build and ensuring seamless delivery from planning to performance.
As Southpac Trucks continued to scale its operations, CMC required a new service centre in Te Rapa. RAWA led the full development process from land acquisition through to completion, applying technical expertise to deliver a complex build.
A key challenge was managing the design and construction of deep inground pits on a site with a high-water table. We worked with engineers to develop a solution that eliminated groundwater risk while staying on schedule.
