Cook Strait Ferry Infrastructure Project, Wellington, New Zealand

News published on October 19, 2026

IQIP is proud to support Brian Perry Civil Ltd. on the Cook Strait Ferry Infrastructure Project at CentrePort, Wellington, where they are delivering the marine infrastructure works for the new ferry facilities.

The project scope includes marine piling works for the construction of a new wharf and mooring dolphins, involving the installation of large-diameter steel circular piles with an outer diameter of 1,880 mm.

To support these operations, IQIP has supplied a fully integrated Vibro-Hydrohammer Combination under an 18-month rental agreement commencing in September 2026, consisting of:

  • Hydrohammer® S-350
    Part of IQIP’s renowned Hydrohammer S-series, the S-350 is designed for high-impact piling operations and delivers the power, precision, and reliability required for demanding marine and civil infrastructure projects. The S-series is widely used for heavy foundation structures, jackets, sheet piles, and combi walls in challenging environments.
  • Vibrohammer Z5
    The Z5 from IQIP’s Vibrohammer Z-series is engineered for sensitive and urban environments. Its adjustable amplitude minimizes vibrations during startup and shutdown, helping to reduce the impact on surrounding structures while maintaining efficient pile installation performance.
  • Noise Reduction System (NRS) 2200
    In addition, IQIP has supplied a Noise Reduction System (NRS) 2200. This system significantly reduces noise emissions during Hydrohammer operations, contributing to a safer working environment and lowering noise levels by approximately 10 to 18 dB(A).

Together, the Hydrohammer and Vibrohammer work in perfect unison, combining the strengths of both technologies to maximize installation efficiency and precision throughout the piling process while sharing the power packs and control unit. This IQIP C&C combination makes it an ideal solution for today’s construction projects, where environmental impact and stakeholder considerations are increasingly important as well as operation efficiency.

We would like to thank Brian Perry Civil Ltd. for their trust in IQIP and look forward to supporting the successful delivery of this important infrastructure project.
