Two targeted events running in Wellington this August. NZ Bridges [2-3 Aug] will gather the industry to share in the latest planning, updates, insights and innovation across the entire lifecycle of bridge structures. Plus for 2022, we have the co-located Coatings & Corrosion conference (running 3 August).

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has been working closely with Brightstar to create an interesting and informative programme with a good mix of theoretical and pragmatic presentations directly applicable to the NZ bridge industry. International and local keynote speakers will cover bridge aesthetics, innovation and the latest in 3D modelling. Waka Kotahi NZTA will be outlining current and future developments for bridge design and asset management practices. Industry and academic experts will also be providing their latest insights and experiences.
