Project Overview

Dempsey Wood undertook this Waka Kotahi NZTA contract consisting of the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of SH16 and Muriwai Road within the township of Waimauku, west of Auckland.

Testimonial

You guys did a great job with this project.
I was speaking with my neighbours the other day about how much we appreciated the personal communication during this. We felt like a part of the project.

So many companies do whatever they want without telling you anything. We also saw how hard those guys work every day to keep our kids and residents safe through it all!

As the project progressed, Dempsey Wood became heavily involved with the local school. We became the proud sponsor of one of their sports teams as well as other community groups and events.

Testimonial

Thank you all again for coming. My boys were telling me on the way home that they thought you guys were really awesome and did a great job – I’m not sure whether they meant in presenting to them or in building the roundabout, but either way it’s good news!

Increasing involvement with the community and Waimauku Primary School gave Dempsey the opportunity to present at a STEM Club session and even became a proud sponsor of one of the school sports teams.
