It is easy to understand why Auckland has the largest population of any region in the country. It is blessed with two very sheltered harbours and probably the mildest climate in New Zealand. Auckland has become the commercial capital of New Zealand, but this hasn't happened without the innovation and initiatives provided by the engineering profession. Engineers have been charged with making things,building our infrastructure and keeping it going in the face of rapidly increasing population growth. The basics like water supply, drainage and power supplies are essential, as are the harbour facilities, telecommunications, roads, railways, bridges and airports. The development of these facilities since 1840, the difficulties, political controversies and heartbreaks are described in this book by engineers who have been responsible for building our many and varied facilities.

No matter how you look at it, New Zealand is a young country. Its youth has presented a challenge for our engineers, who have had to build the infrastructure needed for a modern trading economy in little over 150 years, in terrain that is often still being shaped by the forces that are forming the land. Europeans came to New Zealand in an era when scientific miracles were an everyday occurrence. To a world that had been largely powered by muscle and built with wood and stone, the prospects offered by the industrial revolution and science appeared limitless. Nineteenth-century settlers set to work with vigour, transforming the landscape around them with agricultural machines, factories, rail and steamships. Building with iron, steel and ferroconcrete made it possible to construct massive structures that would have been unthinkable even a century earlier. From those early days to today's high tech engineering marvels - from New Zealand's first road and railways projects to America's Cup yachts and Auckland's Skytower -- New Zealand has a truly impressive engineering heritage. selected a number of significant engineering projects for special awards to mark the sesquicentennial year. These projects, plus others that have qualified since, are brought to life in this book by professional historian Matthew Wright. Heavily illustrated with both historical and modern photographs, New Zealand's Engineering Heritage presents an impressive record of engineering works large and small from one of the country to the other. Many, such as the Raurimu spiral and the Hamilton jet engine, are famous throughout New Zealand, while others like the Bluff all-weather package loaders are better known within their local communities. Over 65 projects, spanning more than 130 years, feature in this record of engineering works that have contributed to the shape of New Zealand today.
