TALK TITLE
The Mauao Blackhawk Project
ABSTRACT
The Mauao Blackhawk project was a real adventure that proves thinking outside the box, along with careful planning, can create big things. During our presentation, we will be discussing the reasons behind our methodology, the ins and outs of organising a job of this scale, but more importantly… why?
During this project, the team lifted 26 large trees growing on the remains of three areas of cultural and historical significance. The site's sensitivity, its location, and the sheer size of the trees made it a unique and challenging task for the team, ultimately resulting in the successful completion of the Mauao Blackhawk project.
