A series of formal and informal events were held in Whitianga, the Mercury Bay and throughout the Coromandel Peninsula area to celebrate this historic 250th anniversary. The history of these first encounters between Ngāti Hei and Captain James Cook and his Endeavour crew 250 years ago in Te Whanganui a Hei - Mercury Bay were being commemorated. We were tasked with providing 2 stages. One in the Whitianga town centre, which would host a 12 hour celebration of local artists. The second stage was for Te Powhiri Welcome at Wharekaho, as part of formal commemorations. We used Layher Scaffold and Layer Keder Roof Systems to wrap the structures. The PVC Sheet Tarpaulin Roof System has “Green Construction” capabilities. We can reduce plastic waste (shrink wrap usage) as the Layher Keder Roof System PVC sheets utilised on the roof and sides of a structure, are re-usable. We also provided temporary fencing for the Wharekaho site too.

Commemorating the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook's encounters with Ngāti Hei through vibrant events in Mercury Bay, featuring two stages for local artists and formal ceremonies, utilizing sustainable Layher Scaffold and Keder Roof Systems.

We were tasked with providing 2 stages. One in the Whitianga town centre, which would host a 12 hour celebration of local artists.

The second stage was for Te Powhiri Welcome at Wharekaho, as part of formal commemorations.

We used Layher Scaffold and Layer Keder Roof Systems to wrap the structures. The PVC Sheet Tarpaulin Roof System has “Green Construction” capabilities. We can reduce plastic waste (shrink wrap usage) as the Layher Keder Roof System PVC sheets utilised on the roof and sides of a structure, are re-usable.

PVC roof & wall tarpaulins are inserted safely (by pulling through a track). There is no need for personnel to work on top of the structure. These roof and wall tarpaulins are environmentally friendly, as they are reusable and reduce landfill shrinkwrap.

When using the Layher Keder Roof System with a Layher Staging System, you can create a covered stage as shown below. Erected in modules of 2.5m x 2m, total stage area of 240m² can be built. The stage decks are constructed from engineered aluminium framing

“I’ve worked with Richard since he moved to the Coromandel 14 years ago. They’re reliable, the scaffolding is up when they say it’ll be up and if there’s any possible delay, which very rarely happens, they call us straight away to let us know. All the guys in the team are great too, their quotes are very competitive and they’re a brilliant team.”
