Our Projects
Recent Projects
Norana Park, Auckland
Softball Returns to Norana Park - TIC Contracting is proud to announce the successful revitalization of Norana Park, where softball is making a triumphant return alongside the OM Softball Club. Collaborating with Auckland City Council, the team has undertaken significant enhancements to the facility.
Key improvements included the reinstatement of the hoggin diamond, the installation of a new batter’s box, and the laying of fresh turf around the diamond. These upgrades have been meticulously designed to ensure seamless transitions in playing levels, promoting a safe and enjoyable experience for athletes.
All spoil remained onsite and was used to construct mowable viewing mounds that were hydroseeded. This approach not only optimised site resources but also enhanced the visual and functional aspects of the sports ground. The hydroseeding process facilitated quick establishment of vegetation, ensuring that the mounds integrated seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. These features not only provide spectators with improved sightlines but also contribute to the overall usability of the grounds for various events.
Saint Kentigern College, Auckland
Since 2011, TIC Contracting has been a trusted partner for St Kentigern College, delivering a range of civil and sportsfield projects as a preapproved contractor.

In addition to sportsfield work, we have undertaken a variety of civil projects on the college grounds. These include constructing footpaths, installing bollards, and handling concreting, asphalting, and kerbing. We have also supplied and installed artificial turf, renovated carparks, and maintained fencing around the property’s perimeter. Our ongoing commitment ensures that St Kentigern College’s facilities are well-maintained and functional.
Korikori Sports Park & Park Lane, Hamilton
Construction of the new Korikori Sports Park & Park Lane is part of Hamilton City Council’s objective to improve community facilities. The park is comprised of five sports pitches available for a range of codes as well as carparking, roading, rain gardens, planting, kerbing, line marking and more.
In addition to the base contract Hamilton City Council varied the contract to include a new stormwater line and 3000 cubic overfill of line that was an existing drain/swale and an extra 15000m2 playing platform resultant of removing the swale/drain. The site was levelled and compacted for suitable future development of the building platform and car park facilities.
Fowlds Park, Auckland
Auckland City Council commissioned TIC to carry out an extensive renovation of three hybrid sports fields. The project began with the removal of the existing turf and the installation of a comprehensive drainage system, including main drains, lateral drains, and sand slits, to enhance field performance and manage water effectively.
In addition to improving drainage, a new sportsfield irrigation system was installed to ensure optimal water distribution. TIC also provided and installed lighting foundations and poles for the sports fields and the netball courts, significantly enhancing visibility and allowing for extended playtime.
Further upgrades included the installation of a new softball fence, along with the creation of new concrete pathways and roadside bollards. These improvements were designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and functionality, ultimately creating a superior environment for both athletes and spectators.
Park Island Sports Park, Napier
Park Island Sports Park, a key venue for rugby and the home training ground for the Hawkes Bay Rugby Union, recently underwent a significant renovation. Napier City Council engaged TIC to oversee the comprehensive reconstruction of the rugby field. The project included importing 19,000 tonnes of silt to establish a robust foundation.
TIC then installed advanced sportsfield irrigation and drainage systems to ensure the field's optimal performance. The renovation also involved meticulous soil preparation and grow-in processes, as well as the installation of a groundwater tank to support effective irrigation. These enhancements are designed to improve the field’s quality and durability, providing a superior experience for both players and spectators.
Mahoe Sports Park, Hamilton
Hamilton City Council engaged TIC to enhance their sports facilities with two key projects. The first task involved installing a new irrigation system across the existing sports fields, ensuring efficient water distribution and maintenance. The second project entailed the construction of a brand new artificial baseball diamond.
This included several detailed phases: surface leveling, the creation of a 2.5-hectare sand base, and the design and installation of an advanced automatic pop-up sprinkler irrigation system. TIC also developed a new drainage system to effectively manage water runoff and ensure the diamond’s longevity. Completing the baseball diamond project, TIC installed a new 90-foot artificial field and set up new backstop nets to enhance safety and functionality. These upgrades aim to improve both the performance and usability of the sports facilities.
