Hawaiki Cable Landing - Mangawhai

Watch the amazing Hawaiki cable operations in Mangawhai Heads, New Zealand.

In 2018 Wilson Earthmoving Group Ltd played a key role in the beach landing of the fibre optic cable from Hawaii at Mangawhai Heads in Northland.

Using large buoys attached to the cable as it departed the vessel it was dragged off the ship and buried along the beach ready for connection.

Digging in-between the tides and coming up with an innovative Kiwi DIY method for dragging the cable we used two 25 tonne excavators to haul it. Check out this short video to see more…
