Auckland Transport required stabilisation of an active landslip in the Oakley Creek Esplanade Reserve which was undermining the shared path and critical infrastructure near Great North Road, Auckland. Failure of a section of the road would cause major traffic congestion. The aim was to construct an in-ground concrete lattice structure using the diaphragm-wall technique with low-strength flowable fill whilst meeting demanding concrete performance and embodied carbon targets.

The required project targets included early age strength, concrete bleed under pressure, workability, spread retention, and embodied carbon reductions. Laboratory and production trials were conducted on several low-carbon concrete mixes utilising 50% to 70% cement replacement with ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS).
