The North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery (NCTIR) alliance was established following the November 2016 Kaikōura earthquake, a 7.8 magnitude event that caused widespread damage to road and rail infrastructure across the Canterbury and Marlborough regions of New Zealand. The alliance brought together multiple organizations to restore critical transport links and reconnect isolated communities under extreme conditions, including ongoing seismic activity, remote and difficult terrain, and rapidly changing design requirements.
