Home : SH1 | Kaikoura
The SH1 project has become an iconic post-Covid development, admired by many drivers heading north of Christchurch. Set to the backdrop of the ocean, and the Kaikoura mountain ranges the various forms have made a big impact!
The huge murals took up to a month to blast into place, and the smaller ground murals around 15 hours each. The stencils were fixed into place with a specialised vapour blasting tool to reduce environmental impact. Vapour blasting uses 80 mesh grit, mixed with water, which comes out as a vapour and suppresses the dust down to between 92 and 95 percent dustless.
This was a large project, pushing our skills to the limits and stretching us to deliver some stunning artwork. Vapour blasting was a new application for us but has already led to a number of opportunities across the country
Art Fetiche worked with Fayne Robinson | Ngai Tahu to develop a range of designs and artworks to feature alongside the new roading development
