Of particular note is their contract through the Auckland Motorway Alliance, which began in 2008 and involved maintenance of tunnels and motorways across Auckland. It was the largest national maintenance contract in New Zealand at the time.

Armitage Group was contracted to look after electronic systems on Auckland’s motorways and tunnels for almost 12 years.
