Bronze Innovation Award for the Hamilton Boys' High Cricket Dome

Congratulations to the Elektron Group Ltd for recently winning the Bronze Innovation Award for the Hamilton Boys' High Cricket Dome Project at the Master Electricians Awards! Octa is proud to have collaborated with Broadspan and Elektron on this groundbreaking project, which is a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved.

The 1400 sqm air dome, New Zealand's first, serves as a multi-sport facility with a specialised cricket surface featuring distinct zones for different bowling styles, and is built to withstand extreme weather. This structure is not only a hub for cricket, futsal, indoor hockey, and basketball, but also represents a major milestone in sports infrastructure in the region. Affectionately known as the "Grassroots Cricket Dome," the project received tremendous community support and was completed just in time for the 2023 school year, creating a legacy for Hamilton Boys’ High School and the wider cricket community.
