Upon completion the NIMT became important to New Zealand’s economic development, and was also socially significant. The Raurimu Spiral is considered a feat of engineering ingenuity and the success of this solution contributed to the on-going effectiveness of the NIMT. Despite advances in technology and materials in the century since its completion, no feasible alternative to the Spiral has been found. Therefore, the Raurimu Spiral is a lasting tribute to Holmes’ engineering achievements and is of considerable engineering heritage importance.
