What |
Council is undertaking a replacement of the culvert on Oiri Stream. |
|---|---|
Why |
Council periodically undertakes culvert replacements and maintenance to ensure they are safe and work effectively. At the Oiri Stream, to mitigate some of the upstream flooding effects during high intensity rainfall events, we are removing the existing culvert and replacing with a triple culvert with a secondary flow path with a shallow forde. |
Where |
Oiri Stream is located adjacent to 160 Pa Road, Port Levy, Banks Peninsula. |
When |
Works will start on Monday 9 June 2025 and are expected to take 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Hours of work will be Monday to Saturday, 7.30am to 5.30pm (weather/site condition dependent). We need stable and low stream flows, favourable weather conditions and low tides to undertake this work. |
Contact |
The contractor is Isaac Construction. Phone 027 243 5425, Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm. |
Details
- The construction of a temporary unsealed road around the construction site will enable unrestricted vehicle access to the east of the culvert replacement site.
- There will be increased noise, dust, and vibration from the use of machinery for activities such as excavation of flood debris.
- On-street parking/shoulders will be closed adjacent to the working areas near the bridge. Cones will indicate where parking will not be available.
- Property access will be maintained where possible. We will work with businesses and residents during the work. Please let us know if you have any specific property access needs e.g. medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries or planned works.
