Morere Emergency Culvert Replacement SH2
By Currie Construction
After the flooding caused by cyclone gabrielle, a slip blocked a culvert positioned 12 metres beneath the road. This meant a watercourse above the highway near the famed Mōrere Hot Springs was filling up with water, running over the road at an already fragile fill area and putting the road at risk of being washed out entirely.
Despite the team pumping water 24-7 to take the pressure off and minimise damage to the road, an emergency culvert replacement was the only way to take away the risk of the road being washed away at the next downpour, at a time when the earth was still moving.
The project had to be done in just two days of road closure. Delivering it on time needed great collaboration between Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Quality Roading and Solutions, Currie Construction, and the project subcontractors to be a success.
