Central Hawke's Bay Water Renewals

CHB Water Renewals: Mackie St & McLean Tce, Waipukurau

Update: 11 September 2019

Practical completion has now been issued on this project.

Update: 23 August 2019

We have now completed all water works on this project which involved the renewal of approx. 926m of water main and the replacement of many laterals. Final walkover and project quality checks are to take place over the next two weeks, along with our contractor remedying any defects found.

All resealing and footpaths have been reconstructed.

Council thanks residents for their co-operation during the 15 week construction of the water upgrade.

Update: 25 July 2019

All new water pipes are connected to the town supply with the last connection carried out on Wednesday 24^th July in Porangahau Road.

This connection involved removing an old valve and installation of a new tee and valve while working around a second water supply pipe. Contractors now begin the push to reinstate the remaining footpaths and road surfaces with final topsoil work of grass berms to continue when weather permits over the coming weeks.

Fulton Hogan are stilling aiming to be completed and offsite by the middle of August.

Update: 11 July 2019

Both new water mains are now live and connected to the Council water network with all households connected to the new pipes with new laterals and water toby’s. Fulton Hogan are working with their sub-contractors to rehabilitate the footpaths and road surfaces with work currently underway in Mackie Street to complete the road surface now that the footpaths are completed.

Next week the last shutdown will take place along Porangahau Road to allow the last connection onto the town network to take place.

Update: 27 June 2019

Installation of the Mackie Street section of new water main and service laterals has been completed with the last connection of the new pipe network to the Council Water Network on Tuesday 25 June. All the water connections along Mackie Street are now been supplied off the new Water Network that Fulton Hogan have installed over the past 2 months.

Work is progressing well in McLean Terrace with the remaining new water main pipes completed, and half of the new water laterals to properties completed. Once the last few have been completed this week the contractor plans the carry out cleaning and testing of the new network next week which then allow the new network to be connected into the existing town network.

Update: 13 June 2019

The new water main on Mackie Street passed testing late last week, and is now ready for connecting into Council’s Water Network. The connection into the network is programmed to start on Tuesday 18th June at the Freyberg Tce end first, followed by the McLean Terrace connection later that week, After the new water main is live, the contractor will then commence changing over all house connections to the new water network. The last piece of the work for Mackie Street is to connect the new water main pipe onto the existing water network in McCarthy Terrace.

The contractor will then start installing the new house service connections for McLean Terrace in preparation for testing on the McLean Terrace Water Main in the coming weeks.

We expect the project to be complete by mid July 2019, approximately 3 weeks ahead of originally planned schedule.

Update: 29 May 2019

Work has progressed well over the past two weeks with all but 20m of the new PE Watermain installed in both Mackie Street and McLean Terrace.

Fulton Hogan are currently working on installation of the new service laterals along Mackie Street with the aim to have these completed by the end of this week.

This will allow for testing and cleaning of the new network in Mackie Street to be undertaken week starting 3^rd June 2019, prior to the changeover to the new network which is planned for week starting 11^th June 2019 subject to progress and confirmation of the testing.

Once Mackie Street is changed over to the new water network, Fulton Hogan will then commence with the McLean Terrace water laterals.

Update: 15 May 2019

Work has progressed well over the past week and a half with the new water main and ridermain water pipe installed in Mackie Street.

Fulton Hogan’s sub-contractor Xtreme Contracting have directionally drilled all the new pipe which has meant a quick installation process with less road trench reinstatement work.

Over the coming weeks the water lateral to each property will be installed onto the new water main, cleaning and testing of the new pipes will then be carried out before each property is connected to the new water network.

Fulton Hogan are working with Council to minimise any disruption during the changeover phase to the new water network by having the old and new water mains live together.

Work has commenced in McLean Terrace with work continuing over the coming two weeks installing the new water pipes.
