Current Projects
WDC Rakahuri Pumping Station
G & T Construction were engaged by Shayne Higgs to build a 6mtr deep in ground pumping station on the north side of the Ashley river bridge at Rangiora.
A sheet pile cofferdam was installed and a precast concrete wet well constructed within the excavation.
The contract included a below ground valve chamber and an inlet manhole surrounded by a concrete slab, as well as other site works.
The team also installed a 180 HDPE pipe line across the Ashley River slung under the road bridge.
Dominion Salt sea intake
Following the Kaikoura Earthquakes, the intake to the Dominion Salt plant at Grassmere south of Blenheim no longer functioned as designed due to uplift of the sea bed.
G & T Construction were engaged to provide temporary works and cranage support for the installation of a new extended sea intake.
A sheet piled cofferdam was installed to protect the divers during installation of the pipe work and a crane pad was formed to allow for pile installation to secure the new intake pipe to the sea bed.
CWTP Pond Flow Modifications
Flow improvements were needed to help with mixing in the CWTP Oxidation Ponds. G & T Construction built several structures and modified some existing structures to re direct flows. Included were a precast culvert through the Pond 2 peninsula road and permanent sheet piles walls with flow control gated built in at the West end of Pond 2.
The peninsula dividing Pond 2 into two cells was also extended using demolition waste from our Sludge Lagoon contract as well as waste from the demolition of two local schools.
