Finishing stages

Our Whakawhirinaki Silverstream Pipe Bridge team are in the finishing stages of the critical infrastructure project that BPC is delivering for Wellington Water. The 200m long bridge carries a seismically resilient concrete-lined steel water pipe as well as a shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. The water pipe has been completed on the bridge and in the chambers and permanent bridge lighting has been installed.

Project Manager Hayden Chapman says the team is now constructing the final section of the eastern embankment. “The basecourse for the footpaths is being prepped, coloured concrete pours begin next week, and the permanent coloured deck surfacing has just resumed. The landscape planting is due to start at the beginning of the planting season in May.”
