Pump station progress in capital

BPC’s crew has completed the structural ring beam pour for the Taranaki Street Pump Station in central Wellington.

Project Engineer Jacob Walmsley says the successful pour enables the crew to excavate to the required depth for the pump station. “We’ve started excavation work this week and once that’s completed we’ll be pouring the base plug.”

The pump station is part of Wellington Water’s CBD Wastewater Renewals and Upgrades programme to increase the capacity and resilience of the capital’s wastewater network.
