Back-up pipe passes test
As many residents on Wellington’s south coast know, a liner was successfully installed in a ruptured pipe under Mt Albert, after a high-tech international collaboration, and is now conveying sludge from Moa Point to our de-watering plant near the Southern Landfill.
To help ensure sludge trucks won’t be needed to protect the marine environment again, the second ruptured pipe under Mt Albert has been lined as back-up in the case of failure and for regular maintenance.
Here we have Jaden and Andrew from our contractors on this job, Brian Perry Civil and Hadlee Brunton, running a pressure test with water on the second pipe as part of the commissioning process. The 5-hour test was successful and this back-up pipe will soon be fully operational.
A big thanks to everyone involved in this massive collaborative effort!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
