  • River Plan Feedback
    Submission No: 235 November 2014 HCC draft River Plan feedback From: - Rob Davidson and Peter Bos, for Cycle Action Waikato. To: - Jacob Quinn and the River Plan Team What do we like about the proposed River plan? 1. The River Corridor Map is Great It clearly indicates access of both the riverpath and the river bridges, throughout the whole length of the area covered by the River Plan. It is vital that people get the River Plan’s ‘Key Themes’ from the River Corridor map. This is essential information, which needs to be quickly accessed. For clarity we request that the River Corridor Map’s Key includes the label (‘Key Themes’) above the six theme logos of: - Access, Recreation, Development, Natural Environment, Arts and Culture, and Tourism (shown vertically). 2. The proposed idea for “pedestrian bridge zones” is a great idea. Furthermore, the proposed idea to “Develop a plan to become a city of bridges” is a good one. These two proposals together have a huge capacity to alleviate the River’s existing Community Severance Effect, experienced by walking, cycling, and the mobility impaired. The river currently separates the eastern residential areas from the CBD commercial and employment zone. The river is a huge barrier to cycling access as the majority of Hamilton City’s bridges are not safe for cycling, nor cycle friendly (not comfortable to ride), as described below: - Whitora Bridge (in the past, when 2-laned) was safe with wide road shoulders to cycle in. However, HCC has recently done a huge amount of damage to cycling safety and connectivity, in three-laning the Whitiora Bridge by removing the bridge’s road shoulders (cycling space) to fit an extra vehicle lane.

  • Potential Shallow Seismic Sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017
    Final Report on EQC Potential shallow seismic sources in the Hamilton Basin Project 16/717 5 July 2017 Vicki Moon & Willem de Lange School of Science University of Waikato 1. Introduction Following the exposure of a fault within a cutting in a new sub-division development in NE Hamilton, an initial investigation suggested the presence of 4 fault zones within the Hamilton Basin (Figure 1) that represented a potential hazard to infrastructure within the Basin. Hence, the overall aim of the proposal put to EQC was to refine the locations of four potentially active faults within the Hamilton Basin. To achieve this aim, two main phases of geophysical surveying were planned: 1. A seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River channel; and 2. Resistivity surveying to examine the sub- surface structure of identified fault zones. Additional MSc student projects, funded by Waikato Regional Council, were proposed to map the surface geology and geomorphology, and assess the liquefaction potential within the Hamilton Basin. During the course of the project, the initial earthworks Figure 1: Map of the four fault zones that were initially identified from geomorphology for the Hamilton Section of the Waikato Expressway and surface fault exposures, as presented in provided exposures of faults, which resulted in some the original proposal. modification of the project. 2. Methods The two main methodological approaches planned for this project were: 1. A high resolution CHIRP seismic reflection survey along the Waikato River within the Hamilton Basin. A previous study examining the stability of the river banks in response to fluctuating water levels (Wood, 2006) had obtained detailed data on the morphology of the river bed using multi-beam and single-beam echo sounders (MBES and SBES respectively), and side scan sonar.

  • History of Concrete Bridges in New Zealand
    HISTORY OF CONCRETE BRIDGES IN NEW ZEALAND JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1 Senior Associate, Beca Ltd 2 Technical Director, Beca Ltd SUMMARY Concrete is one of the most cost effective, durable and aesthetic construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges, and in particular bridges that use beams, columns and arches as the main load bearing elements. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the Victorian period, made considerable early use of concrete in bridge construction. Kiwi engineers love new ideas and embrace new technologies. New Zealand bridge engineers, from the early days, were not afraid to take on the challenge of working with a new and innovative material. The first reinforced concrete bridge was built over the Waters of Leith in Dunedin in 1903. In 1910 the Grafton Bridge in Auckland became the world’s longest reinforced concrete arch bridge, 21 years later the Kelburn Viaduct was built in Wellington. Taranaki was especially forward-looking in using concrete arch bridges and has many fine examples. In 1954 another major development occurred when the Hutt Estuary Bridge used post-tensioned pre-stressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. This led to the construction of New Zealand’s first pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge on the Wanganui Motorway in 1962. Pre-stressed concrete made slim and elegant construction possible, like the 1987 Hāpuawhenua Viaduct on the North Island Main Trunk railway line.
