New lanes are aimed at getting cyclists off the footpath and safely using the road. There's a big change coming for one of Hamilton's key bridges, and bikes will benefit. https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/114317853/hamilton-city-wheels-spin-toward-cycles-with-bridge-revamp?rm=a 1/9 15/11/2019 Hamilton City wheels spin toward cycles with bridge revamp | Stuff.co.nz But it's unlikely to be the last for the city some are tipping to be the country's waikato times Log in cycling mecca. Claudelands Bridge will get a lower speed limit, some separate cycleways and new road markings to help two-wheeled travellers get over the river safely. KM21 A lower speed limit, cycleways and road marking are coming to Hamilton's Claudelands Bridge. Pictured is an artist impression showing the approach to the bridge, heading into town. It's part of a wider push to make Hamilton bike-friendly, and city councillor Mark Bunting reckons the city should be New Zealand's cycling capital. Hamilton's small, the weather's decent, and there are no hills, he said.

Council figures say about 600 bikes cross Claudelands Bridge in a day, with more than 12,000 vehicles. "[With the new project], we're finally getting cyclists over the river without having to take their lives into their hands or go up to Pukete," said Bunting, who chairs the Access Hamilton taskforce. He's got a dream of a connected cycle network - "not at the expense of cars" - and more testing of temporary approaches, such as the hit sticks around Fairfield Bridge. https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/114317853/hamilton-city-wheels-spin-toward-cycles-with-bridge-revamp?rm=a 3/9 15/11/2019 Hamilton City wheels spin toward cycles with bridge revamp | Stuff.co.nz waikato times Log in TOM LEE/STUFF "We're finally getting cyclists over the river without having to take their lives into their hands or go up to Pukete," Hamilton City councillor Mark Bunting said. The Claudelands changes will cost just under $1 million and start happening from late July. The speed will drop to 30kmh, and other changes include bits of separated cycleway, and share arrow (sharrow) markings to show where bikes should go in the middle of the lane. Footpaths on Claudelands Bridge are too narrow for bikes and pedestrians to share, city transportation special projects manager Jason Harrison said. https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/114317853/hamilton-city-wheels-spin-toward-cycles-with-bridge-revamp?rm=a 4/9 15/11/2019 Hamilton City wheels spin toward cycles with bridge revamp | Stuff.co.nz waikato times Log in Major cycle routes should be off the road where possible, Hamilton City councillor Dave Macpherson said. "Where they can't be - like Claudelands Bridge - that whole road is changed to be much safer." (file photo) TOM LEE/STUFF Major cycle routes should be off the road where possible, Hamilton City councillor Dave Macpherson said. "Where they can't be - like Claudelands Bridge - that whole road is changed to be much safer." (file photo) With the changes, bikes should be able to stay in the traffic lane. City council candidate Sarah Thomson supports the approach, given the narrow spot, as it's "making the best of what you have got to try and get things happening a lot quicker". Thomson has experienced a few knocks on Hamilton roads, where cycle lanes appear and disappear, and said turning right at a roundabout is a cyclist's nightmare. https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/114317853/hamilton-city-wheels-spin-toward-cycles-with-bridge-revamp?rm=a 5/9 15/11/2019 Hamilton City wheels spin toward cycles with bridge revamp | Stuff.co.nz waikato times Log in Hamilton's Western Rail Trail will soon get an extension right into the CBD. Gurpreet Singh is pictured enjoying the off-road path (file photo). DOMINICO ZAPATA/STUFF Hamilton's Western Rail Trail will soon get an extension right into the CBD. Gurpreet Singh is pictured enjoying the off-road path (file photo). "When we were living in Glenview and the [Western] Rail Trail came out, that was amazing ... being able to bike and just enjoy it and get to the other end without your blood pressure going through the roof. But it doesn't generally feel safe, in most places, biking." Council could move things around to provide better for bikes, she said. For example, Victoria Street could go to one lane, and carparks could be moved out protect a cycle lane on the footpath side. Several voices say we need to fill in the gaps for Hamilton cyclists, including local group Bike Waikato. It started Ungap the Map, gathering information on trouble spots from anyone who bikes or would like to, and passing it on to council to inform future work. A dangerous intersection near home could put someone off biking, member Richard Porter said, and those "interested but concerned" people are where the group could get some traction. When council's infrastructure chairman Dave Macpherson thinks of gaps, the Fairfield intersection of Clarkin and Bankwood Roads comes to mind. "The cycleway disappears and you're into this really tight intersection which is only marked for cars," he said. https://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/114317853/hamilton-city-wheels-spin-toward-cycles-with-bridge-revamp?rm=a 6/9 15/11/2019 Hamilton City wheels spin toward cycles with bridge revamp | Stuff.co.nz "We have to have some main cycle routes that are, where possible, off the main waikato times Log in roads. And where they can't be - like Claudelands Bridge - that whole road is changed to be much safer, so you can go to any quadrant in the city without having to take your life in your hands." Larger projects coming up include an extension of the Western Rail Trail into the CBD and, in future, a city to university cycle route. Macpherson is frustrated at a lack of progress on the school link project in Hamilton East, discussed as a way to support transport around 14 schools. It would have run along Peachgrove and Hukanui Roads, but there's uncertainty around NZTA funding. More people seem to be biking, city council's special projects manager for city transportation Jason Harrison said, judging by his commute. Overall, council must cater for everything from private vehicles, to public transport, and walking - plus newer methods such as car share and e-scooters. "It's quite an exciting and dynamic space," he said. "The challenge for us is what we know about but also what we don't know about, and how things will change."

  • 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.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music at The University of Waikato By Phillippa Ulenberg _____________ The University of Waikato 2009 Abstract The Community Arts Service (CAS, 1946-1966), founded after World War Two, took tours of music, drama, opera, dance and art exhibitions to smaller centres and isolated rural areas throughout New Zealand, fostering the cultural activities undertaken by local groups. From the Auckland University College, where it originated as a branch of Adult Education, it spread to the other University College provinces and, beyond New Zealand, to Australia. As Adult Education, CAS programmes emphasised educational value and aimed to develop the tastes and level of culture in the participating communities. The Service operated through local CAS committees, encouraging rural centres to take increasing responsibility for the cultural life of their own communities.

  • 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.
