  • Domain Road Interchange, Tauranga Eastern Link –Design in Liquefiable Ground
    DOMAIN ROAD INTERCHANGE, TAURANGA EASTERN LINK –DESIGN IN LIQUEFIABLE GROUND DAVE IDLE1, ANDREW WALKER1, RALF KONRAD2 1 Opus International Consultants 2 Peters and Cheung Ltd SUMMARY Soft ground conditions, combined with high seismicity and the risk of large liquefaction settlements have resulted in the development of an innovative design solution for Domain Road Interchange, where the new motorway diverges from the existing State Highway Two, on the Tauranga Eastern Link. The design was optimised from a single bridge over the main alignment to two bridges and three independent expanded polystyrene (EPS) embankments carrying the alignment over Domain Interchange. INTRODUCTION Tauranga is the major town in the Western Bay of Plenty with the largest port by volume in New Zealand. Together with the Auckland and Hamilton regions the area is expected to be home to more than 50% of the New Zealand population by 2031 (Statistics New Zealand, 2012). To meet the future demand the Government identified seven Roads of National Significance (RoNS) to support economic growth, improve operational efficiency and increase safety. A new eastern link was identified as one of these RoNS, providing a more direct route to the port, reducing journey times between Paengaroa and Tauranga and supporting managed growth of the area. The Tauranga Eastern Link (TEL) (Fig 1) is a $450million highway to meet this and at the time was the largest roading contract awarded in New Zealand (September 2010). The project comprises 12 bridge structures, four interchanges, 6km of upgraded highway and 17km of new road all designed within the Principal’s Requirements. The design and construct (D&C) contract was awarded to a Fulton Hogan HEB construction Alliance with URS, Opus, Peters & Cheung and Bartley Consultants providing full design services.

Introduction The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) is currently investigating improvements for the northern and western corridors to Christchurch, including the Western Belfast Bypass. This will provide a limited access route from the Northern Motorway (SH1) for approximately 5km south to Johns Road (SH1), bypassing Belfast Village. The alignment for the bypass has not been finalised, hence a project consultation brochure was distributed within the local area to invite feedback on the initial options being considered. Two short term options (operating until 2020) and two long term options were outlined and feedback was sought on these. Appendix A contains a copy of the brochure which shows the options and routes. The following report provides an overview of the submissions received on the Western Belfast Bypass proposal following public consultation on the options as detailed above.

  • Tauranga Eastern Link Network Plan
    Page ii Page i Purpose of the Network Plan Network Plans represent the integrated planning sought by the Government policy statement on land transport funding for a road of national significance. The key purpose of this Network Plan is to support ongoing integrated planning, optimisation of benefits and decision making for the Tauranga Eastern Link. This includes the integration and optimisation with the local network and associated activities and infrastructure within the western Bay of Plenty eastern corridor and wider Bay of Plenty network and region. Tauranga Eastern Link Network Plan The Tauranga Eastern Link project goes from Te Maunga in Tauranga to Paengaroa and is part of the wider western Bay of Plenty eastern corridor. To help outline an integrated land use and transport planning approach, the Tauranga Eastern Link Network Plan has been expanded to also include the Arataki/Bayfair node at the Tauranga end of the project. Bay of Plenty Regional Network Plan The Tauranga Eastern Link Network Plan will sit within an overall Bay of Plenty Regional Network Plan, as outlined in figure 1. The purpose of this approach is to outline, in summary, the strategic context at the national, regional, subregional and local levels, which in turn will support robust planning and decision making for the relevant strategic land transport corridors and networks. This overall approach is proposed to ensure that NZTA projects at all levels are aligned and integrated, including how they fit and interconnect with the interregional, regional and subsequent subregional strategic roading networks, as well as identify key outcomes desired for each of the identified corridors.
