  • Changes to the Marine Biota of the Auckland Harbour, by F. I
    TANE 29, 1983 CHANGES TO THE MARINE BIOTA OF THE AUCKLAND HARBOUR by F. I. Dromgoole* and B. A. Fostert * Department of Botany, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland t Department of Zoology, University of Auckland, Private Bag, Auckland SUMMARY The history of study of the marine biota of Auckland Harbour is briefly reviewed, and it is concluded that there is insufficient documented information to make quantitative assessment of changes that have resulted from reclamation, sedimentation and pollution that have occurred with the development of the Port of Auckland. Losses of mangrove and saltmarsh communities are indisputable, but causes of declines in populations of Zostera, Pomatoceros and Perna are not so clear. On the other hand, a number of species have been introduced, and circumstantial evidence suggests these adventives have arrived as ship- fouling. Cases discussed are Codium fragile tomentosoides, Colpomenia bullosa, Limaria orientalis and Sagartia luciae. The most conspicuous newcomer, the oyster Crassostrea gigas, may have been deliberately introduced. INTRODUCTION Regular use of the Auckland Harbour by European ships stems from the early 1800s, so there has been ample opportunity for the introduction of adventive fouling species. Maritime reclamation in Auckland Harbour dates back to about 1860 when shores near the commercial centre were filled and extended as wharves and breakwaters. Modification of habitats and inhabitants of the harbour has now been going on for more than 120 years, but scientific study of them has been of much shorter duration. In this paper we wish to document some additions and alterations to the marine biology. Auckland Harbour has three parts (see Fig.

  • Facts and Issues: Towards a National Infrastructure Plan
    ISBN: 978-0-478-33080-9 (online) NOT GOVERNMENT POLICY Note to Reader The Minister for Infrastructure indicated in his recent speech to the ‘Building Nations’ Symposium that the National Infrastructure Plan “…will evolve through time. The first draft should be ready early next year. Areas not identified in the plan will not necessarily be excluded from future public investment. It will be updated regularly - and no doubt we will get better at doing it.” This document is a precursor to the Plan. It contains a sector-by-sector description of New Zealand’s existing infrastructure, information about planned investment and a description of current policy settings. We would now like to answer a number of questions: 1. Base information: Is the sectoral analysis contained here an accurate and informative description of the sector? If not, what changes are required to make it so? 2. Missing issues: Are there important infrastructure issues not mentioned in this document? 3. Decision-making: This document suggests that for projects to contribute to community/national welfare and economic growth, they must have expected benefits (measured comprehensively) that are greater than their estimated costs (also measured comprehensively) – see the decision-making principles in the ‘Policy Context’ chapter. As well as considering distributional or equity considerations, are there other considerations that should be taken into account and if so, what is the case for that? 4. Cross-sectoral issues: What cross-sectoral issues are faced by operators/users of infrastructure in each sector? This document identifies a number of cross sectoral issues. Are there other cross-sectoral issues that should be included in a National Infrastructure Plan? 5.

  • 65 YEARS of PRESTRESSING CONCRETE in NEW ZEALAND BRIDGES JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1Technical Director
    65 YEARS OF PRESTRESSING CONCRETE IN NEW ZEALAND BRIDGES JAMIL KHAN1, GEOFF BROWN2 1Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand 2Senior Technical Director - Structural Engineering, Beca Ltd, Wellington, New Zealand SUMMARY Prestressing has played an important role in extending the span capability and economy of concrete bridges. The history of bridge construction in New Zealand has proved that prestressed concrete is an excellent material for constructing bridges and Kiwi engineers made considerable early use of prestressed 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 new and innovative materials. INTRODUCTION Prestressed Concrete is one of the most cost effective and durable construction materials and can provide many advantages over other materials. Originating in France, prestressing in bridge construction was introduced in early 1950’s. In the United Kingdom, the first major prestressed concrete road bridge was the replacement for Northam Bridge[24], Southampton in 1954. Walnut Lane Bridge in Philadelphia completed in late 1950, is considered the first prestressed concrete bridge in the USA[25]. It is remarkable that New Zealand, as a remote country at the end of the world, made considerable early use of prestressed concrete in bridge construction. IPENZ’s records indicate that in 1954 the Hutt Estuary Bridge[18] used post-tensioned prestressed concrete for the first time in New Zealand. Upper Hutt City Council also claims their Bridge Road Bridge B8/1, built in 1954 over the Akatarawa River, was the first prestressed bridge in New Zealand[17].
