Project Description
PS 134 was the second of three new pump stations which we constructed over a period of six months. On each project we were proactive and played a key role in the development of enhanced solutions. In particular, on the Emmett Street project, our knowledge of Christchurch’s soils and geotechnical issues contributed to enhanced outcomes.
This included our submission of a design change, at tender stage, for the piling methodology. Our solution of sheet piles and a raft foundation reduced the adverse effects of vibration to neighbouring properties, and was cheaper than hydraulic-driven piles. This technique utilised equipment, already owned by Seipp Construction, and eliminated the costs associated with procurement/hiring of specialist gear.
Seipp Construction’s delivery of the Emmett Street pumping station was well-planned and well-executed and characterised by our contribution to cost savings and added value.
