This site visit focuses on the Transport Rebuild East Coast Alliance's (TREC) final major underslip repair in the Devil’s Elbow area, a crucial project resulting from Cyclone Gabrielle.
The design solution involves a mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) wall with a piled foundation at its toe, which itself consists of a tied-back in-ground palisade wall. This is the final chance to view this intriguing blend of engineering elements before they're buried beneath the MSE wall backfill.
Event Details:
We'll meet promptly at 4:00 PM at TREC's Kaiwaka Site office. There, we'll connect with Tony King, Project Manager from TREC's Construction Team, for a brief overview of the progress.
Afterward, we'll carpool to the site compound for a site induction and sign-in before beginning our tour. To cap off the event, refreshments and a BBQ will be held back at the site office at approximately 5:00 PM.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to see significant engineering work up close!
PPE Required: Long sleeve shirts, long pants, hard hat, hi-vis vests & safety boots.
