Weld you look at that 👀 That’s the 15-metre-long screw conveyor that was part of Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, our 200-metre Central Interceptor Tunnel Boring Machine, being cut in half so it can be removed from the Pt Erin shaft. Being sliced in two doesn't mean it's the end of the line. It

Not massive bunches of bananas, rather, they're ventilation ducts 👉 The ducts, all 8.6km of them, were used to get air down into the Central Interceptor tunnel while our team was building it deep beneath Auckland. And, while the 16.2km tunnel is now complete, there's still a lot

🚀 Not quite West Texas where Katy Perry got sent into space 🤷‍♀️ Rather, this launch site is where our Tunnel Boring Machine will head underground to build the new Clarks Beach outfall pipe, rising from the depths in the Waiuku Channel. Once constructed, the outfall will carry

What do you do with a 200m Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) when its mahi is done? Dismantle it and bit by bit lift it from the bowels of Auckland. That’s been happening over the past few weeks as Hiwa-i-te-Rangi, our Central Interceptor project TBM, is lifted from the shaft at Point

👉 as impressive as the view! Hovering above Clarks Beach, the micro–Tunnel Boring Machine is 1.2-metres in diameter and once put together will weigh 19.5 tonnes. In May it will set off, building a wastewater outfall pipe that will be able to carry the treated wastewater created

Gatsby here knows when a celebration is in order 👉 Thanks to a few top-ups of rain and your water saving efforts, our dams across the 09 have slowly but surely been filling up again💧Yup, small changes can make a big difference, so keep up the good work - rain, hail or shine. In

We’re dropping it low so our tunnel boring machine (TBM) can do the mahi to create a 240-metre wastewater outfall pipeline that will carry highly treated wastewater from our Clarks Beach treatment plant. For more about what’s in store, click the link or press play 👇

You woodn’t believe what these guys have found 👉 A team of archaeologists have uncovered a type of wooden water pipe in Leuven, Belgium 💧The water pipe is believed to be from the Roman era and was discovered during a survey of the site. And yes, a potential plumbing system was

Yup, last week our Central Interceptor team got to test out the specially installed gantry crane to trial lifting one of the six pumps at our new Māngere Pump Station 🏗️ The crane will be used to help carefully lift the pumps out of the 40-metre shaft when the team needs to

The tunnelling work on the Central Interceptor may have stopped, but there’s still a tunnel-and-a-half of work to be done before it's ready to help do its bit to reduce wastewater overflows 👀 #tunnel #work #VIDEO

Our team has just finished replacing the pipe bend on the North Shore Pipeline 2. It’s now sitting snugly at the southern end of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, doing its bit to supply H2O to the North Shore💧It’s all part of our work to renew sections of the city’s water

Our friends are building a bridge and we’re making the most of it! 👉 We’re currently working with our mates at NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi to build two new pipelines – one for water, and one for wastewater – that will live under the new soon-to-be-constructed Penlink bridge

Yup, and these boxes or plinths, as we like to call them, are soon going to be holding some pretty important stuff 👉 Our team has been installing new membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) tanks at our Wellsford Wastewater Treatment Plant which are going to treat the wastewater

Testing, testing, testing 🧪 With our new wastewater pump station and two wastewater pipes officially up and running, it’s only a matter of time, and well, tests, before everyone can take a dip at Judges Bay again. Yup, once Judges Bay passes three consecutive Safeswim tests,

We’ve chased waterfalls so you don’t have to 👉 Yup, what better way to ease into the new week than to take a moment to check out this waterfall, shot by one of our dam technicians out at the Upper Nihotupu Dam this morning 👀Thanks to last week’s downpours our dam levels have

… and it comes in the form of steam-cured lining 💨 Yup, our team has been on the tools in Newmarket since the middle of April working to renew part of our wastewater network. The renewals involve steam to cure the new liner inside the pipes. The steam-cured lining method cures

As the Northwest region of Auckland grows, so does something else…the amount of wastewater we need to collect and treat 💩 By connecting the 10km Northern Interceptor, which is between 700mm to 900mm wide, to the Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant, we can spread the load more
