Borehole drilling starts at Lighthouse Road site

Investigations are continuing to understand potential remediation options for land instability affecting Lighthouse Road and surrounding area in Akaroa.

Borehole drilling began today (Monday 30 June) to give a better knowledge of the groundwater conditions and the makeup of the land beneath the ground surface.

These insights will inform the planning and design of potential remedial measures to help with land instability that occurred following the significant rainfall at the start of May.

The borehole drilling is expected to take about one week, depending on the weather conditions. It is being carried out in areas identified as requiring further investigation following mapping of surface features and geological modelling.
