Ground and water investigations will provide more insights on the landcape for detailed design.
From Monday 9 August 2021 we will be testing and monitoring the ground and water conditions in the Penlink corridor. The monitoring will be completed by December 2021. The findings from the investigations will help us better understand the land conditions, the strength of the ground and the water quality.
You may find us out and about from late July preparing for the investigations.
The physical investigations will involve heavy machinery such as machine drilling rigs (photo), machine bore holes and flight augers. This means that on some roads in Stillwater and the Whangaparaoa Peninsula you will see our contractors for traffic management during the investigations.
These roads include State Highway 1 and East Coast Road close to Redvale, Ara Weiti Road, Duck Creek Road, Cedar Terrace and Whangaparaoa Road.
We will also use a helicopter to move machinery to the areas with no road access. More information on this operation will follow in the next couple of months.
The investigations will have minimal disruption for day-time traffic and traffic flow will be maintained at all times. You can find more information on the investigations at www.nzta.govt.nz/penlink.
