Pile installation and foundation works at the underslip site on State Highway 2 Remutaka Hill have continued this week.The piles and foundation are critical elements for the retaining wall, which will restore the road and protect it from further damage.
We have completed installation of 12 out of 15 piles. We expect to complete the final three pile installations next week and begin timber construction for the retaining wall. Rock anchor testing has been completed to ensure the next phase of work remains on track.
Crews will also be busy during the day next week, as they start installing rock anchors to provide extra reinforcement to the hillside.
Our crews have also been completing routine maintenance to make the most of the night-time closures. This has included road resurfacing, line marking, drainage renewals, channel clearing and barrier and sign installations. This helps us get ahead on next year's maintenance schedule.
