Northern Corridor Improvements Project – Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant
Northern Corridor Improvements Project at The Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant, Auckland, New Zealand.
Head Contractor: Abergeldie Harker
Asset Owner: Watercare NZ
Project Scope: An upgrade for Auckland’s Rosedale Waste Water Treatment Plant. Global Pipe supplied HOBAS CC-GRP Jacking Pipe to this project, with pipe specifications ranging from OD1280 PN1 SN32,000 Jacking Pipe and OD1499 SN32,000 HOBAS Jacking Pipe, for a total project pipeline of 1.1km. This project was supplied directly to the tunnelling contractor Abergeldie Harker. All pipe was delivered successfully without any disruptions to the construction schedule.
Project Background: The Auckland Northern Corridor project (also known as the Northern Corridor Improvements (NCI) project) is a major road and infrastructure project connecting the North Shore to the Western Ring Route which directly impacts the Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant is the second largest treatment works in the Auckland region and is among the largest in New Zealand, providing primary, secondary and advanced treatment of effluent for a population of approximately 185,000 people.
Project Planning: Global Pipe worked with the contractor Abergeldie Harker to assess the project requirements and create a seamless transition from planning and specification, to construction and project delivery. Global Pipe’s expert team studied the feasibility of the project to determine the use of HOBAS CC-GRP Jacking Pipe. After reviewing the project’s specifications, Global Pipe found a solution targeted to the project and then detailed the logistical solutions which would ensure the success of the project.
Engineering and Design: Our highly qualified in-house team of mechanical and civil engineers provided comprehensive technical support, engineering and design services at all stages of the Western Treatment Plant project. Global Pipe is supported by the expansive engineering resources of our international manufacturer HOBAS.
Manufacturing and Qualification: HOBAS CC-GRP Jacking Pipe is certified to international standards from ISO, TUV, EN, and ISO9001. To meet these standards, stringent manufacturing inspection and testing is carried out, including raw material qualification, stiffness testing and dimensional verification.
Supply and Logistics: Global Pipe provided a complete transport, freight logistics and warehousing solution to supply the pipes for the project.
Project Management and Supervision: Global Pipe’s team of engineers provided dedicated technical support throughout the project lifecycle and ensured engineering challenges were dealt with immediately to minimise risk and maximise peace-of-mind for all project stakeholders.
Training and Support: Global Pipe provided Abergeldie Harker with comprehensive product support. We provide product technical training information and manufacturer guidelines to all installers and supervisors.
