In late November 2008 seepage from the Tekapo canal reached a point which triggered the requirement for immediate protection works.
This work included;
- Construction of buttresses to reinforce the canal walls including culvert extensions and installation of subsoil monitoring drains including the installation of seep monitoring structures.
- Geotextile Fabric was also placed into canal lining/sealing zones.
- Some of the specialist plant included a long reach excavator (18m reach), along with articulated dump trucks, bulldozers, screening plants and excavators.
- Our plant and staff worked extended hours and we received high praise from Meridian Energy for their quality and dedication.
- Geotextile Fabric was placed into canal lining/sealing zones.
