DCC KV3 Project

The Dunedin City Council engaged Signal to manage the third stage of its Kaikorai Valley wastewater renewals programme.  This $7M project comprises the replacement of 1,000m of wastewater trunk main between School Street and Bishopscourt Ground.  The replacement programme is complicated by the location of the trunk main in a planted reserve corridor and in close proximity to residential properties.

The project also included the construction of a new road culvert in School Street to mitigate flooding of residential properties in the area.  The installation of the new culvert was complicated by the presence of a critical underground high voltage cable in School Street.  To allow the construction of the culvert to go ahead, a steel protection structure for the cable was designed and constructed.

Signal has managed the council’s design consultants and budget and been responsible for significant stakeholder consultation on the project.
