Outfall pipeline inspection complete
“Council contractors have now completed a walkthrough inspection of the 18km main outfall pipeline to identify any pipe or joint defects. The walkthrough has confirmed that the pipe is in good condition and that there are no structural issues.
“The crack found two weeks ago in a short length of the pipe at Rimu St, Eastbourne was the result of damage caused by nearby trees rather than any structural issues. The area of pipe has been excavated and repairs are nearly complete.
“Increased ventilation allowed the pipeline to dry out before the walkthrough. This made it easier for contractors to identify any weeping or dampness that would indicate a potential fault. A number of joint defects have been identified and are now being sealed using internal seals.
“Once this work is complete, the pipeline will be returned to operation.”

· We are delighted that the concept plans for the Bus Barns upgrade will be completed in time for presentation to the HCC LTCCP Committee. We think a good outcome is possible.
· The Board has requested that funding for this Bus Barns upgrade ($2.5m.for 2010) and maintenance included in the Draft HCC LTCCP be retained. We have also requested the inclusion of funding to complete the landscaping.
· We are pleased to see Information Boards in place, the site tidy, the Bus Barn sharpened up and the landscaping underway. We have also just been advised that a contract has been signed for the engineering works associated with the overall landscape plan, and work on that should start shortly. All that is missing now is the picture of the refurbished Barns!
