Kia ora neighbours,
We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well as New Zealand enters another - hopefully brief - Covid-19 lockdown period. Please note that construction work continues on site throughout Level 3, with all staff following strict health and safety protocols.
This update provides an overview of the key work activities across our Karangahape Station construction sites for the coming weeks, as well as an overview of progress to date.
D-wall construction, which has been a major focus of the project since mid-July 2020 has now finished. We have completed all 26 D-wall panels in Mercury Lane and the last of the 30 D-wall panels in Beresford Square was poured on Saturday (13 February). D-walls are the actual station walls.
The D-wall panels at Mercury Lane range in depth from 15 -31 metres and in total 2700m3 of concrete was used to create the station box (the perimeter walls), with an average of 104m3 per panel.
In Beresford Square the panels range from 22 – 40 metres, with 1200m3 of concrete used in total.
The diagrams below shows the layout of the station boxes.
