Hynds Water collaborated with Downer Civil Project Team to provide advice and solutions to the challenges they came across on a Watermain project at Auckland International Airport.
When working on pressure pipelines, compensating for ground movements, seismic activity and vibration can be a challenge for designers and asset owners. Particularly when using rigid pipe materials.
The Hynds Water Team worked closely with one of our valued customers providing water products, advice, service, and timely supply for several Watermain sub-division installations in West Auckland.
Hynds Water were selected as supply partner for this drill shot under State Highway 1 north of Auckland, product included PE pipe, Ductile Iron Fittings Valves and Electrofusion couplers.
Our customer had to complete a cut in of a new valve assembly on an existing wastewater pressure main in a confided space environment, all inside a limited time window.
In 2018, Cyclone Gita caused havoc across the lower North Island. New Plymouth was hit particularly hard, causing widespread power outages, felled trees and landslips and major pipe damage to one of the potable water supplies.
