Public Infrastructure

ACH Consulting Engineers have recently completed an investigation of the Nihotupu train bridges located in the Waitakere Ranges. An in-depth survey was carried out on these bridges including testing of critical elements. Calculations were carried out to determine their ultimate capacity and safety factors under current various loading arrangements. A full report was subsequently prepared to discuss the findings and outcome and make maintenance recommendations.

ACH Consulting Engineers are currently undertaking inspections, analysis and remedial specification of Auckland’s Water Treatment Plants as part of routine maintenance. The buildings, water retaining structures and equipment platforms are constructed in various materials including steel, reinforced concrete, block, brick and timber.

ACH Consulting were engaged to provide a Drainage Infrastructure report for a proposed subdivision, located in Point Chevalier. This required special considerations as the location meant development may be limited, due to ability to provide stormwater and wastewater service connections.

Our work on this project also entailed providing development plans indicating extent of possible development and preliminary design solutions, as well as an infrastructure report to support the subdivision application.

As part of the Hobsonville Point residential development the RNZAF DBFI (Deployable Bulk Fuel Installation) Building has been recycled as the Catalina Café and opens for business in August 2010.

ACH prepared and lodged a Building Consent Application for the change of use/refurbishment of the building. Read more »
