Details

The existing timber-lined drain on the boundary of 180 and 190 Maces Road in Bromley was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes and requires renewal to improve the level of service and alleviate flood risks to the surrounding businesses.

Works will include full replacement of the timber-lined box drain with a steel sheet pile design, reshaping of the existing bank and replacement of the steel mesh boundary fence.

Please find key information about this work below:

  • Access to the site will be strictly controlled and fully fenced, with no unauthorized entry permitted.
  • Truck access and egress will occur via both 180 and 190 Maces Road until 28 February 2025.  During this period, a traffic management plan will be in effect adjacent to 190 Maces Road, with parking restrictions in place 10 meters south and 30 meters north of the drain.
  • From 28 February 2025, access/egress will be from the 180 Maces Road.
  • The works will involve the use of an excavator to drive sheet piles into the ground.  This process will generate noise and vibrations, which are expected to be noticeable in the surrounding area.  Every effort will be made to minimize disturbances, including adherence to local noise regulations and operational hours.
  • The timing of the work is dependent on weather and road conditions so we will provide regular updates during construction.
  • Work will have no impact on any services such as electricity, telecommunications and gas.
