Aroha, the Corban Reserve Stormwater Upgrade Project’s micro-Tunnel Boring Machine (m-TBM), outdid herself by breaking through at the inlet shaft in Henderson, Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) this week!
Behind the m-TBM, 235 precast pipes were laid using pipe-jacking methods from Border Road Reserve to 18 Imperial Place. The project team is thrilled Aroha completed the 685-metre journey in less than two months, just in time for a well-deserved summer break.
It will be a busy start to the new year with re-grading works in the two reserves taking place; Murillo Reserve, Upper Waitaro Stream and Border Road Esplanade will be upgraded with new landscaping, boardwalks, and paths.
The project is on track to be completed by mid-2023.
