Wastewater Renewals Framework - Gravity Pipelines

One key output from the Pipe Renewals programme is the Wastewater Renewals Framework – Gravity Pipelines guidance document. This has recently been published and is available from the Quake Centre’s resource portal or Water New Zealand. This guidance has been developed by Philip McFarlane from WSP-Opus with input from a wide range of industry players.

The Renewals Framework developed in this document provides a structured process that organisations can use to plan renewals. The Framework shows how organisations can use existing data in a meaningful way. Importantly, the Framework can be scaled and modified to suit the needs of an organisations.

The Renewals Framework draws on processes and information described in the International Infrastructure Management Manual, New Zealand Asset Metadata Standards (NZAMS) and the University of Canterbury Pipeline Renewal Programme. While this document is closely aligned to the NZAMS, the advice provided can be applied independent of the NZAMS.

World Water Day Walk for Water 

Postponed until 5 April 2019

The Walk for Water Challenge, sponsored by Water New Zealand, will now take place on Friday, 5 April. Organised by Engineers without Borders as part of International World Water Day, the event was postponed from 22 March due to it coinciding with the Auckland remembrance vigil for people affected by the tragic events in Christchurch.

The 60 participants will now face their challenge – carrying 20 litres of water for 6 km around the Auckland CBD - on 5 April. EWB Chief Executive Dane Hart says he hopes that this will help focus attention and raise awareness about the difficulties many people in the world, particularly women and girls, face each day in order to access drinking water.

Please go to the Engineers Without Borders website for more information.
