State Highway Stormwater Specification

The Transport Agency has released the draft State Highway Stormwater Specification for internal and external consultation.

This work was initiated on the back of updating the Technical Appendices in SM031 ‘State Highway Construction Contract Proforma Manual’ back in January 2015. The Transport Agency’s Environment and Urban Design team has drafted this specification, together with input from a group of internal and external people with expertise in stormwater management on state highways.

Feedback on the draft is being sought before this specification is finalised and rolled out to staff and suppliers. Information about the specification and a quick survey is available at the below link. You are also welcome to send feedback to environment@nzta.govt.nz.

The feedback period will close on December 18 th 2015, after which the final document will be prepared and released.

The New Zealand Transport Agency is holding a Transport and Stormwater workshop in Auckland on 2 December for those who wish to learn more about and discuss the two projects that the agency has recently commissioned. Find out more about the workshop here.
