Hamilton section: We are bridge piling in the Mangaone Stream Gully at the southern end of the Hamilton section. This involves a 100-tonne crane driving 18 steel casings up to 40 metres into the ground using a 10-tonne weight. We will be piling at the southern end of the bridge for approximately 5-6 weeks. The bridge abutments will then be built before the piling team returns at a later date to drive the remaining 18 piles. Mangaone Stream is between Matangi Road and the Southern interchange. |
