Matsons Avenue - investigation works

What

We’ll be working on the road investigating the location of underground services.

Why

These works will confirm what is under the road. This will help us to plan the most efficient construction approach for several large projects in the area from late 2024.

Where

Matsons Avenue (between Harewood Road and Condell Avenue), Papanui.

When

8 April 2024 for approximately three weeks. Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm (weather/site condition dependent).

Contact

The contractor is Isaac Construction. Phone Peter Chum on 027 236 6279 or email communications@isaac.co.nz. Please advise Peter if you have any specific property access requirements e.g. medical visits, large deliveries, home help and any planned works.

Details

We'll be doing some investigation work on Matsons Avenue (between Harewood Road and Condell Avenue) from Monday 8 April for up to three weeks.

This will be part of an investigation works package that will also include Aorangi Road and Condell Avenue.

This work will help us plan the most efficient construction approach for the following projects:

  • Matsons Avenue and Aorangi Road wastewater renewal
  • The next stage of the Nor'West Arc Cycleway
  • Matsons Avenue & Aorangi Road kerb and channel renewals
  • Condell Avenue street renewals

Investigation work is required to understand the underground service locations and condition, as well as any potential clashes or risks to construction.

Construction of some of these projects are not programmed to begin until later in 2024. We'll provide more information closer to the time.

As these projects are located in the same area, we're using this opportunity to combine our investigation work.

Investigation work is also to start on and around Harewood Road. This will take around five weeks, from Monday 25 March to Friday 3 May. We know this work can be disruptive, and we appreciate your co-operation and understanding.

Traffic impacts

Work will take place Monday to Friday from 7am to 6pm.

The majority of the work will happen during these hours. There is the possibility a small amount of work will need to be done after 6pm or overnight. Another works notice will be issued with details if this is required, and we’ll contact affected residents and businesses directly.

Information for residents and businesses:

  • Access to properties and businesses for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained around the work site where possible.
  • We’ll help people get around the site. Please advise our team if you have specific requirements e.g. medical visits, large deliveries, home help or any planned works.
  • At times, we’ll need to remove on-street parking to allow space for the works, and to keep everyone safe.
  • There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, and we’ll do our best to keep this to a minimum.
  • The work will have no impact on any services such as water, electricity, telecommunications, and gas.
  • The timing of the work and certain activities will depend on the weather and the roads. We’ll provide updates if there are changes to the planned works.
  • Please put your bins out as usual by 6am on your collection day. Our team will move them and return them if needed.

Information for road users:

  • Temporary traffic management (road cones, signs) will be installed as part of the works. There may be some traffic delays and changes to traffic management. Please follow all signage and instructions from our team onsite.
  • We’ll put a number of traffic management layouts in place to keep our team safe while we complete this work.
  • These will include reductions in lane widths, shoulder closures, stop go and the temporary removal of on-street parking in the working area.
  • A 30 km/h speed limit will be in place so we can keep our team and everyone safe.
