24-039 Hinemoa Stormwater Pump Station Upgrade version #02

WDC is inviting requests for proposals to construct a new stormwater pump station located in the Hinemoa Stream between 109 Landing Road and James Street School. The new Hinemoa Stormwater pump station will be critical for the protection of homes and businesses in the western part of Whakatāne during intense storm events.
stormwater is collected and pumped (via the existing Hinemoa Pump station) to the Whakatāne River from the Hinemoa Stream. The existing pump station’s location is unsuitable for the required upgrades to increase pumping capacity due to its size, site location and this location being required for future roading upgrades.
The new Hinemoa pump station will be largely constructed in the stream bed giving a low profile with discharge pipework running under the property at 109 Landing Road through an easement to discharge over the existing stop bank into the Whakatāne River. The new station will replace the existing stormwater station located adjacent to the Hinemoa Bridge which is to be decommissioned and removed as part of this contract.
The project also includes stormwater reticulation along Henderson Street and Armstrong Avenue to address localised flooding during heavy rainfall events.
