Nelson City Council - Pipeline Installation Section 5-7 Kotua Pl, Elms Street & Railway Reserve - RFT - 27 Feb 2023

Nelson City Council (Principal) is seeking to procure a contractor to carry out works on our community’s infrastructure. To achieve our objectives we are looking for solutions which meet our Council values and mandate, core to this is care and respect for our people.

The wastewater flows from the Richmond, Brightwater and Wakefield catchments collect at Beach Rd PS and are conveyed by the Nelson Regional Sewerage Business Unit (NRSBU) through their network of rising mains to the Bell Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing network does not have sufficient capacity to convey the current peak wet weather flows, and this results in frequent overflows to the environment during wet weather. These pose a risk to public health and have a detrimental impact of the environment and community.

A duplicate pipeline is proposed to increase capacity of the network. Section 5-7 is the section of new pipeline between Beach Rd and Saxton PS from Saxton Creek through Kotua Place, Elm St and Railway Reserve to Saxton Rd. In addition to the sewer rising main a secondary smaller diameter pipeline will be installed to enable future conveyance of recycled waste water.
