Te Puna School Wastewater System Upgrade

There are 5 existing septic tank systems with associated effluent fields on the Te Puna School site, plus a new ‘temporary’ holding tank with high-level alarm near Block T (Hall).
All these systems are at the end of their design life and there are no discharge Resource Consents for these systems.
WBOPDC has granted approval for the school to connect to the existing Omokoroa Sewer Transfer main located in Borrell Road at the southern end of the school site.
A new reticulated sanitary sewer system for the school has been designed. The system includes an on-site pumping station. This RFT is seeking a head drainage contractor to undertake all the work required to decommission the existing septic tank systems and fully install the new wastewater system including the on-site pumping station and connection to the Omokoroa transfer main. The head drainage contractor will be responsible for the entire scope of works including other trades if / where required.
