Riverbank Road Wastewater Pump Station
Tender Overview
About this tender
The current Wastewater terminal pump station at 1 Riverbank Rd, Otaki, was constructed in 1980s, and has operated for more than forty years and is now reaching the end of its effective service life. The pumps are scheduled for replacement and also required an enlarged wet well and increased pumping capacity to meet current and future demand. The existing structure was also built prior to modern seismic design requirements. To address these limitations and support future growth, a new terminal pump station is inevitable hence proposed for construction. This procurement plan seeks approval to engage a contractor for the upgrade of the existing wastewater pump station (OSP0012) at Riverbank Road, Otaki. The upgrade of the terminal pump station will result in a significant long-term investment in the reliability and performance of Otaki’s wastewater network.
