The project included the disestablishment of three historical wastewater treatment plants and approximately 1,000 septic tanks and their replacement with a new centrally located wastewater treatment plant at Capamagian Drive, Waihi Beach.
Katikati
Installation of new wastewater reticulation for new development areas and the upsizing of reticulation through the developed area of Katikati, as well as the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant.
Omokoroa
Construction of a gravity wastewater system which pumps the collected wastewater via a pretreatment site and 14.5km rising main into the neighbouring Councils (Tauranga city Council) wastewater system, connection in Bethlehem and onward to the Tauranga Chapel St wastewater treatment plant.
Te Puke
The installation of new wastewater reticulation for new development areas and the upsizing of reticulation through the developed area of Te Puke and the significant upgrades and expansion to the Gordon Street Wastewater Treatment Plant in Te Puke. The upgrades doubled the treatment capacity of the wastewater treatment plant due to the population growth of the town and was supported by a 35-year Resource Consent.
Maketu/Pukehina
Early conception assisted in the analysis of options and engagement of technical advisers and specialist contractors. This project was completed after Ted left Western Bay of Plenty District Council, and was completed in 2012 for $16 million.
Ted is one of only a handful of water experts in NZ with the required skill sets and experience to manage large scale and highly complex projects like these.
