Cassidy Construction was a key contractor involved in civil and construction works at Watercare’s new Pukekohe Water Treatment Plant. Our role included demolishing and removing the decommissioned 1970s treatment plant, as well as installing new slabs, plinths, concrete channels, ducts, drainage and retaining, and completing general construction works to facilitate installation of the new modular treatment plant.
Because the new plant was urgently required to provide water to the Auckland region, we faced the challenging situation where we needed to begin construction before the design was complete. To avoid complications later in the construction process, we worked alongside specialist electrical and mechanical engineers and Watercare designers to ensure the new design was buildable within the existing site facilities and confines.
In consultation with NIWA, we constructed a weir to monitor the volume of water being discharged from the local spring and bores. We discovered that the plant provides up to five million litres of water a day from two bores about 270 metres below ground, making it the fastest and most cost-efficient water produced in New Zealand.
