Waimārama Beach safety (closes 10 May 2024) 2024-2034 Long Term Plan (closes 27 May 2024)

McVicars Culvert

McVicars Culvet

Key points for consideration

  • Flooding: The existing culvert has historically blocked regularly (even with engineering controls) and the design focus is to allow residents access shortly following these events.    
  • Location: The bridge is approximately 53km North-west of Napier which introduces challenges getting plant and materials to site.
  • Project timeline: The goal is to deliver a permanent repair to the community by early 2025.

Background

McVicars Culvert is treated as a bridge due to the waterway area under the road being large. The existing bridge consists of two 1 metre diameter culverts that pass under the road.

The road at McVicars Culvert has been washed away three times in recent memory, most recently in 2018.  

Bridge length 2m
Span arrangement Two 1m diameter culverts
Culvert length 34m
Carriageway width 7m
Lane arrangement Dual lane

Approximately 3m of road was washed away during the cyclone. Earthworks have been completed to allow road users to pass. Access may be limited during heavy rainfall. 

Design considerations

  • Re-use of existing structure
  • Cost-effective solutions
  • Location of site/access to site
  • Frequency of flooding
  • Earthquake considerations
  • Following best practice engineering guidelines and standards
