Surveying services provided included completion of a topographical site survey, obtaining a Resource Consent for subdivision from Manukau City Council, setting out and asbuilting of services, roads and dwellings. On completion of the dwellings, staged unit title subdivisions were completed.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Civil engineering involved design and construction observation of all services for the 45 lots:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Earthworks plan including for new roading with access from Mirrabooka Avenue<\/li>
  • New extensions for public stormwater, and wastewater throughout the site. (Collection of stormwater runoff from the internal roads via suitably placed catchpits was a key component on this sloping site)<\/li>
  • Reticulation of a new 100mm firemain and associated meters<\/li>
  • Reticulation of a new water main for servicing each lot<\/li>
  • Liaison with Vector for transformer, power cables to service each dwelling, and for low level \u201cowner-friendly\u201d street lighting<\/li>
  • Liaison with Chorus for design of phone cable layout and ensuring coordination of construction together with water main construction<\/li>
  • Roading and associated footpath design, including for pedestrian access to Botany Road.<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    While construction of services was carried out early in the project, final kerb\/channel construction and a new reinforced concrete road throughout the site was staged to be just in advance of the 9 stages of dwelling construction.<\/p>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Three protected trees were incorporated into the overall design to provide an established look \u2013 they have enhanced the overall appearance of the development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
