Keeping Christchurch moving [rebuilding infrastructure]

The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT) is the construction alliance established following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake to rebuild the City’s horizontal infrastructure to pre-earthquake levels. As a result of the earthquakes, the extent of the damage caused and the transportation and mobility challenges that the city is facing during the rebuild are presented. The horizontal infrastructure rebuild is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016 and estimated to include: 1. Over 500 km of wastewater pipe replacement, 2. 1000 km of road repairs, 3. Repairs to over 90 bridges and 400 retaining walls 4. Extensive repair of the city’s stormwater system. This presentation will look at the collaborative effort invested in SCIRT’s transport planning and traffic management to keep the 1200 person on-the-ground workforce busy rebuilding the city’s horizontal infrastructure over 180 concurrent work sites, including 70 road closures. This presentation will show the tools developed to ensure work can proceed on-time and the travelling public is kept up to date on changes to the transport network. Close working relationships with the Christchurch Transport Operation Centre (CTOC), SCIRT contractors, local businesses and the community are an integral part of achieving behaviour change around work sites and by commuters, with the goal of keeping Christchurch accessible and vibrant during the rebuild.
