This Contract is for the upgrading of a section of Hill Road in Belmont, Lower Hutt. The existing road layout is of a typical 2 lane 2 way hill road as found on the western hills of the Hutt Valley and doesn't currently include any formal pedestrian footpath facility. The new layout will be that of a formalised and consistent wider road, with a dedicated pedestrian footpath and improved drainage.

Work will involve site clearing, excavations, a retaining wall, new pavement, kerb and channel, storm water drainage, carriageway surfacing, footpath construction and associated works.

The chip seal surface section of the pavement is to be resealed approx. 12 months after completion of the works as Separable Portion B, with resealing undertaken between the months of November & February.

In terms of the specified surfacing, no alternative product to the specified SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt), will be accepted.

In keeping with this philosophy, Contractors are expected to achieve the highest standard of performance on all aspects of this project. Testing shall be carried out to ensure that quality standards and specification requirements are achieved.
