Piako River Left Bank Ngatea to Puhunga Stopbank Upgrade

⁠⁠⁠Waikato Regional Council (Council) invites tenders for the Piako River Left Bank Ngatea to Puhunga Stopbank Upgrade (ID26719) project consisting of the upgrade of 1102m of stopbank to design crest level. This project is receiving funding from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) as part of the COVID19 economic recovery “Shovel Ready” stimulus.

Council is looking for credible contractors who have the capacity, capability, experience and resources to deliver this project on time and within budget. Contractors need to have a good track record on health and safety and environmental management.

This is an opportunity to be part of Council’s upgrade of its flood protection assets, which are vital to protecting our Waikato communities. These stopbanks are part of the Piako River flood protection scheme providing immediate protection to residential and commercial properties and farmland adjacent to these stopbanks.
