The Bombay Service Centre is on a triangular site just off Auckland’s southern motorway and is being developed in several stages. MSC was involved from the early stages of this project, including civil concept design and resource consenting as part of a wider consultancy team.
With a lack of mains water supply or sewage disposal on the site, the design work included the treatment of bore water and on-site effluent disposal fields. The existing stormwater pipe for the area, running under the motorway, was inadequate to cope with additional flows from the development, so MSC engineers provided detailed stormwater calculations and designed on-site rainwater tanks, water reuse and water retention ponds to manage stormwater flows from a quality and quantity perspective. The initial designs and resource consent application took into account future possible amendments to the development; careful thought and engineering design was applied to the infrastructure to future-proof it against potential changes.
As the client and Waitomo (which has built the first stage petrol station) made changes to the original layout for the site, MSC provided additional civil resource consent inputs for both the developer and Waitomo. As Stage 2 progressed MSC continued to work with the developer to lodge information with Council for amendments to the resource consent obtained for the whole site, as well as documentation for building consents and contract documentation. MSC was also engaged to oversee stage 2 construction.
