1 February 2024 - An update from David Philipson, General Manager  |   GP Friel Ltd.

Kia Ora, 

Happy new year. I hope you all had a great break and are as excited about 2024 as I am. While I had a bit of extra time on leave the teams on Taranaki St have been pushing on with the project and I’m stoked about the progress that they have made while I was away. This is a quick update about what we have achieved so far this year and a heads up about how the project will look over the next couple of months. 

The Taranaki St Rising Main is a new major wastewater pipe along Taranaki St from Market Lane to Wigan St. This project will deliver a more resilient network for our wastewater and will cater for growth in our city. We are pleased to be delivering this fantastic project for Wellington Water alongside GHD and on behalf of Wellington City Council. 

What next
You will also see our crews start work in Inglewood Place in a few months as our colleagues at Brian Perry complete their work on the Pump Station and we start to complete the connections for this important addition to the pump station network in the CBD.  

As ever, please take extra time for your journeys around the traffic management avoid the area if you can and follow the instructions of our onsite traffic management team. 

Our project is planned to be complete in mid-2025 so we are going to be in the area for a while. We will be putting out regular updates to this mailing list to keep you informed of changes to the site and the progress we are making. Let me know if you would like to be removed from the distribution. 

Feel free to also send this update to other businesses and residents in the area and encourage them to email us their details to be added to our list for updates.  

Please reach out if you have any questions about the work.
