Waimakariri Flood Protection Projects

Contract Duration:

2010 – 2019

Contract Description:

MBD Contracting collaborated with Environment Canterbury Regional Council on the Waimakariri Flood Protection Projects, a commitment that extended from 2010 to 2019. During this period, we successfully completed 11 segments of the overall project, a value of over $20M

Contract Achievements:

The purpose of the project is to reduce the risk of flooding in Christchurch City and in the Waimakariri and Selwyn districts.
The project work comprised of:
– upgrading 35km of existing primary stopbank
– construction of 25km of secondary stopbank
– 8km of rock armour placed along various parts of the Waimakariri River

Working out of the West Coast region was a fresh and exciting opportunity for the company, allowing us to establish a relationship with Environment Canterbury and gain exposure to a different aspect of the industry.
