Southeast Riccarton Wastewater Renewal

JFC successfully delivered one of Christchurch City Council’s largest single-contractor wastewater renewals, covering over 7 kilometres of critical infrastructure across the densely populated Riccarton area. This project required extensive upgrades to ageing wastewater networks in a highly urban environment, with close proximity to major commercial hubs such as Riccarton Mall, busy Riccarton and Blenheim Roads, and in a highly populated residential area. JFC employed innovative construction methodologies, particularly in the integration of large “bigfoot” manhole structures within constrained urban corridors. Precision re-benching and mainline reconnections were carried out with minimal disruption, showcasing our ability to deliver technically challenging solutions in confined spaces. The project was successfully completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
