Oldfields tackle Structural Repairs in the Masterton District
Oldfields has been awarded a contract for the Structural Repairs for the Masterton District Council. The sites are located on a section of the Blairlogie Langdale Road that is known as Kerosene Ridge. The road is the main access to Riversdale Beach settlement and a large farming area out on the East Coast. The road is reasonably narrow, with a history of instability with many slips and dropouts that are continually moving. Oldfields along with their subcontractors Darlington Drilling and Piling, are charged with constructing seven structual retaining walls. The project involves driving some 236 rail irons deep into the unstable areas, then attaching some 1500 metres of wooden timber facings over the seven sites. Tie backs are then constructed using D16 Reinforcing Rod which is attached to more irons that are driven into the existing road to complete the tie back structures. Drainage against the walls, along with excavation and backfilling of the slip failure scarp is also part of the project. Where this occurs, Reinforced Earth Construction using Green Terramesh units combined with Geogrid are constructed to provide additional pavement stability.
