CentrePort hosts the latest community tour of Seaview

On the 26 February, CentrePort hosted members of the Eastbourne Community for a tour of the wharf and ongoing works at Seaview. 

The tour was an opportunity for community members to get a close look at the work that's going on, which CentrePort us undertaking in partnership with Brian Perry Civil to make the wharf earthquake resilient, fit for lower-carbon fuels and able to accommodate different types of vessels.

Gabriela Koneski from Brian Perry Civil led the tour from a technical perspective, while representatives from CentrePort and Hutt City Council were there to answer questions.  

Thanks to members of the Point Howard and Lowry Bay communities for your continued support.

Successful Cut and Tie-In for Stage 3a

During March, 170m of new pipeline was successfully installed as part of our ongoing efforts to improve future resilience through the Seaview project.

To connect the new pipe to the existing infrastructure at the terminal, the existing pipe was cut, with the new pipe subsequently tied in. Fuel has since been successfully received through this new section of pipeline, with no disruptions to supply experienced during this period.

A big thank you to all of the team at both Energyworks and SBA Civil for completing this work in a short timeframe, with the work under the former rail crossing on Seaview Road proving particularly challenging.

Next Steps

The remaining work for stage 3a will be completed by early May, which includes reinstating the trench, kerb and pavement for the rail crossing. Once this is completed, traffic management will be removed, allowing normal traffic flow on Seaview Rd to resume. The Seaview Rd Caltex truck stop will re-open Wednesday 1 May.
