Raglan Wharf maintenance starting mid-August: Council says expect a lot of noise

by A Contributor July 29, 2022

Waikato District Council news

Last year WDC asked for Raglanites for feedback on three projects to transform the Raglan Wharf. The Council has just announced that maintenance work on the wharf will start from mid-August. When this is complete construction of new features will start.

The maintenance repairs are on the underside of the wharf, with the new features being a new pontoon, an eastern walkway, kayak ramp and balustrade.

What to expect while work is underway

The maintenance work is expected to take around three months to complete and the construction of the pontoon six months to complete, finishing in April 2023.

Here is a bit more on what you can expect during this time:

Maintenance work

WDC will be carrying out essential maintenance work which will help to future proof the wharf. This work includes repairing some areas of concrete and steel that have worn away over time on the underside of the wharf.

Safety is important to the Council and to keep contractors and visitors to the wharf safe during construction there will be times when parts of the wharf will be closed.

There will also be a lot of noise produced by these works. This will be limited between the hours of 8am-5pm on weekdays and, when necessary, from 8am-12pm on the occasional Saturday.

WDC says they are working closely with businesses at the wharf and with residents living nearby to manage any disruption during the project.

You’ll be able to visit businesses at the wharf at anytime throughout the construction period.
WDC will be carrying out the work in sections starting from the dolphin pier side of the wharf. They’ll be carrying out the work in sections starting from the dolphin pier side of the wharf.

New pontoon, eastern walkway, kayak ramp and balustrade

If all goes to plan, from September WDC will then start work on the new pontoon, walkway and kayak ramp at the eastern side of the wharf.

To construct the pontoon and eastern walkway, they’ll start by building up the existing sea wall with rocks and then laying asphalt and concrete for the walkway and kayak ramp.

They’ll also use a deep-sea ocean drill to put three piles in place which will hold the new pontoon.

WDC say they’re still in the process of applying for consent to construct the pontoon but, if it is approved in the coming months, they expect to have the walkway, kayak ramp and piles complete before Christmas.

The pontoon itself will be built off-site and then brought to the site by truck and lifted by crane into position early in the new year.

The boat ramp will open at all times throughout construction.

Finally, early next year they will also be constructing a balustrade around parts of the wharf. This will be carried out in stages starting at the western side of the wharf.
