This project examined New Zealand engineering lifelines activity, its level of integration in road controlling authority management practices, and its relationship to the resilience of roading networks to natural hazards.

The New Zealand Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Act (2002) requires all lifelines, including the road network, to be able to function to the fullest possible extent during and after an emergency, and that lifeline providers have plans for s…

Road networks are lifelines for the community and are essential for the social and economic well-being of New Zealand.

This report presents the findings of the monitoring programme undertaken by GHD at Snake Hill (SH1 RP 144/11.34), a road slip site which was stabilised using graded gravel column drains.

As one of the outputs from the Transfund research project Standardisation of Design Flows and Debris Control Intake Structures, the purpose of this report is to provide further information for the bridge and culvert designer on hydrological approache…

A methodology has been developed, based on a study carried out in 1998–99, to assist in selecting optimum slope-failure preventive maintenance programmes for highways.

A North American method for establishing an optimised slope-failure preventive maintenance programme for use by roading authorities has been identified and trialed by way of a case study, to determine its application to New Zealand roads.

This study, carried out in 1998, investigates hazards that have the potential to close the Desert Road, which traverses for some 60 km the Central Volcanic Plateau of the North Island, New Zealand, at around 1000 m altitude.
