A brief overview of transport and the context within which transport is provided in the Ruapehu District.

Recognising the significance of scour (ie channel erosion, in all its forms) as a cause of bridge damage, a screening methodology for assessing and ranking New Zealand bridges in terms of their susceptibility to scour is presented.

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.

Geosynthetic-reinforced soils (GRS) have been found to be cost-effective compared to traditionally used retaining structures in specific situations.

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.
