The Āpōpō Asset Management Awards—Leadership category has named the “Waikirikiri Selwyn—Leadership in Wai Pipe Network Renewals” one of the two finalists.
With client and partner Selwyn District Council and Infrastructure Decision Support (IDS), Waugh Infrastructure Management Limited is involved in the wai pipe network renewals at Waikirikiri Selwyn.
Here are some excerpts from Āpōpō website:
Waikirikiri Selwyn District Council is a national leader in evidence based wai (drinking water and wastewater) networks renewals. Through a progressive, determined approach, it has achieved one of the most comprehensive programmes. It continues to demonstrate the principles of Te Mana o Te Wai with a One Water, ki uta ki tai approach.
New Zealand’s water sector asset management practices have to improve. With a substantial backlog in investment in water infrastructure, improved renewal planning process are urgently required. Waikirikiri Selwyn’s leadership in adopting the IDS Wai model (drinking water and wastewater networks) has propelled its water planning and asset management improvements to meet international best practice. Their investment in staff capability and capacity resulted in a sharply improved, evidence-based pipe renewals programme.
