Extensive summer maintenance on SH1 Transmission Gully includes resurfacing, drainage, and pavement reconstruction to prepare for winter. Night-time closures and detours via SH59, along with lane closures and reduced speed limits, are causing peak-time delays—so consider SH59 as an alternative route.
January works focus on chip sealing southbound lanes, then northbound, with pavement upgrades near Battle Hill, Rainbow Bridge, and Waitangirua. Road users should observe posted speed limits to ensure safety and prevent vehicle damage from loose chips. Maintenance is expected to continue until mid-February, weather permitting—check schedules and plan for extra travel time.

A drain camera inspection, however, identified underlying damage linked to past earthquake movement. Ageing ceramic pipes had shifted and cracked over time, creating a potential issue that had not yet surfaced.
An existing EQC (now Natural Hazards Commission) claim was still in place. We supported the owner throughout the process, gained approval, and completed the repairs without incurring additional costs.
The drainage system has now been restored and the property made secure.
Not all earthquake-related damage is immediately visible. Regular drain inspections can help identify hidden issues early.
Enviroflo provides complimentary drain checks for those seeking peace of mind.
