Following the recent wild weather, hundreds of culverts across the Tasman District have been blocked – causing major disruptions to our road network. But thanks to the awesome efforts of the Tasman Alliance Storm Recovery crews, many of these vital drainage systems are flowing again.
Armed with shovels, excavators, their bare hands, and specialist culvert jetting equipment, our teams have been digging deep – literally – into the mud to blast away debris and restore critical infrastructure.
It’s dirty, tough, and often cold work, but our crews are out there every day, clearing culverts and identifying those that need replacing due to storm damage. We’re not done yet – the work continues across the network, and we’re committed to keeping our infrastructure safe and resilient.
Massive thanks to our storm recovery teams for their dedication and muddy determination! It’s not pretty work, but it’s pretty damn important work, that’s for sure.
