Hutt City Mayor Ray Wallace and Hutt City Deputy Mayor and Wellington Water Committee Chairman David Bassett recently visited the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant to check in on the progress of the ground improvement works currently under way.
“It’s incredibly important that key infrastructure such as the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant has the capability to operate as normal following a large quake,” said Mayor Wallace. “It’s brilliant to see that innovative techniques like this being used to make our communities more resilient, without interrupting day-to-day operations at the plant.”
Ground Engineering experts, Mainmark Ground Engineering, have developed this non-invasive ground improvement and liquefaction mitigation technique, Terefirm™ Resin Injection, which can be applied under existing structures. Wellington Water’s Seaview project team has likened the technique to “botox for the ground”.
Improving resilience isn’t just about being prepared for a large earthquake or disaster, it’s about repairing and recovering quickly. With the goal of having the plant continue to operate following a large earthquake, it’s important that we create strong foundations underneath existing structures, which will allow for reduced re-build efforts and a quicker return to full operation

- Tips for small laundries
Open shelves make everything easily accessible and save on cupboard door clearance space.
Front-loading appliances allow for more bench space and are more water-efficient.
If you can, build storage all the way to the ceiling to maximise your use of space.
“Fold-out ironing boards might seem clever but it’s nicer to be able to move the ironing board around, eg to a warmer part of the house in winter,” says Lucy Sargent from Pocketspace Interiors. Install a tall, skinny cupboard or recessed shelf for your ironing board, and don’t forget a designated shelf or cubby for the iron.
A mirrored splashback reflects light and makes small spaces feel larger. Glossy cupboard finishes have the same effect.
- A few space-saving extras
A rail for hanging damp or ironed clothes.
A suspended laundry rack to fully utilise spare ceiling space.
A pull-out shelf for resting the laundry basket on, or for folding clothes.
Pull-out hampers for easy dumping and sorting of clothes.
Under-shelf storage to make use of every centimetre of space.
