Project File
Vector is undertaking an undergrounding project on Benbow Street, St Heliers. We are coordinating works with Telecom, and the overhead power and telephone lines will be replaced with underground cables at the same time. Auckland City Council will also be installing new streetlights as part of this project.
Streets affected by this work include: Benbow Street
Project timing: August – September 2010
Hours or work: Hours of work are expected to be between 8:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday, though work outside of these hours may be needed to suit project operational requirements.
Project details:
All customer power and phone lines within the area of works that are a single span will be undergrounded. We will also underground power lines down shared driveways for the first span.
The project work will be carried out in sections throughout the area and should only directly affect the road frontage outside each property for a small amount of this time.
The power supply in the area should not be affected by the work, except for when the change over from overhead to underground service to a property is required. A short power outage will be needed for each property to complete this process. Customers will be consulted with in advance.
To ensure a safe and smooth flow of traffic, full traffic management plans are in place for the area. The work sites have been designed so that pedestrians will still be able to pass by the works. In most cases, the directional flow of both traffic lanes will be maintained.
Every effort will be made to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this project may cause and thank you for your cooperation while this work is underway.
