SCIRT Learning Legacy

dc.description

The sequence of earthquakes that occurred in Christchurch and wider Canterbury during 2010 and 2011 resulted in very significant damage and disruption to the Christchurch horizontal infrastructure networks.

In response, Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT) was formed and is responsible for repairing and replacing Christchurch's three-waters (water, wastewater and stormwater), roading and bridge networks, as well as some retaining walls and stopbanks.

SCIRT is an alliance between Christchurch City Council, Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), City Care, Downer, Fletcher Construction, Fulton Hogan, and McConnell Dowell.

The SCIRT Learning Legacy project was initiated in collaboration with UC QuakeCentre, Resilient Organisations and UC CEISMIC, in order that all the learnings from SCIRT's earthquake repair and replacement programme are captured, documented, and disseminated.

dc.title: Jennifer Middendorf's Blog: Diary of a Kiwi Bookcrosser
dc.description: Entries from Jennifer Middendorf's blog, "Diary of a Kiwi Bookcrosser: Littering with intent to cause libraries" (http://www.deardiary.net/futurecat/). Jennifer lives in Burnside, and at the time of the earthquakes was the administrator for the English Department at the University of Canterbury. She writes, "My blog is mainly written for the benefit of friends and family scattered around the world, and its focus is very much on the trivial - cats and crafts feature strongly. But, as for everyone in Christchurch, the earthquakes for a long time were at the centre of my consciousness, and my blog entries reflect that." Note that the blog posts have been converted to PDF format for archiving, which has in some cases resulted in changes to the formatting and layout of the page. Some images and other elements have been removed for display or copyright reasons. Additional pages from http://futurecatnz.livejournal.com/ have been appended to some posts, where entries were cross-posted to both blogging sites.

Pipe Damage Assessment Tool (PDAT)

dc.description

A pipe damage assessment tool (PDAT) was developed to give a risk based prediction of pipe condition to avoid the need for a CCTV survey of every pipe in the city.

With more than 2,500 km of storm water and wastewater pipes needing to be assessed for damage before design work could start, SCIRT needed to develop a fast, cost-effective way of determining pipe damage, without having to Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) survey every pipe.

SCIRT's Asset Assessment and GIS teams developed a pipe damage assessment tool (PDAT) that predicted the structural condition of pipes that were not CCTV surveyed.

The PDAT used a range of key damage indicators to predict pipe damage, including CCTV completed on other pipes in the area, pipe material and age and land damage indicators.

SCIRT found the PDAT accurately predicted the conclusions of a CCTV survey for 75% to 95% of the pipes in a catchment network based on CCTV samples of 5% to 30% of the total network.

Glossary terms:

CCTV: Closed-circuit Television
PDAT: Pipe Damage Assessment Tool
RAMM: Road Assessment and Maintenance Management (software)
LPI: Liquefaction Potential Index (assesses the damage potential of liquefaction)

Canterbury Cultural Collections Recovery Centre

dc.description

The Canterbury Cultural Collections Recovery Centre (CCCRC) was set up following the devastating Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, during which many museum buildings in Canterbury were damaged or destroyed. The Air Force Museum of New Zealand's extension was built to house aircraft and large objects for conservation, but since the earthquakes is being used temporarily for the restoration, storage and rehabilitation of heritage and cultural collections.

This collection provides an insight into the challenges and benefits of providing safe and secure premises for the region's collections, many of which are nationally and internationally important.

dc.title: LUXCITY
dc.description: Material relating to a Transitional Cities project, titled 'LUXCITY'. The project description reads:
LUXCITY, the opening event for the Festival of Transitional Architecture (FESTA), was a city made from light for one night. Over 350 architecture and design students from across New Zealand designed and constructed 16 installations that used light to create spaces for pop-up functions: bars, cafes, live music venues, an all-ages youth venue, a night market and a fashion installation. The whole of Christchurch was invited to return to the currently vacant city centre October 20th to enjoy and experience this unique urban atmosphere. Between 20-30,000 people turned up to the first major event in the central city since the February earthquake.
The designs used light in conjunction with large-scale demolition machinery to create structures that were ephemeral and dealt with the vastness of the urban scale. LUXCITY addressed the potential of transitional projects to stimulate collaboration, explore a range of architectural possibilities, and regenerate the central city, and created excitement and hope for the city's burgeoning recovery.
