- Damage to the Visitors Centre in Kaiapoi, after the September 4th earthquake. The foundations have lifted at the back of the building, giving it a forward lean. Cables have been attached to the balcony over the walkway and braced to posts cemented into the ground. This is to stop the building from slumping further.

- The footpath in front of a building on Williams Street. As the building subsided it took part of the path with it. This gives an idea of how much this commercial building sank due to liquefaction.

- A crack between the river bank and the footpath near the Williams Street Bridge in Kaiapoi. This crack has now largely been filled in. The visible gap shows how much the land slipped towards the river during the earthquake.

- The old Railway Station clock tower on Moorhouse Avenue with plywood and steel reinforcement covering two sides, and a crane hanging over top. The brickwork suffered extensive cracking during the earthquake making it in need of reinforcement. The clock has stopped at around 16:35, the time of the earthquake.
