Pipe quality sketchy

The new pipes being put under Gloucester St at its Glasgow St intersection in an inground services upgrade may have to be replaced, Whanganui District Council senior stormwater engineer Kritzo Venter says. The contractor has reported a quality issue with the pipe materials, and the pipes are being tested. Pipes in an area of 6m around the intersection may have to be replaced.
