An infrastructure report evaluates existing networks for roads, water, wastewater, stormwater, power, and telecom, assessing capacity, identifying upgrades, and guiding development planning and compliance.
Infrastructure refers to Roading, Wastewaster systems, Water supply, Stormwater piping, detention, and treatment, Telecom, electricity and Gas supply together which create the physical network necessary for housing and commercial developments.
The development and upgrading of such networks is required for both the intensification of existing settlements and for the redevelopment of new towns and cities. And consequently, appropriate levels of such networks is required in order for Council to permit new developments. There are many examples of where insufficient planning of infrastructure has created disasters.
The preparation of an Infrastructure report examines the existing networks, assesses it's capacity against future or planned redevelopment levels and identifies areas where upgrading is required, and any constraints or limitations on future upgrades. The extent of the report is determined by the scope and extent of planned development and the intensity of the existing networks.
Birch Engineers and Land development experts work with infrastucture providers such as Local Authorities and utility providers to determine and map the existing networks and hence it's current capacity. They then superimpose future demand, to calculate shortage or surpluses and consequently determine the extent of upgrading required.
These reports can either complement a proposal to redevelop an area, or alternatively be undertaken as part of a wider assessment of future upgrading in growth areas. As part of many developments in various parts of Auckland, Hamilton, Pukekohe, Tauranga and the Coromandel around Tairua, our Engineers can assist the Birch team with the preparation of these reports.
Infrastructure includes roading, wastewater systems, water supply, stormwater management, telecommunications, electricity, and gas networks. These systems form the essential physical backbone for residential and commercial developments.
Infrastructure reports assess the capacity of existing networks and identify areas that need upgrading. They help developers and councils ensure that new developments can be safely and efficiently supported by essential services.
An infrastructure report examines current networks, evaluates their capacity against planned development, identifies constraints or limitations, and provides recommendations for necessary upgrades to meet future demand.
Birch works closely with local authorities and utility providers to map existing infrastructure and calculate capacity. Future demand is overlaid on this data to determine shortages or surpluses, guiding the scope of any required upgrades.
Yes. Reports can be used to complement proposals for redeveloping an existing area or as part of broader assessments in growth areas, ensuring that infrastructure can support intensified or expanded land use.
Birch engineers prepare infrastructure reports for developments across the upper North Island, including Auckland, Hamilton, Pukekohe, Tauranga, and the Coromandel region around Tairua.
