This Wellington retaining wall keeps council staff up at night
Stuff - Dominion Post: 1-Oct-2022
A central Wellington retaining wall that collapsed and blocked a city street for months was one of more than 200 in a “poor” state, according to the Wellington City Council’s own assessments. Thirty-five other walls were in a worse condition than the one at the top end of The Terrace.
But there is just one that keeps Wellington City Council wall expert Brad Singh up at night: The 200-metre-long, 7.5-metre-high wall above Chaytor Street, the main route in and out of Karori, which is at risk of collapsing in a sizeable earthquake.
