During the Corridor Access Request (CAR) process, contractors must:

  1. Obtain service plans and verify service locations in the road corridor before commencing any excavation works.
  2. Notify Selwyn District Council of the commencement of works.
  3. Submit a Works Completion Notice upon completion of the works (template available at the bottom of this page).
  4. Provide photographs prior to starting any works and photographs of the completed works.
  5. Submit testing results, including but not limited to:
    • Compaction tests
    • Pressure tests (for pipework, where applicable)

Only once all of the above documentation has been received by the Corridor Manager will the works enter the two-year maintenance period.

Failure to complete these within 10 working days will require these to be inspected and incur additional site inspection fees
