Just saw some clown burnt down the One NZ site in Wadestown - such muppets 🤦‍♂️

Link?

Someone did a video on insta - burnt to a crisp. One’s outage page reflects it too.

Pretty sure the TMP/TTM for that site ran into the tens of thousands of dollars!

TMP/TTM?

I think they're Traffic Management terms (the first one could mean Traffic Management Plan).

TMP/TTM?

Apologies, A bit of jargon and various acronyms 😅

- TMP (Traffic management plan) i.e the plan itself, the permits/conditions from relevant local road authority etc

- TTM (temporary traffic management) i.e the resources to do the job such as the signs, cones, crews etc

One of the challenges with Wellington (and I'd imagine quite common across NZ) is lack of roading diversity and resilience...when one main route is closed, the traffic has to be shunted elsewhere...which causes headaches/dramas and unfortunately the price goes up too...the more that needs doing, the more it usually costs. If I recall correctly this site is on a 5way intersection, and we were very lucky to be even able to do the pole stand during the day time...this site was upgraded maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

Quite often encounter job sites where we want to close a lane or even the road and it's squarely on Wellington City Council road corridor, but we have to get NZTA involved (or vice versa) as it will affect traffic flows.

Despite the traffic management this ones going to be a pricy one...Id say the whole pole itself will need changed, I doubt the consultant engineer will want to sign off/put their name against reusing the existing. Doubtful, the supplier will have another spare pole sitting on the shelf somewhere too!

Lias:

What he'll probably get is a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket, zero reparations and home detention.

Probably, more like a slap on the ankle with chunky bracelet!
