TONKIN & TAYLOR LTD<br />

<strong>Environment</strong>al and Engineering Consultants<br />

• Auckland Future Bulk Water Supply Options Study<br />

Auckland Regional Council, 1995<br />

Senior Hydrologist<br />

As part of the 1995 study of future bulk water supply options for Auckland, evaluated the water resources<br />

and dry weather flows from small streams in the greater Auckland Region for a variety of drought standards<br />

and residual flow options.<br />

• Blowing Point Dam Feasibility<br />

Mid-<strong>Canterbury</strong> Irrigation Enhancement Society<br />

Senior Hydrologist / Hydraulic Engineer<br />

Assessed, to feasibility level, the hydrology of the South Ashburton River dam option (130 million m 3<br />

storage) to augment irrigation supply from Rangitata Diversion Race. Potential hydropower from the<br />

proposed dam and augmentation of the energy output from the Highbank Power Station were also<br />

investigated.<br />

• Mangakahia River Irrigation Consents<br />

Mangakahia Irrigation Committee, 1992-1994<br />

Project Manager and Hydrologist / Hydraulic Engineer<br />

Managed a study of low flows and environmental effects for proposed large scale pasture irrigation in the<br />

Mangakahia River catchment, Northland. Presented expert evidence in the consent hearing and,<br />

subsequently, in the Planning Tribunal in support of applications to extract water. Landmark decision<br />

subsequently awarded in applicants’ favour.<br />

• Kakanui / Waiareka River Irrigation Study<br />

Senior Hydrologist<br />

Responsible for hydrological analysis and dam storage modelling for the Kakanui/Waiareka River<br />

irrigation project (Otago) to establish storage requirements and sensitivity to residual flow criteria. Onriver<br />

storage, off-river diversion storage and pumped diversion scheme options were investigated.<br />

Hydro-electric Power<br />

<br />

Patea Hydroelectric Power Scheme Re-consenting<br />

TrustPower Limited, 2005–2008<br />

Senior Hydrologist<br />

Responsible for hydrological investigations and effects assessment in support of the application to renew<br />

consents for this 65m high dam which has a 31MW power station on the Patea River in Taranaki. Review<br />

of flood hydrology, the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) and capacity of spillways. Dambreak hazard<br />

assessment and mapping for both flood-induced failure and sunny-day failure. Review of historical<br />

operation and consent compliance, and effects of daily peaking on river flow regime.<br />

<br />

Project Aqua<br />

Meridian Energy, 2000–2004<br />

Team Leader Hydrology and Hydraulics<br />

Project Aqua is a cascade-type hydroelectric power scheme based on the Waitaki River, with an innovative<br />

low profile river intake, 64 km of canals and six power stations. The design flow is 340 m 3 /s with<br />

generation capacity of 530 MW, and an annual output of about 3200 GWh. Project responsibilities (at<br />

preliminary design phase) included:<br />

- Co-ordination of all hydrological and hydraulic design aspects<br />

- River intake, canal intake and river outfall design<br />

- Hydrology and assessment of long term flow trends<br />

- Morphological aspects at river intake and outfalls, and assessment of bed and suspended load<br />

- Preliminary assessment of hydroenergy output and peaking potential<br />

- Assessment of overall scheme hydraulics, including transient conditions, and headlosses<br />

- Interaction with various environmental consultants, particularly with regard to fish and habitat<br />

protection, and with Electrical & Mechanical consultants.<br />
