Following the major earthquake on 22nd February 2011, Christchurch was in a State of Emergency, with urgent works required throughout the city. SuperSealing were proven performers after successfully completing 2 work programs for the City.

SuperSealing’s task was to help prevent road and pathway erosion that had suffered extensive wash away damage, by providing crack sealing services prior to the imminent wet season.

Safety of work was a major concern, so SuperSealing was also required to carry out Traffic Management for their own work, and also traffic management for a number of other contractors including drain cleaners and other infrastructure contractors.

The Earthquake Commission deemed that no work could start for 3 weeks after the earthquake. This time was used to plan and organise the required resources which included equipment and also personnel.

All personnel were briefed prior to deployment to ensure a safe and quality job was carried out in extreme conditions with aftershocks continuing each day.

Due to the extraordinary nature of the disaster, there were big rips in the road and extensive cracking throughout the City that required repairing.
