Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan
1.
Introduction
The City Rail Link (CRL) project comprises the construction, operation and maintenance of a 3.4 km underground passenger railway, running between Britomart Station and the North Auckland Rail Line in the vicinity of Mt Eden Station. The CRL also involves the construction of two new underground stations at Aotea and Karangahape and a redeveloped Mt Eden station (refer to Figure 1-1). The design and construction of the CRL infrastructure between the Aotea and Mt Eden Stations is being delivered by the Link Alliance.
Figure 1-1: CRL Route and Location
This Historic Character Delivery Work Plan (HC DWP) (Built Heritage Section) has been prepared in relation to the main construction works for the new Karangahape Station.
1.1 Karangahape Station The Karangahape Station consists of two entrances, one at Beresford Square / Pitt Street and the other at Mercury Lane, linked together by platforms with two mined tunnels approximately 32m below Pitt Street. The Station will also comprise equipment rooms, ventilation systems and emergency egress at both Mercury Lane and Beresford Square / Pitt Street. Given the nature and scale of the Karangahape Station construction, works will be undertaken in a staged manner, involving: • • •
Early works (demolition, network utility relocation and site establishment works) – to be undertaken from October 2019 through to early 2020; Main construction works (construction of the station and mined tunnels for the rail tracks) – to be undertaken from early 2020 through to late 2023; and Public realm reinstatement – likely to be undertaken from late 2022 to late 2024.
Refer to Section 2 of this HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) for further detail on the Karangahape Station main works. Page 5

Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan
1.2 Historic Character DWP (Built Heritage Section) Staging To reflect the staged construction approach for the Karangahape Station, a series of HC DWPs (Built Heritage Section) are being prepared. This HC DWP addresses the Karangahape Station main works, which are detailed in the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and summarised in Section 2 of this DWP. If required, a further HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) will be prepared to address the station superstructure and public realm reinstatement works.
1.3 Purpose of the Historic Character DWP (Built Heritage Section) This HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) has been prepared to identify measures that will be implemented to mitigate and manage the potential adverse effects on built heritage during the Karangahape Station main works. The objective of this HC DWP is to avoid, remedy or mitigate adverse effects on built heritage as far as reasonably practicable. The HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) addresses the requirements of CRL designation Condition 41 and will be implemented throughout the construction period. It has been developed in consultation with the Karangahape Community Liaison Group (CLG) and has been reviewed by the Independent Peer Reviewer (IPR) prior to submission to Auckland Council (as per designation conditions 7 and 11). A record of consultation outcomes (CLG and IPR) is included in Appendix A. This HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) has been prepared by Matthews & Matthews Architects Ltd and forms part of the CEMP for the main works.

Condition
Relevant section of DWP
46.1
Process for Building Condition Surveys Prior to construction, as a minimum those buildings listed in Appendix One and Appendix Two or identified pursuant to Condition 41.2(b) will be considered for a building condition survey. A building condition survey will be undertaken where it is assessed that there is potential for damage to buildings or structures arising from construction as determined by an independent suitably qualified person appointed by the Requiring Authority based on the criteria below unless the relevant industry criteria applied at the time or heightened building sensitivity or other inherent building vulnerability requires it. Building damage criteria will initially be assessed in accordance with Burland, J.B. (1997) “Assessment of Risk of Damage to Buildings due to Tunnelling and Excavation�. Additional factors which may be considered in determining whether a building condition survey will be undertaken include: (a) Age of the building; (b) Construction types; (c) Foundation types; (d) General building condition; (e) Proximity to any excavation; (f) Whether the building is earthquake prone; and (g) Whether any basements are present in the building.
5.1
46.2
Where prior to construction it is determined that a Building Condition Survey is required in accordance with Condition 46.1, or if measurements exceed the criteria in Condition 33: (a) The Requiring Authority shall employ a suitably qualified person to undertake the building condition surveys and that person shall be identified in the CEMP; (b) The Requiring Authority shall provide the building condition survey report to the relevant property owner within 15 working days of the survey being undertaken, and additionally it shall notify and provide the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring officer a copy of the completed survey report; (c) The Requiring Authority shall contact owners of those buildings and structures where a Building Condition Survey is to be undertaken to confirm the timing and methodology for undertaking a pre-construction condition assessment; (d) The Requiring Authority shall record all contact, correspondence and communication with owners and this shall be available on request for the Auckland Council Consent Monitoring Officer; (e) Should agreement from owners to enter property and undertake a condition assessment not be obtained within 3 months from first contact, then the Requiring Authority shall not be required under these designation conditions to undertake these assessments; (f) The Requiring Authority shall undertake a visual inspection during "active construction" if requested by the building owner where a preconstruction condition assessment has been undertaken. (g) The Requiring Authority shall develop a system of monitoring the condition of existing buildings which is commensurate with the type of the existing building and the proximity of the CRL works. The purpose of

monitoring is to assess whether or not active construction is compromising the structural integrity of the building. (h) The Requiring Authority shall, during the Building Condition Survey, determine whether the building is classified as Commercial / Industrial / School or a Historic or sensitive structure in terms of Condition 33. 46.3
During construction: (a) The Requiring Authority shall implement procedures that will appropriately respond to the information received from the monitoring system. Where necessary this may include the temporary cessation of works in close proximity to the relevant building until such time as measures are implemented to avoid further damage or compromise of the structural integrity of the building. (b) Any damage to buildings or structures shall be recorded and repaired by the Requiring Authority and costs associated with the repair will met by the Requiring Authority.
5.1
46.4
Following construction: (a) The Requiring Authority shall, within 12 months of the commencement of operation of the City Rail Link, contact owners of those buildings and structures where a Building Condition Survey was undertaken to confirm the need for undertaking a post-construction condition assessment; (b) Where a post-construction building condition survey confirms that the building has deteriorated as the result of construction or operation works relating to the City Rail Link, the Requiring Authority shall, at its own cost, rectify the damage; and
5.1
46.5
Where the Requiring Authority is required to undertake building repairs in accordance with Conditions 46.3(b) or 46.4(b), such repairs shall be undertaken as soon as reasonably practicable and in consultation with the owner of the building.

1.5
Sustainability
The Link Alliance is seeking an Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia (ISCA) Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) Rating. Further details can be found in the CEMP and Sustainability Rating Management Plan. Project sustainability requirements that relate directly to this HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) are included in Appendix B. These requirements are imbedded within the DWP to ensure that sustainability is a key focus and ‘the way we do things’. In some cases, the IS requirements and sustainability goals enhance the designation and consent requirements.
1.6
DWP Review and updates
This HC DWP (Built Heritage Section) is a live document that will be reviewed at least annually, or as a result of a material change to the project, or to address unforeseen adverse built heritage effects arising from construction, or unresolved complaints. Any material changes to the HC DWP must be approved by Auckland Council prior to any on-site activity reliant upon the change commencing. Refer to the CEMP for further detail on the review and updating process. Page 9

Built Heritage Overview
3.1
Built Heritage in proximity to the Main Works
Built Heritage potentially affected by the Karangahape Station main works is set out in Table 3-1 below including buildings scheduled in the Auckland Unitary Plan Operative in part (AUP), included in the scheduled Karangahape Road Historic Heritage Area, listed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga and/ or specifically identified in the CRL designation conditions. Appendix C provides further information about these places, including the category of their heritage recognition in the AUP and by HNZPT, and brief historic information.
3.1.1. Karangahape Road Historic Heritage Area The Karangahape Road Historic Heritage Area (HHA) is identified in the AUP Schedule 14.2 (Refer Figure 3-1 below). Heritage buildings that are identified as contributing to the historic heritage values of the area include almost all buildings in Pitt Street, Beresford Square, Karangahape Road and Mercury Lane in proximity to the works. Many of these buildings are also individually scheduled historic heritage places and also listed by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga. The general heritage characteristics of these buildings are as follows: •
• • •
Buildings in proximity to the main works include a range of late 19th to early 20th century commercial buildings, churches, Auckland’s early fire and ambulance station buildings as well as the Mercury Theatre. Buildings are generally two or more stories high, typically unreinforced masonry and likely to be identified as earthquake prone. This area includes some of central Auckland’s earliest buildings, including the Pitt Street Wesleyan Church (1865-1866) and the former St James Church in Beresford Square (1876). There are a number of buildings in this area which include fragile elements such as parapets, chimneys, the tower of the former Fire Station building in Beresford Square, as well as stained glass windows in the Wesleyan Church and leadlight features inside the Mercury Theatre and inside 61-65 Pitt Street.
The Statement of Significance for the Karangahape Road Historic Heritage Area from the AUP includes the following: “The Karangahape Road Historic Heritage Area has significance for its historical association with the commercial and residential development of Auckland, from the time of the city’s colonial establishment through to the mid-20th century. The area retains considerable significance due to the predominance of Victorian and Edwardian-era buildings that have survived modern redevelopment. The decorative physical appearance of these buildings combined with the unity of scale and form reflects the historical pattern of development and creates an urban landscape that is distinctive within Auckland. Despite the many changes that have occurred in the rest of the city throughout the years, Karangahape Road has retained its original purpose, which reinforces its significance as one of Auckland’s earliest and most important commercial and entertainment areas. The character of the area is dominated by the presence of Victorian, Edwardian, and Interwarperiod commercial buildings. The buildings are generally two- to three-storeys and have a Page 11
| Karangahape Station Main Works
Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan verandah that covers all or part of the footpath. These features have maintained the historical pattern of commercial development which define a retail landscape of the early-mid 20th century and reflect the core pattern of development for Karangahape Road. Along the associated side-streets there are more modest early and mid-20th century shops and warehouses that are part of the historical pattern of development and support the area’s commercial importance.�

Overview of potential Built Heritage impacts during the Main Works
Unreinforced masonry buildings in proximity to the main works are likely to be at higher risk from the potential effects of vibration or ground movement associated with the works. These buildings may have soft mortar joints, simple foundations and connections of structural members or limited bracing. It is important to understand the specific building structure, including foundations, fabric and detailing, in order to inform the likely built heritage effects and the methods that will be implemented during the works to avoid, remedy or mitigate these effects (outlined in Section 5 of this HC DWP).
4.1
Vibration
Ground movement and vibration can affect nearby buildings and their foundations, with consequential damage to building fabric and services. Potential damage from vibration can range from cosmetic to minor or major damage. Potential effects on historic structures as a result of ground movement due to vibration include cosmetic or aesthetic effects, such as hairline cracks to surfaces or to mortar joints that might affect appearance, through to changes to building fabric that might affect weather tightness, alignment of windows and doors, or damage to services. Major damage could place buildings at risk in terms of structural stability. For built heritage structures, even aesthetic damage may impact on heritage values, for example if original details or finishes are cracked or damaged, and potentially if inappropriate repairs to such defects are undertaken. A Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Plan (CNV DWP) has been prepared to address the effects of the main works. Some construction activities are predicted to generate high levels of vibration including excavation, compaction, sheet piling and breaking. The CNV DWP notes that: ‘The proposed works have the potential to exceed the relevant construction noise and vibration limits at the closest receivers. To avoid/minimise exceedances it is vital that appropriate mitigation and management measures are utilised. The CNV DWP identifies methods to achieve best practicable option for mitigating adverse effects during the construction works.’1
4.2
Ground Movement
Excavation and foundation work can also cause ground displacement and movement of an adjacent historic structure. Excavation deeper than the foundations of neighbouring historic buildings has the potential for risk. A historic structure, with a shallow masonry footing, may experience corresponding displacement that can result in major structural damage. Managing the risk and potential effects of ground movement or settlement is addressed in the Karangahape Station main works Groundwater and Settlement Monitoring and Contingency Plan (GSMCP).
4.3
Stormwater Drainage
Maintaining a well-functioning stormwater drainage system is essential to the protection of any historic structure. This system can easily be rendered ineffective by construction or demolition work if debris originating at the construction site finds its way to the rainwater disposal system or drains of an adjacent building, with potential to adversely impact on heritage fabric through flooding.

Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan
4.4
Impact Damage
Construction activities have potential to cause accidental damage to building fabric through direct impact from machinery. Appropriate protection and management are required to avoid this.
4.5
Heritage Buildings Potentially Impacted by the Main Works
Section 5.2 of the CNV DWP identifies the buildings in proximity to the main works, including historic heritage buildings, that may be at risk of receiving vibration which exceeds the building damage vibration limits. (Historic heritage buildings in proximity are listed in Table 4-1 below). The estimated effects of settlement arising from the Karangahape Station main works are documented in the Assessment of Settlement Effects (ASE) report, attached as Appendix E to the GSMCP. Table 6.1 of that report identifies buildings and structures, including heritage buildings which require building condition surveys. Building condition surveys are required for the heritage buildings listed in Table 4.1 Table 4-1: Heritage Buildings where Building Condition Surveys are required

Management and Mitigation Measures
Potential impacts on built heritage in proximity to construction activities are also considered as part of the CNV DWP and the GSMCP for the Karangahape Station main works. The performance standards for construction induced settlement specified in the Consent Conditions will be met through the specific design aspects of the main works, along with management, monitoring, mitigation and contingency measures set out in the GSMCP. The methods to be implemented during construction to avoid, manage and/or mitigate potential built heritage effects include: • • • • •
5.1
Building Condition Surveys prior to the commencement of works; Investigations of building foundations prior to the commencement of works; Management, monitoring (of vibration and ground/building movement), mitigation and contingency measures as set out in the CNV DWP and GSMCP; Built heritage protection where appropriate; and Building record and salvage strategy (with respect to the removal of any built heritage items) (refer to Section 6 of this HC DWP).
Building Condition Surveys 5.1.1. Pre-Construction Surveys
Prior to construction, condition surveys of heritage buildings identified in the CNV DWP, GMSCP and/or HC DWP as being potentially impacted by the works (inclusive of those buildings listed in Appendix 2 of the CRL designation conditions) will be undertaken. These condition surveys will ascertain any pre-existing damage to a building, existing structural distress, and any potential weakness of the structure’s foundations or structural elements, as well as non-structural damage. The Condition Surveys will form the basis for recording buildings and recording baseline information prior to works commencing. The building condition surveys will generally be undertaken as follows (in accordance with CRL designation Condition 46): • •
The building surveys will be undertaken by an independent senior qualified person. The survey shall include: o Any information about the type of foundations; o Existing levels of damage (aesthetic, superficial, affecting levels of serviceability); o Whether observed damage is associated with structural damage; o Susceptibility of building or structure to further movement; and o Photographic evidence.
With respect to built heritage, the building condition surveys will generally include: • •
•
Page 29
A survey of the exterior and interior of heritage buildings. A record of the condition of buildings using photographs, annotated drawings and written records, noting any existing signs of structural distress and damage or deterioration of a non-structural nature. Consideration of the stability of any elements, including applied decorative elements or features, and any fragile elements.
| Karangahape Station Main Works
Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan •
•
Any recommended remediation to secure or mitigate potential problems prior to the commencement of construction, based on consideration of the heritage character and detail of the building. The location of all cracks greater than 2 mm in aperture width, which shall be recorded with a positional accuracy of +/- 200mm. Installation of grid crack monitors may be required on selected readily accessible cracks with an aperture width greater than 2 mm discussed above and as determined in consultation with the Built Heritage Specialist.
The condition surveys shall generally include: •
• • • • • • • •
An introduction with overview of the premises, record of when the inspection was made, orientation notes for viewing photos and captions, summary of the scope of inspection, purpose of report and any limitations, any areas not accessed; A description of the property construction, based on a visual inspection and review of available architectural drawings and property information obtained from Council; A summary of existing damage and susceptibility to future damage; Site plan; Annotated plans, elevations and sections that relate to the photographic record; Floor plans if available; Burland building damage classification matrix; Pre-Construction Condition Schedule, with description, visible damage evident, damage category recorded and photograph reference; and Annotated photographs recording building condition. This should include general exterior and interior views as well as photographs of specific defects.
The pre-construction condition surveys will be reviewed by the Project Built Heritage Specialist, prior to works commencing.
5.1.2. Surveys during Construction As set out in the CNV DWP, building condition surveys may be undertaken during the construction works in the event that complaints in relation to building damage are received or if the vibration criteria set out in the CRL designation conditions are exceeded. In addition, as set out in the GSMCP, the Link Alliance shall carry out visual inspections of the surrounding ground and external building facades of buildings for which pre-construction condition surveys are required (in accordance with the CNV DWP) adjacent to the main works to monitor any deterioration or movement of any pre-existing cracks. In addition to visual inspections, the GSMCP requires continuous measurement of any ground surface or building movement during construction (refer Section 5.2.1 below).
5.1.3. Post Construction Surveys Post-construction surveys shall comprise a repeat of the required elements of the pre-construction survey so that a direct comparison can be made. In accordance with CRL designation Condition 46.4, building condition surveys of those buildings or structures that were subject to a pre-construction building condition survey may be undertaken post-construction of the early works. Where a postconstruction building condition survey confirms a building has deteriorated as a result of the works, the damage shall be rectified by the Link Alliance. Page 30

Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan
5.2
Monitoring and Management Measures 5.2.1. Monitoring Instrumentation
Based on the results of the pre-construction building condition surveys, and in accordance with the GSMCP, geotechnical and structural monitoring instrumentation will be installed on surfaces of, or nearby to, existing structures. In some instances, this will include instrumentation installed within the property as well as on the external surfaces of the building with the property owner’s consent. The purpose of this instrumentation will be to measure/monitor any movement, settlement, tilt, strain and induced vibrations as a result of the works which may have the potential to adversely affect the structure. The instrumentation will be installed prior to starting the construction works.
5.2.2. Vibration monitoring and management Vibration mitigation and management, based on a Best Practicable Option (BPO) approach will be implemented during the works as outlined in the CNV DWP, including undertaking building condition surveys (refer to Section 5.1) and monitoring prior to and during construction. Site Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plans will be prepared for buildings where vibration levels are predicted or measured to exceed the vibration limits set out in CRL designation Condition 33 (refer to Section 5.3 of the CNV DWP). Regular monitoring and assessment of vibration levels will determine the process to be followed and any required action to mitigate and manage any potential effects, as set out in Section 8.2 of the CNV DWP. If vibration monitoring demonstrates non-compliance with the vibration building damage limits the construction activity responsible for the exceedance shall cease as soon as safe and practicable to do so. Construction methodology, mitigation and management strategies will be reviewed, advice will be sought from a structural engineer and a detailed building condition survey shall be undertaken by a suitably qualified engineer. Any damage to buildings or structures shall be recorded as set out in Section 9.3 of the CNV DWP. Recording shall include photographs and relevant annotated plans, sections and elevations to show the major features of the buildings including location, type, construction, age and present condition, including defects (cracks). A report will be prepared summarising the findings of the survey and recording.
5.3
Protection Methodology during construction activities
Table 5-1 outlines the methodology to be implemented to protect key features of historic (and other) buildings against construction activities undertaken adjacent to, or in close proximity to these buildings or historic streetscape elements. Table 5-1: Overview of Protection Methodology
Built Heritage Feature Exterior building fabric and surfaces
Page 31
| Karangahape Station Main Works
Protection Methodology Where works will be undertaken immediately adjacent to these features, appropriate protection such as plywood sheets or temporary fencing to a minimum of 2 metres high will be required.
Historic Character (Built Heritage) Delivery Work Plan Canopies and overhangs
Fragile exterior or interior building elements
Historic streetscape elements
Establishing the operating requirements of equipment to be used in relation to the dimensions and structure of existing canopies and avoiding impact from machinery movement through use of appropriate equipment and observation while works undertaken under or adjacent to canopies. Appropriate bracing or protection for features such as stained glass and leadlight windows, chimneys, parapets, if vibration or ground settlement will be likely to put these at risk. Elements, such as basalt kerbs, or basalt blocks inset into the footpaths shall be carefully removed if required, prior to or during the works and stored for reinstatement at an appropriate time following the completion of works. Cellar lightwells should be retained and protected with plywood as required during the works.
Protection measures shall be reviewed by the Project Built Heritage Specialist prior to works commencing and periodically during the works.
5.3.1. Managing Maintenance Works to Heritage Buildings during the Construction Works The construction team will work with building owners to facilitate necessary building maintenance and repair works during construction. The Karangahape Communications and Engagement team will arrange the process to manage maintenance works.
5.4
Rectification Methodology
The building condition surveys, and assessments and monitoring/management methods outlined in Section 5 of this HC DWP will be the vehicle for any discussion around the need for rectification works. In addition, it is likely that rectification discussions will be undertaken on a case by case basis when the post-condition assessments are undertaken.
