Sent: Wednesday, 10 March 2021 1:52 pm
Subject: LGOIMA Request - Safety of Hemo Gorge Sculpture
I refer to your third LGOIMA request of 24 February 2021 regarding the Hemo Gorge Sculpture, and respond below as per your email:
(Q1)
I'd like to request a copy of the document "Te Ahi Tupua Baseplate+bolts", dated 2021-02-02.
This is the document referred to in page two of MCEL's Structural Peer Review Report, spuriously dated 2020-02-09.
And based on MCEL's report, it should contain "revised base plate and hold downs calculation".
Document attached (Attachment 1).
(Q2)
I'd like to request a copy of an advisory letter, advisory report or PS4 document regarding the metal base plate, if there is one.
I'm interested in documents written by one or more suitably qualified engineers that clarify whether the metal base plate is acceptable or not.
Declined under section 17(e) of the Act 'that the document alleged to contain the information requested does not exist or cannot be found'.
(Q3)
I'd like to request a copy of the PS4 document regarding the "superstructure".
This is the document referred to in page one of MCEL's Structural Peer Review Report, spuriously dated 2020-02-09.
And based on MCEL's report, it was completed by Gurit.
Document attached (Attachment 2).
(Q4)
I'd like to request copies of the GU6706-6001 and GU6706-6002 design reports, all versions.
These are the documents referred to in MCEL's Structural Peer Review Report and Peer Review Log, revision 2.
There should be at least four reports:
GU6706-6001 B
GU6706-6001 C
GU6706-6002 A (or A1)
GU6706-6002 B
Attached are the first three reports (Attachments 3-5).
There is no GU6706-6002 B report. Reference to this report in the comments under 3.a of the peer review log was a typographical error. This should have referred to GU6706-6002 A1.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this response. Complaints can be sent by email to info@ombudsman.parliament.nz, by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
