Standard engineering details

July 2009

Transport standard engineering details are issued by Auckland City Council, for use by developers, consultants, contractors, service / utility operators, and others working in the road, footpaths and associated drainage services. They are provided to establish minimum standards of work, to ensure that there is no reduction in the asset condition, or length of useful service life of the roading asset.

These standard engineering details are for all work as of 1 July 2009.  This is a living document and the most recent copies of all sections of the document are available in pdf format below for you to download and print.
