Taupo District Council: Mangakino
In May 2015 we undertook a project to clean and inspect over 11kms of storm water pipes in Mangakino, a small town in the north of the Taupo district. This was a great opportunity for us to break in our brand new iPek Rovion RX130 CCTV camera system, and to test our new custom built Hydro-jetting truck.
Mangakino was built in the late 1940’s to house the hundreds of workers for the construction of the nearby Maraetai Dam. It was only ever meant to be a temporary town while the dam, and other proposed dams close by, were being built.
