COVID-19

❖ WWL incurs cost of 5-week Suspension and further delay (no Force Majeure provision in NZ3910) ➢ Further week delay to remobilize and implement facilities ➢ Not covered by insurance ❖ Productivity impacted on resumption with level-3 / level-2 protocols ➢ NZ Construction Industry Standards ❖ Supply chain constrained and likely to slow project: Spares, parts, equipment ➢ Uncertain how international supply chain recovers ❖ Cost of suspension and recovery to yet be determined ➢ Looking to NZ Construction Industry. No precedents ➢ Impact of COVID-19 to be determined during 2020/21 year per Final SOI

Rockfill: The Geology Challenge

Waimea Water Ltd 12

▪ Embankment trials late December 2019 and early January 2020 identified Rock degradation

Heavily broken down– Not free draining Less broken down– Free draining Expected and Needed Discovered

25/06/2020

SLIDE 13

Rockfill: The Geology Challenge

Waimea Water Ltd 13

▪ Discovering more argillite (mud / siltstone) (~70%) and less greywacke (sandstone) than expected ▪ Greywacke (sandstone) dispersed amongst predominant argillite. Difficult to salvage. (VIDEO) ▪ Fissile argillite showing tendency to break along insipient foliations ➢ Spillway Excavation: “May yield a minimum of 350,000 m3 of rock that will consist of slightly weathered to weathered (Class 1 & 2) greywacke.” (2014). Predominantly fissile argillite ➢ Need to find suitable drainage material from alternative sources (cost)

25/06/2020

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Design: Rezoning embankment to manage geology

❖ Expect less harder class-1 material ❖ Testing in early 2020 identified breakdown on compaction  Increase drainage layers  Alternatively source drainage rock

Design: Spillway modified for improved resilience

Waimea Water Ltd 15

2009: 5-9 2012: 10-14 2017: 15-17

Design modifications due to recent learnings from international spillway incidents (international standards)  Oroville (right) failure due to poor drainage and anchoring detailing (pressure beneath fn velocity)  Whaley Bridge (UK) no drainage and poor slab detailing combined with poor maintenance Modifications for resilience (requested by CIIL):  Drainage reviewed and upgraded  Anchoring design reviewed and upgraded Additional modifications driven by topography and encountered geology.

Design Update

✓ Spillway: ▪ Redesigned with vertical walls to mitigate topography / geology risks RHS ▪ Increased drainage per recent standard ▪ Completed and peer reviewed

Design Update: Other items

Mechanical and Electrical ❖ Not designed or priced at commencement

  • f work

 Provision Sum challenged  To be priced ~3rd Quarter 2020 ▪ Progressing detailed design  Switch to single outlet pipe aiming to realise cost savings  Modifications for future hydropower installation

Power Generation: Opportunity

Enlarge Reservoir / Powergen ▪ Fuse Gate to utilise 2.3m / 5m of flood reservoir ▪ Activate in event of large flood say 1:10,000 yr AEP (55% - 70% of PMF 1094 m3/s) ▪ + 1.5Mm3 storage to ~15Mm3 (15%)  Storage increases powergen utilisation  Increase resilience to droughts / growth / demand
