The SCIRT Learning Legacy was developed by the team as a means of sharing the considerable body of knowledge developed during the rebuild of earthquake damaged pipes and roads and to assist future disaster recovery efforts in New Zealand and abroad.
This site continues to be viewed by thousands of people every year, and many individuals involved continue to share personal experiences from this period, benefiting others facing similar challenges.

The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT) was a virtual organisation created in 2011 to rebuild Christchurch’s earthquake-damaged horizontal infrastructure. SCIRT’s job was to provide a cost-effective and efficient vehicle to quickly get the city’s civil infrastructure back on its feet.
SCIRT’s $2.2 billion five-and-a-half year programme was funded by the New Zealand Government and Christchurch City Council. It involved more than 700 individual projects across the city repairing and rebuilding underground sewage, stormwater and freshwater pipes, rebuilding wastewater pump stations as well as roads, bridges and retaining walls.
