A document that describes a case study on how SCIRT has been designed to create an environment that delivers high performance.
In November 2013 and May 2016, the Office of the Auditor-General examined how effectively and efficiently the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), the New Zealand Transport Agency, and the Christchurch City Council were reinstating horizontal infrastructure through the Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team (SCIRT) alliance.
The aim of the audit was ensure that public entities were operating, and accounting for their performance, in line with Parliament's intentions.
Under this brief, in November 2013, the Auditor-General concluded that:
A report which details the findings of a performance audit carried out by the Office of the Auditor-General to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of arrangements to repair Christchurch's horizontal infrastructure.
A report which details the findings of a follow-up performance audit carried out by the Office of the Auditor-General to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of arrangements to repair Christchurch's horizontal infrastructure.
When weighing up wastewater asset rebuild options, SCIRT designers made decisions on a "whole of life" basis. To help decision-making, a Net Present Value (NPV) analysis was used.
NPV is a fundamental calculation required to assess project options by providing whole of life costing analysis that enables SCIRT to make reliable decisions about which options provide the best value.
The methodology was originally designed to evaluate wastewater network options but was subsequently applied to other asset rebuild option evaluations, including structures and roading options.
A design guideline which provides guidance to designers on how to carry out a whole of life evaluation of rebuild options.

A pipe damage assessment tool (PDAT) was developed to give a risk based prediction of pipe condition to avoid the need for a CCTV survey of every pipe in the city.
With more than 2,500 km of storm water and wastewater pipes needing to be assessed for damage before design work could start, SCIRT needed to develop a fast, cost-effective way of determining pipe damage, without having to Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) survey every pipe.
