Under the ground

The plans and surveys the site keeps, asked once of the school’s ground — footprints and plan maps, not engineering findings.

• The February 2011 survey drew liquefaction over this point — mapped ground failure — a footprint, not a finding
• On the plan’s flood map — Heathcote River — the managed reach
• On made ground — natural
• The liquefaction model grades it “High Liquefaction Vulnerability” — the 2019 screening study
