A tricky proposition
Overview.
The seismic upgrade of the building at 30 Waring Taylor Street was always going to be a challenging project.
Our involvement.
As a historic building it has a façade that can’t be altered, and being on a smaller street between Lambton and Customhouse Quays makes the logistics for truck deliveries and cranes difficult. A third factor is the neighbouring buildings hard against it on two sides, which makes access difficult and adds to the complexity of the work.
The outcome.
Our work was lauded by SCNZ as we won the inaugural SCNZ Awards 2022 under Seismic Strengthening category
