Our structural engineers provided expert design consultancy on 706 Te Rapa Road in Hamilton. This 1,465 m² commercial warehouse/workshop and the 150 m² internal mezzanine floor serving as an office space.
The structure boasts concrete tilt-up panels to 3 ¼ sides, with a timber grain finish to the panels at the entrance to the office space, and cold-formed steel portal frames throughout the structure to provide bracing. The design faced unique challenges, such as creating a foundation on timber-driven piles to support the heavy point loads of full-height racking on tricky ground conditions. Tilt-up panels were used, allowing concrete wall panels to be built and cured on-site, reducing transportation costs for the large, heavy panels.
During construction our structural engineers worked closely with KiwiSpanNZ Waikato to provide a time-efficient solutions that satisfied all parties. This Hamilton project showcases the capabilities of our engineering consultants to design versatile and durable structures, incorporating modern techniques like on-site tilt-up panel curing to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
