Porirua City Council - PatakA Spine Seismic Upgrade

Our Role: Project Manager and Construction Coordinator

IR Group took responsibility for the delivery of the construction phase of this complex, seismic upgrade project. The work involved coordination of ten specialist contracting firms along with PCC staff and contractors to install new foundations and rigid steel frames within the spine of the building to bring the structure up to the latest seismic standards. The work was done while the council staff and members of the public continued to use much of the building. Complex internal works involving demolition, excavations, piling, and installing large steel frames including site welding and hot works made the project a real challenge. In working closely with the contractors and carefully monitoring progress, we able to deliver the project on time and within the budget.
