    ENGCO are thrilled to have undertaken the structural & civil engineering for the six-storey Library Chambers project in Ōtautahi as part of a great collaborative team led by Aaron Boddington. We are excited to see work start on this project later this year. For this project, selecting a high-performing lateral load-resisting system was an important client requirement. Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) were chosen for their reliable seismic performance, aesthetic appeal, and simplified repairability of the building after a ULS seismic event. Due to the impending changes to the National Seismic Hazard model, we advised our client to carry out a Site Specific Seismic Hazard Analysis to future-proof the building against upcoming seismic load increases. The project also had various other complex structural challenges that required innovative solutions. Some examples include the cladding panel sliding details to accommodate seismic ULS drifts, detailing to support the aluminium façade and the PLT mezzanine floor area.   Aaron Boddington Architecture Studio CoreBrace

    Dedication to getting the job done! One of our structural engineers, Jack, biked up through the rugged terrain to conduct a structural inspection of the new Erewhon Hut at Mt Potts in the Hakatere Conservation Area. With its steel subfloor frames bolted onto rock and timber SED shear walls, this hut has been designed to provide a welcome respite for adventurers for conditions up to 300km/hr winds and 5m of snow.

  • Great to see this iconic Queenstown project coming along well.

    Exciting news! Our team at the Queenstown Research and Innovation Centre project is thrilled to announce the completion of structural steel and concrete floor slabs – a major milestone achieved! The next phase will see the fixing of roof cladding and curtain wall façade, while internally, the basement tenancy fit-out is underway with the installation of wall framing and services. A special thanks to all our amazing Trade Partners!

    Te Ara Pounamu, the Pounamu Pathway in Mawhera Greymouth opened at the end of last year, on time and on budget. This was the best example of collaboration we have witnessed, covering all aspects of communications, tasks orientated, network driven and client and community centric. To be in the middle of this wider team was an absolute treat. We thank the client Pokeka Poutini Ngāti Tahu LTD & Te Ara Pounamu Limited for their trust in us. The team included some usual suspects in ENGCO Consulting Engineers for structure and comprised Sam of SMART Project Management LTD, Tony and Megans Wikins from Tony Wilkins Builders, Wētā Workshop Ltd (the experience is mind blowing) and the cultural artists Mahana Coulston, Fayne Robinson beautifully fabricated by Brent Brownlee of Art Fetiche. These guys simply deliver what they promise.  Inside Tonys team Glen Mesman of Aotea Greymouth , Janine Branje of Hush Interiors Ltd and Colin Waterman of Coast Decorating, added their expertise and advice. The manufacturers included Red Stag Timber, Gray Brothers Engineering and James Mizen of Fabric Structures. The comms, frankness and execution was simply exemplary. The canopy encapsulating the building in form of a pake or cloak was schemed by Laura from our creative team. It comprised more than 1500 components, excluding fixings and fastenings, was manufactured off site in 5 locations and, yes fitted like a glove. The modelling initiated by Rachel of our team was refined by Samuel Richard Leslie of Red Stag TimberLab and developed by the wider team, with Mike Cusiel of Engco playing a major hand. I’m personally finding it harder to move on from this project. It was simply a dream.  #masstimber #masstimberconstruction #offsitemanufacturing #dfma

  • Another great project we are very proud to be part of, working on seismic modelling and designing the propping for all vertical and lateral loads

    Regional Manager (South Island) at Altrad RMD New Zealand - Engineered Formwork, Falsework & Propping Services

    This one has been a really interesting project where Altrad RMD Kwikform have been tasked with the technical challenge of supporting the suspended floors and roof of the Ivy West heritage building at LincolnUniversity NZ to allow internal and external walls to be removed and repaired whilst keeping clear access to the workspace inside. Our engineers worked closely with Cook Brothers Construction (CBC) & ENGCO Consulting Engineers on the seismic modelling of the building and designed the propping for all vertical and lateral loads. The high capacity Tetrashor props allowed us to have a minimal propping footprint in each room with our large range of Megashor, Rapidshor and Slimshor componentry enabling us to create the huge spans, link the props and connect to the building. This streamline design has allowed work to be undertaken on all workfaces at the same time to help keep up with the construction program. More info on the project can be found here - https://lnkd.in/gBV36YEA

    The Regent building is a four-storey Two-way concrete filled SHS moment frame structure in the centre of Christchurch. This impressive building with an equally impressive façade is a great contribution to the Christchurch cityscape. The two-way concrete filled SHS moment frames was the nominated system to maximise the floor area, and remove bracing behind the façade. It allowed for an incredibly quick construction time of 12 months for the base build, coming up faster than most houses these days. There were many complex engineering challenges which required innovative solutions, particularly around the detailing of the two-way moment joints and the façade support detailing. Well co-ordinated drawings and early contractor engagement meant that all these were resolved prior to construction. Working with a great team led to a successful delivery of the project.

    It was our pleasure to provide structural design services to Esther and Josh to help them achieve their New Brighton dream home which was recently featured on Grand Designs NZ. The structure was modelled in 3D using Revit. We worked closely with the team at Weir Architecture to help bring the 3-D model to life for the Perriam family. The exterior walls are 4m high precast concrete, which allowed for fast construction but also proved to be a challenge for foundation design on top of a sand hill in TC2 ground conditions on a long, narrow building site.
