Miyamoto New Zealand

After two years, they are almost at completion of the seismic upgrade of 13-27 Manners Street, Wellington, and have installed 90 dampers across the first 9 levels to provide a low-impact, highly resilient tower designed to withstand a 1-in-1,000-year earthquake event. Works will soon start on the façade for the ground floor and level one, with the complete fit-out of the entire building to follow. When reopened, the building will host a mix of retail, offices, a café or restaurant, and five apartments.   Thanks to National Association of Women in Construction NZ (NAWIC) for arranging this informative site visit and congratulations to the teams at Miyamoto New Zealand, Workspace Architects Ltd, and Keyway Construction for their work on this project and for contributing to the safety and resilience of Wellington’s CBD environment. #SeismicDesign #EarthquakeConstruction #EarthquakeResistant

What is a Heritage Renovation? It helps restore and preserve historic buildings, keeping their original charm alive while adapting them for modern use! It’s all about honoring the past and building for the future. We specialise in preserving the history and character of iconic structures while bringing them up to modern standards. From improving seismic performance to updating utilities, our engineers ensure that these landmarks continue to stand strong for future generations. . . . . . #structuralengineering #heritagerenovation #historicpreservation

We’re celebrating team milestones! A huge thank you to Alejandro, Charles, and Greg for their combined 22 years, being key players in the Miyamoto team. We’re indebted to them for their commitment.

We're excited to share our work on the extensive refurbishment and structural upgrade of 13-27 Manners Street, a landmark office tower in the heart of Wellington. Our team, led by the Technical Director of Structural Engineering, Dr. Amir Moshref, has developed a state-of-the-art retrofit solution using Performance-Based Engineering (PBE) principles. Our PBE approach focuses on specific performance objectives, enabling us to surpass the current New Building Standard (NBS). The upgrade features the installation of 90 dampers, each capable of resisting 200 tonnes of force, to minimize building movement during seismic events. Key highlights of the project: 🌍Designed to withstand a 1-in-1,000-year earthquake event 🏢Immediate occupancy after a 1-in-500-year event ⚡Targeting a 5-star NABERS rating for energy efficiency 🌿Significant embodied carbon savings compared to new construction We're redefining seismic resilience and sustainable building upgrades with our pioneering application of Performance-Based Engineering (PBE) principles.

Our groundbreaking Manners Street strengthening project in Wellington, led by our expert engineer Dr. Amir Moshref, was recently featured on Seven Sharp. We're thrilled to showcase our innovative Performance-Based Engineering (PBE) design approach that not only ensures tenant safety but also contributes to the overall resilience of the urban CBD environment. By incorporating 90 state-of-the-art dampers into the building's design, we've created a low-impact, highly resilient structure that surpasses current standards, including C5 guidelines. This cutting-edge technology provides a high seismic rating while offering significant cost and time savings compared to traditional strengthening methods.
