We can accommodate large concrete pouring jobs, with over 1,000m3 of continuous pours. Some of our recent projects include the Parakiore Recreation and Sports Centre in Christchurch and Shirley Boys & Avonside Girls Highschool.
Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre is intended to be the largest aquatic and indoor recreation and leisure venue of its kind in New Zealand, and will be accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and skill levels.
At over 30,000m2, Parakiore Recreation and Sports Centre will feature a fifty metre, 10-lane competition swimming pool and a separate diving pool, large aquatic leisure area, five hydro slides, fitness spaces and nine indoor courts for sports such as netball, volleyball, and basketball. The facility would cater for the needs of the recreational, educational, and high-performance sporting communities.
Volume: 15,725m3
Duration: 3 years
Challenges: A series of large raft pours challenged the Christchurch
There was a high demand for large pours and required skilled planning of resource, both in material and plant.
Volume: 7500m3
Duration: 9 months
Challenges: Providing large pours and being as flexible as possible in booking times when challenges such as engineer sign-off of foundation preparation failed, putting pressure on our client to re-book as soon as possible. There were complicated waterproof mixes required and our plant engineer had heavy involvement as well as our additive supplier.
Volume: 11,000m3
Duration: 2 years
Challenges: This project consisted of several different mixes. There was a show-piece polished concrete area where aesthetics was paramount. The exterior area was delivered directly from the chute of the truck with no pump at a rate of up to 90m3 / hr.
