7 George Bellew Drive, Christchurch Airport (CIAL)

Completion: In construction (expected late 2019)

Architecture: Structex (warehouse) & Sheppard + Rout (office)

Construction: Apollo Projects

The Martin Brower Distribution Centre is a new storage and distribution facility located within CIAL’s Dakota Park. Structex provided structural and architectural design services in delivering the 2000m² warehouse, accompanying plant rooms and truck docking facilities. The development also includes a single storey office, designed by Sheppard & Rout. Structex worked closely with Apollo Projects and the tenant, Martin Brower, in order to meet the structural and fitout requirements of the tenant.

The high performance dual-system floor slabs are steel fibre reinforced and joint-free to accommodate racking and wheeled traffic point loads up to 7 tonnes. The internal floor slabs are also designed to meet a very flat ACI classification. Other design features include large clear span truss frames to maximize working area and the comprehensive use of Kingspan PIR panel throughout the coldstore.

Yealands Estate Winery, Marlborough

Completion: 2019

Construction: T&D Construction

To accommodate the large volumes of grape marc produced each vintage, Structex was engaged early 2018 by Yealands Estate Winery to design a new storage facility. The first stage of the development consists of an impressive 80m long x 26m wide building capable of storing some 10,000m³ of material. A large steel framed roof structure sits above an unrestrained and joint-less steel fibre reinforced slab. The high performance 40MPa slab slopes to perimeter precast walls allowing leachate to drain and be placed in large storage tanks alongside it. Significant efforts were made in the detailing to enhance durability and accommodate the very high exposure category from both the leachate and close proximity to the coastline.

Dakota Park, Christchurch Airport

Completion: 2015

Architecture: Noel Strez Architects

Construction: Hanham & Philp

Structex was engaged by Christchurch International Airport Limited to provide structural engineering expertise for this manufacturing and administration facility. The 3600m2 warehouse features a bespoke 20m high section to house the tenant’s unique manufacturing equipment but was designed to be easily removed to provide future flexibility for the landlord.

Collaboration between parties was key contributor to the success of the project through: sharing of 3D models between Structex and the architect, significantly improving co-ordination; discussion with preferred contractors on construction sequence and materials during design phase; sharing structural model with steel fabricator to reduce lead time on critical path element.
