Earthquake Strengthening Project for Hospital Building Structural Works

TThe CDHB has been through a Registration of Interest (ROI) process for the works and have shortlisted four construction companies. We are looking to source the safest, most competent and most cost-effective construction company from the four respondents to execute the works.

Ultimately this section of the building has been highlighted as earthquake prone and in need of strengthening, so the works need to be completed according to the design, with guidance from Holmes the structural engineers and approval from Christchurch City Council, as the works are consented. The project brief will include: � Working in and around a live hospital environment.

� Structural strengthening to the building as designed by the Structural Engineer to achieve a minimum of 34% NBS (IL3). � Majority of works undertaking within service riser (7 floors). � Works within riser at each floor will require fixing 9 number SHS75x5 steel ties at each floor level with end plates bolted fixings to wall each end. Length of each tie roughly 2 metres. � Minor steelwork at lift foyer.

� Some existing services will require movement to allow steel fixings, these may include high voltage power, ITS, water, and gasses.
