Building Upgrade, Auckland
It was decided that the most cost effective way to build a 4 story building in Takapuna was to take the existing 2 story building, and just add 2 more stories.
To do this, the base foundations needed upgrading with multiple 12m deep piles which needed to be constructed in the ground level car park under 3.2m of head height.
Drilling was done using our TC7 drill rig, and the steel reinforcing cage was constructed in sections in place.
