Judges were impressed with the PwC Centre base isolation foundation design, which is world-leading in terms of structural engineering design. The building has also met an NBS / Seismic rating of 180%.
The project team faced numerous challenges, including below sea level conditions, the installation of 1,200 Continuous Flight Augured piles (a first in NZ) and designing to a five Star Green rating.
Despite all the challenges, the building was completed on time, and within forecasted budgets.
This team work particularly impressed the judges. It demonstrated a great level of trust, collaboration and a high standard of workmanship across all trades.
The completed building was a credit to all involved and shows how a team approach will always provide a winning result.
