Nelson House Facade Support

The Grouting Services team has commenced ground support works for the Nelson House facade as part of the NZICC project. An innovative solution that incorporates low strength concrete and BluGeo GRP bars was proposed by Grouting Services as a value added solution. This was designed by partner CMW Geosciences and incorporates a row of 300mm dia piles that underpin a supporting capping beam. The capping beam in turn supports a superstructure that provides lateral restraint to the existing facade and will remain in place while the building is demolished and the basement excavated for the NZICC.
