Aria Bay – Stage 2

Aria Bay – Stage 2
Progress as we lift to Level 1
Aria Bay is a retirement village located in Browns Bay, Auckland. It is exciting to see Level 1 taking form during our recent construction monitoring visit to site. Level 1 is part of the two 5-storey apartment blocks and link structures that form the last stage of this development, following completion of the Care Wings in 2020. The existing structures on site will be connected to the new facility through complex elevated link structures over several levels.
Structus are pleased to be continuing to work with Arvida, JTB Architects and NZ Strong on this project.

Site Visits

Recently, the team took the opportunity to visit a couple of our sites that are in the Construction phase.  This is a great opportunity for our engineers and drafters to see the works in progress that members of the project team have been working on.

Not only are these visits a fun team activity out of the office, but they are also a great learning experience for everyone not involved in the project on site.  Being out of the office and seeing the months of design transformed into structure is very rewarding and informative.

We visited an example of our Industrial work – Island Units Development in Highbrook (a striking architectural design of 6 no. adjoining plus a single standalone warehouses and associated offices for each warehouse).  We also visited a two of our Residential sites in Glenn Innes and East Tamaki where Structus are delivering over 80 no. 2 storey terraced housing dwellings, as part of the Tamaki Redevelopment Programme.

Eden View

The Structus team visited one of our projects last week for a site visit and some hard-earned time out of the office.  It is great to visit as a team to see the design and solutions, worked on tirelessly by our Engineers and Drafters, being built.

The Eden View project has seen construction completion of some challenging retaining, substructures and ground floor slabs, plus working around Covid-19 requirements.  Now there is a real buzz as the superstructure springs to life.

It is exciting to see two big tower cranes now on site (crane bases designed by Structus) and the steelwork erection proceeding at pace and even some of the brick embossed precast cladding panels starting to take shape.  The structure generally comprises precast double tee flooring on steel sway frames and steel concentrically braced frames (CBF’s), supported on concrete bored piles.

Great progress is being made with Ganellen running the site well and a smart project team involved.

Over the last couple of weeks, some of the team have taken the opportunity to visit a couple of our sites that are well through Construction phase.  This is a great opportunity for some of our engineers and drafters to see the works in progress that members of the project team have been working on.

Not only are these visits a fun team activity out of the office but they are also a great learning experience for everyone not involved in the project on site.  Being out of the office and seeing the months of design transformed into structure is very rewarding and informative.

We visited an example of our Aged Care work (Aria Bay) and two commercial Warehouse and Office space projects (El Kobar and Underwood 2500).
