These modules have been installed for various art, music, hospitality and office functions in the Christchurch CBD. The modules have provided temporary spaces that have been an essential part of maintaining activities in Christchurch city following the Canterbury earthquakes. They have allowed useful spaces to be quickly installed on sites where buildings have been demolished. The image above shows an variation of the modules that provides a unique sound chamber. This innovative structure consists of a two-way catenary steel grid supporting plywood anechoic baffles which also provide permanent formwork for a concrete roof. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53c8a271e4b0945af87a6566/1476156718892/_MG_9518.jpg ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Don Beaven Medical Research Centre, 40 Stewart Street, Christchurch Project Cost: $2.5M Architect: Richard Proko Ltd Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: This medical research facility is a three-storey commercial building completed in 2010. Designed before the Canterbury earthquakes, the building performed well and remained fully functional throughout the earthquake sequence. The facility was officially opened in September 2011 by Prime Minister John Key and includes a centre of excellence to study diabetes in New Zealand. Construction is of ductile concrete frames with concrete rib & infill and unispan flooring, precast concrete walls and roof level steel portal frames. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/54041cdae4b0f888a3518512/1476157537905/Art+Gallery+1A.jpg ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit Project Project Cost: $20M Client: Fulton Hogan Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson, Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions was chosen by contractor Fulton Hogan as structural design engineers on one of the largest and most complex projects completed by Ruamoko to date - the seismic retrofit of the landmark Christchurch Art Gallery building with base isolators. The project involved the installation of 140 triple-curvature friction pendulum bearings below the ground floor of the existing Art Gallery Building. These base isolation bearings significantly reduce the seismic actions transferred to the building in an earthquake, greatly improving the expected performance of the building and its valuable artwork in earthquakes. The base isolation design ensures that the building can move up to 550mm in each direction during a large earthquake. The actions from the isolators, including the large eccentricities, induce significant actions on the existing structure different to its original design. The retrofit covered a wide range of column strengthening, beam strengthening, wall strengthening, seismic joint rattle spaces, cover plates, suspended lifts and stairs and many other unique aspects. Together with the tight timeframe and construction constraints, the project provided many structural challenges for the Ruamoko Solutions team and required a high level of innovation and specialist knowledge. Ruamoko Solutions won a Silver Award at the 2016 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence for their work on this project. Grant Wilkinson was project director for the original construction of the Christchurch Art Gallery project whilst a director at Holmes Consulting Group in 2003. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53ffebf8e4b0c3314cbc5e97/1409792307417/RussleyHall.jpg ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Russley Primary School Hall and Multi-purpose Facility, Christchurch Project Cost: $2.5M Architect: Ian Krause Architects Ltd Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: This project consists of an assembly hall and multi-purpose rooms spread over a 1,000 square metre footprint. Construction included structural steel portal frames, concrete block, and conventional foundations. The facility has been highly successful and a welcome addition to the school and its community. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53c8a061e4b06d1cfa9af634/1476156650646/Pano6.jpg ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Cashmere High Sports Facility, Christchurch Project Cost: $3M Architect: Ian Krause Architects Ltd Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: This building was completed just before the recent Canterbury earthquakes. Ruamoko Solutions proposed that given the high liquefaction potential in the area, this building incorporated a lightweight re-levelable floor on a gravel raft. While the surrounding area experienced significant surface liquefaction in the earthquakes, the building was able to be immediately used and proved to be a successful facility for the school. Other innovations were sub-slab tie downs to make use of the weight of the gravel raft to minimise foundation size, and precast foundations which allowed for rapid construction. The building features a netball court, several basketball courts, grandstand facilities and changing and learning areas. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/540f803ee4b0345bd3de9f6e/1484522090314/Russley+Village.JPG ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Russley Village - Blocks A, B, C, D, E, F, Christchurch Project Cost: $50M (total) Architect: Dalman Architecture Ltd, ASC Architects Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions has a long history of work on this project, having completed six large blocks of retirement accommodation with a combined value of approximately $50 million.

As the building is immediately adjacent to the Christchurch Estuary, Ruamoko elected to found this precast wall and rib & infill floor building on a gravel raft, which proved a great solution as it remained occupied and functional in an area where many buildings were demolished following the devastating Lyttelton Earthquake which had its epicentre not more than 3km from the buildings location. This project features a floor designed for gymnasium purposes and various copper feature walls. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53faba41e4b0ce4d05e7bb64/1476157934228/ ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Student Services Building Strengthening, University of Canterbury, Christchurch Project Cost: $2.5M Architect: Warren & Mahoney Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions was engaged to seismically assess and strengthen the two-storey former physical sciences library at the University of Canterbury. As part of a larger refurbishment of the building, it was decided to strengthen the building in two phases, the low-strength ground floor columns and the remaining structure. The innovative and cost-effective solution to strengthen the ground floor columns used a glass fibre wrap (Fibre Reinforced Polymer or FRP) around the tops and bottoms of the columns to increase the ductility available to the columns, and therefore increase the building’s resilience. The work was completed days prior to the September 2010 earthquake. Flexural cracking of fibres at the tops and bottoms of the columns was observed, confirming that the strengthening had performed well and had significantly reduced damage to the building. Following the successful FRP strengthening, the remainder of the building and level 2 link bridge to another building was strengthened as part of building alterations and refurbishment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53fabb9ae4b06aa2bfc665fb/1476156514248/Mt+Pleasant.JPG ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Mt Pleasant School Redevelopment, Christchurch Project Cost: $2.5M Architect: Wilkie + Bruce Architects Ltd Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions carried out the structural design for three new school buildings at Mt Pleasant School. The buildings included 10 classrooms, shared rooms and amenities, a new administration block, offices, staff room, and library. The single-storey construction was of precast panel end walls, steel portal and cantilever post design for seismic loads, lightweight timber bracing, steel roof rafters and ‘doughnut’ shaped ceiling bracing diaphragms. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53fa9a8ee4b04ee49aa53fec/1473027845254/ ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Angus Tait Building Strengthening, University of Canterbury, Christchurch Project Cost: $2.5M Architect: Warren & Mahoney Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: Following the successful work carried out by Ruamoko Solutions on the Primary Data Centre at the University of Canterbury, they were then commissioned to strengthen to Importance Level 3 (IL3) the oldest building on the Ilam Campus to serve as the secondary Data Centre. This strengthening required innovative approaches such as "horseshoe" clips to frames, and tanked subterranean foundation beams to spread seismic load to existing piles. These strengthening methods were successfully implemented to so they were minimally intrusive to this iconic building which was one of the first on campus to be strengthened post-earthquake. This building won an award in the Heritage Category at the 2015 New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards, and won a Merit Award at the 2016 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/53facc8fe4b02e1724af8b3b/1476156678497/NZBlood_Photo.jpg ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - NZ Blood Service Building, Christchurch Project Cost: $15M Architect: Wilkie + Bruce Architects Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: This prominent building in central Christchurch sits adjacent to the Blenheim Road overpass and Moorhouse Avenue intersection. Due for completion in August 2014, this highly serviced building features innovative sub-slab tension tie-downs to provide economical foundations by using weight of the gravel raft to prevent large conventional foundations above the raft. This project won a Gold Award at the 2015 New Zealand Commercial Project Awards. The awards are an annual celebration of excellence in commercial construction. In addition, the building won a Judges Choice Award at the 2015 Property Council NZ Southern Excellence awards, and was a finalist in the 2015 ACENZ Innovate NZ Awards of Excellence (click here for more information). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000395e4b03ccb086c580a/540f803be4b0345bd3de9f6b/1490040327940/Wesley2.JPG ProjectsEducationHealthCommunity - Wesley Care Resthome - Stages 1 and 2, Harewood Road, Christchurch Project Cost: $12M Architect: Foley Group Architecture Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: This large two-storey retirement accommodation includes residential living, administration and community facilities, chapel areas and amenities.

As some staff members were trained in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), they immediately were put to use as part of the combined Christchurch City Council/Civil Defence reconnaissance team. They remained working for the Civil Defence for weeks after the earthquakes, using their specialist knowledge and expertise to assess and stabilise critical buildings such as the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Education House, Copthorne Hotel, and they managed to provide a scheme to save the landmark Jubilee Clock tower. This voluntary work by Ruamoko Solutions resulted in several staff members being awarded the 2011 IPENZ Fulton Downer Presidents Gold Medal Award. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000b93e4b0050e5d3394af/54041bf2e4b0f72d40b9d12e/1409889388202/mm+Mt+Peel.JPG Projects Earthquake & Strengthening - Mount Peel Homestead Station Strengthening, Canterbury Architect: Wilkie + Bruce Architects Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: The Mount Peel Station Homestead is a large two-storey brick building constructed in several stages from the late 1800s. Strengthening involved discrete in situ concrete timber diaphragm to wall connections through the brick wythes, roof and ceiling bracing diaphragms, large brick chimney steel support, and helifix ties between the outer double brick wythes and inner single brick veneer. The strengthening work was constrained by on-site conditions and the building’s heritage rating. However, it was completed successfully and with little damage in the 2010/11 Canterbury earthquakes. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000b93e4b0050e5d3394af/5404e1ade4b08ed37aad5aeb/1476157687897/IMG_0733.JPG Projects Earthquake & Strengthening - Ashburton Clocktower Strengthening, Ashburton Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: This iconic 1976 clock tower is a unique structure that features four slender post-tensioned concrete columns and elevated belfry levels. Seismic strengthening involved glass fibre wrapping the top and bottom 600mm of the four concrete columns with two layers of glass fibre fabric. At the same time, the elevated belfry slab was strengthened by application of carbon laminate “bands” to all four sides of the slab with L-plates at the slab edges providing flexural anchorage connection between the top and bottom faces of the slab. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000b93e4b0050e5d3394af/54041bd8e4b0f72d40b9d10e/1476157585661/Art+Gallery+2A.jpg Projects Earthquake & Strengthening - Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit Project Project Cost: $20M Client: Fulton Hogan Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson, Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions was chosen by contractor Fulton Hogan as structural design engineers on one of the largest and most complex projects completed by Ruamoko to date - the seismic retrofit of the landmark Christchurch Art Gallery building with base isolators. The project involved the installation of 140 triple-curvature friction pendulum bearings below the ground floor of the existing Art Gallery Building. These base isolation bearings significantly reduce the seismic actions transferred to the building in an earthquake, greatly improving the expected performance of the building and its valuable artwork in earthquakes. The base isolation design ensures that the building can move up to 550mm in each direction during a large earthquake. The actions from the isolators, including the large eccentricities, induce significant actions on the existing structure different to its original design. The retrofit covered a wide range of column strengthening, beam strengthening, wall strengthening, seismic joint rattle spaces, cover plates, suspended lifts and stairs and many other unique aspects. Together with the tight timeframe and construction constraints, the project provided many structural challenges for the Ruamoko Solutions team and required a high level of innovation and specialist knowledge. Ruamoko Solutions won a Silver Award at the 2016 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence for their work on this project. Grant Wilkinson was project director for the original construction of the Christchurch Art Gallery project whilst a director at Holmes Consulting Group in 2003. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000b93e4b0050e5d3394af/54041b06e4b0a8b3682a2ed1/1409888906210/st_elmo___22+june+flat.jpg Projects Earthquake & Strengthening - Wynn Williams House, Christchurch (St Elmo Courts) Project Cost: $15M Architect: Richard Proko Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: Wynn Williams House is a pioneering new central Christchurch office building using a combination of structural seismic technology never used before anywhere in the world. While the structural elements in the building have been used before, it is the specific combination of methods chosen for the six-storey building that make it unique. The multiple layers of innovation include the use of lead-rubber base isolators, novel tension tie downs at the building corners and use of a post-tensioned frame structure with LVL timber beams and precast concrete columns. The building replaces the former St Elmo Courts building on the corner of Hereford and Montreal Streets which was badly damaged in the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. For the owner, a resilient a building was a must. The combined use of the structural elements means that the building will survive a 100% code earthquake (1-in-500 year event) with little or no structural damage and will remain safe and stable in a 1-in-2,500 year earthquake event. Despite the innovation present in the building, it remains a very cost-effective building.

It was also the first building in Christchurch to utilise steel screw-piles post earthquake. Strengthening involved steel shear "collars" and fibre-wrapping existing columns, strengthening the shear-core using self-compacting concrete, and the complete undermining and re-support of all columns and foundations onto new 10m deep screw piles which were installed under this existing building. These were highly innovative techniques which have set a benchmark for this type of work. The strengthening scheme resulted in a new lease of life for this prominently located mid-1980s era building which would have otherwise been demolished. In addition to the strengthening work, Ruamoko carried out a significant two-bay extension to the west of this building. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000b93e4b0050e5d3394af/5403cdebe4b02005531c5d65/1476157705621/Jubilee.jpg Projects Earthquake & Strengthening - Jubilee Clocktower Strengthening, Christchurch CBD Project Cost: $1M Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: Following the recent Canterbury earthquakes, this landmark clock tower was earmarked for demolition. Grant Wilkinson proposed both a temporary and permanent strengthening scheme which involved careful support while a concrete base and legs were constructed.

As some staff members were trained in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), they immediately were put to use as part of the combined Christchurch City Council/Civil Defence reconnaissance team. They remained working for the Civil Defence for weeks after the earthquakes, using their specialist knowledge and expertise to assess and stabilise critical buildings such as the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Education House, Copthorne Hotel, and they managed to provide a scheme to save the landmark Jubilee Clock tower. This voluntary work by Ruamoko Solutions resulted in several staff members being awarded the 2011 IPENZ Fulton Downer Presidents Gold Medal Award. http://www.ruamoko.co.nz/projectsartsculpture daily 0.75 2017-11-29 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/540003cee4b03ccb086c5839/53f5607de4b080743c2845cd/1475552595792/Feather1+sma.jpg ProjectsArtSculpture - "Feather from Afar" Sculpture, Shanghai, China Sculptor: Neil Dawson Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: Set against the skyline of Shanghai, this elegant piece by one of Christchurch's most prominent sculptors contrasts starkly with its surroundings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/540003cee4b03ccb086c5839/54041cafe4b0f888a35184f3/1476157568184/Art+Gallery+1A.jpg ProjectsArtSculpture - Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit Project Project Cost: $20M Client: Fulton Hogan Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson, Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions was chosen by contractor Fulton Hogan as structural design engineers on one of the largest and most complex projects completed by Ruamoko to date - the seismic retrofit of the landmark Christchurch Art Gallery building with base isolators. The project involved the installation of 140 triple-curvature friction pendulum bearings below the ground floor of the existing Art Gallery Building. These base isolation bearings significantly reduce the seismic actions transferred to the building in an earthquake, greatly improving the expected performance of the building and its valuable artwork in earthquakes. The base isolation design ensures that the building can move up to 550mm in each direction during a large earthquake. The actions from the isolators, including the large eccentricities, induce significant actions on the existing structure different to its original design. The retrofit covered a wide range of column strengthening, beam strengthening, wall strengthening, seismic joint rattle spaces, cover plates, suspended lifts and stairs and many other unique aspects. Together with the tight timeframe and construction constraints, the project provided many structural challenges for the Ruamoko Solutions team and required a high level of innovation and specialist knowledge. Ruamoko Solutions won a Silver Award at the 2016 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence for their work on this project. Grant Wilkinson was project director for the original construction of the Christchurch Art Gallery project whilst a director at Holmes Consulting Group in 2003. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/540003cee4b03ccb086c5839/53facf9ee4b0a720a051f826/1409792522167/lenny.jpg ProjectsArtSculpture - Sky Lens Sculpture, Cashel Street, Christchurch CBD Sculptor: Neil Dawson Project Director: Grant Wilkinson Project Description: A successful but unfortunately short-lived sculpture over Cashel Mall in Christchurch, Sky Lens was an aluminium sculpture suspended between three buildings in central Christchurch.

This earlier strengthening work performed well and ultimately prevented the collapse of this building in the Canterbury earthquakes and has allowed it to continue to remain an iconic part of the built environment in Christchurch. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000363e4b0050e5d338b9d/53aafc05e4b0a0cb5bb1d8c2/1409791694069/I4_HQW4E2NYNS_Kn60j4bx0IAcgs-8ja0YGUhr7ZXHQ.jpg ProjectsCommercial - Brown & Glassford House, 504 Wairakei Road, Christchurch Project Cost: $4M Architect: Richard Proko Ltd Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: This building was one of the first in Christchurch to be designed to new post-earthquake design standards. The building features moment-resisting frames in the longitudinal direction, and concrete shear walls in the transverse direction. The architect originally designed the building with internal columns, but by utilising long-span precast flooring, Ruamoko Solutions eliminated the columns. This was a great benefit to the building owner as it allowed unobstructed carparking to the ground floor and extra flexibility for the tenants. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000363e4b0050e5d338b9d/53f3dd69e4b068e9905ae78f/1476157506809/Art+Gallery+1A.jpg ProjectsCommercial - Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit Project Project Cost: $20M Client: Fulton Hogan Ltd Project Director: Grant Wilkinson, Cameron MacPherson Project Description: Ruamoko Solutions was chosen by contractor Fulton Hogan as structural design engineers on one of the largest and most complex projects completed by Ruamoko to date - the seismic retrofit of the landmark Christchurch Art Gallery building with base isolators. The project involved the installation of 140 triple-curvature friction pendulum bearings below the ground floor of the existing Art Gallery Building. These base isolation bearings significantly reduce the seismic actions transferred to the building in an earthquake, greatly improving the expected performance of the building and its valuable artwork in earthquakes. The base isolation design ensures that the building can move up to 550mm in each direction during a large earthquake. The actions from the isolators, including the large eccentricities, induce significant actions on the existing structure different to its original design. The retrofit covered a wide range of column strengthening, beam strengthening, wall strengthening, seismic joint rattle spaces, cover plates, suspended lifts and stairs and many other unique aspects. Together with the tight timeframe and construction constraints, the project provided many structural challenges for the Ruamoko Solutions team and required a high level of innovation and specialist knowledge. Ruamoko Solutions won a Silver Award at the 2016 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence for their work on this project. Grant Wilkinson was project director for the original construction of the Christchurch Art Gallery project whilst a director at Holmes Consulting Group in 2003. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000363e4b0050e5d338b9d/54041835e4b02005531cb7d4/1409888251941/Pano_3.jpg ProjectsCommercial - R&R Sport / Mountain Designs / Amazon - 65 Blenheim Road Retail Development, Christchurch Project Cost: $5M Architect: The Buchan Group Christchurch Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: This large two-storey retail building is located at the entry to the Tower Junction shopping centre on Blenheim Road.

Concrete perimeter panels to the lift shaft have been specially detailed to be non-participatory in the seismic load resisting system by way of rocking base details and vertical sliding allowance at panel joints. Long-span hollowcore floors ensure a flexible and multi-use column free floor plate at all levels. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000363e4b0050e5d338b9d/53aafc04e4b0a0cb5bb1d8bb/1476157815516/iVSO4yuNASj2n2xnfUCnN683J9ZuUmFPKLq48zAG06Q.jpg ProjectsCommercial - Woohoo Office Building, 1 Durham Street Christchurch Project Cost: $3M Architect: Noordanus Architects Ltd Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: This was one of the first buildings in Christchurch to be strengthened following the Canterbury earthquakes. It was also the first building in Christchurch to utilise steel screw-piles post earthquake. Strengthening involved steel shear "collars" and fibre-wrapping existing columns, strengthening the shear-core using self-compacting concrete, and the complete undermining and re-support of all columns and foundations onto new 10m deep screw piles which were installed under this existing building. These were highly innovative techniques which have set a benchmark for this type of work. The strengthening scheme resulted in a new lease of life for this prominently located mid-1980s era building which would have otherwise been demolished. In addition to the strengthening work, Ruamoko carried out a significant two-bay extension to the west of this building. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000363e4b0050e5d338b9d/53aafc05e4b0a0cb5bb1d8bf/1476155187237/_7KDnTttU7zi0Tl7JwhiTknDlWxCj9r5zBxf9Vtb5Nw%252CYIskXqpkMPxp7wuj3DGi1QLfyFaqnCtS-bPh6NbmPK8.jpg ProjectsCommercial - Matthew Fraser House, 5 Sir William Pickering Drive, Christchurch Project Cost: $6M Architect: Richard Proko Ltd Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: Following the Canterbury earthquakes, there was a large demand for office building for newly displaced CBD tenants.

With 11,000 square metres of floor area, this award winning development incorporates two large office buildings and a carpark building. It is the first use in the world of replaceable-link Eccentric-braced frames (EBF's). This technology, which is based on 2010 Canadian Research, limits earthquake damage to "fuses" that protect the building from earthquake damage and can be replaced easily following earthquakes to allow occupancy to resume with minimal delay. The work carried out by Ruamoko Solutions has helped pave the way for the use of the technology in New Zealand, and Steel Construction New Zealand has published design guidelines for this system partially based on the experience with this project. Ruamoko Solutions won a 2014 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence and were finalists for the 2014 IPENZ Engineering Excellence Awards for their work on these buildings. In addition this project won a Silver Award at the 2016 NZ Commercial Project Awards, won a 2015 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Award for Commercial Architecture, won a Bronze Pin (Built Environment) at the 2014 Best Awards, and won a 2014 Property Council NZ Commercial Office Property Award.

While the structural elements in the building have been used before, it is the specific combination of methods chosen for the six-storey building that make it unique. The multiple layers of innovation include the use of lead-rubber base isolators, novel tension tie downs at the building corners and use of a post-tensioned frame structure with LVL timber beams and precast concrete columns. The building replaces the former St Elmo Courts building on the corner of Hereford and Montreal Streets which was badly damaged in the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. For the owner, a resilient a building was a must. The combined use of the structural elements means that the building will survive a 100% code earthquake (1-in-500 year event) with little or no structural damage and will remain safe and stable in a 1-in-2,500 year earthquake event. Despite the innovation present in the building, it remains a very cost-effective building. Ruamoko Solutions was a winner in the Engineering Excellence category at the 2015 NZ Wood Design Awards, and a Finalist in the Excellence in Engineered Wood Products at those awards also for this project. In addition, Ruamoko Solutions was a finalist in the 2015 ACENZ Innovate NZ Awards of Excellence for their work on this building (click here for more details).

As the site was on liquefiable soil immediately adjacent to the Christchurch Estuary, Ruamoko elected to found this precast wall and rib & infill floor building on a gravel raft, which proved a great solution, remaining occupied and functional in an area where many buildings were demolished following the devastating Lyttelton earthquake which had its epicentre not more than 2km from the buildings location. This project features a Bondor panel roof which is also used as a bracing diaphragm for the roof, eliminating the need for steel purlins, cross-bracing, and other supports, to provide an insulated finished ceiling with minimal complication. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000376e4b0050e5d338bb6/54041a50e4b0c1ca4c52af0c/1463004487099/IMG_1125.JPG ProjectsRetailHospitality - 819 Colombo Street, Christchurch CBD Project Cost: $3M Architect: The Buchan Group Christchurch Project Director: Cameron MacPherson Project Description: The new mixed-use building on the corner of Colombo and Peterborough Streets makes good use of very limited site area.

These modules have been installed for various art, music, hospitality and office functions in the Christchurch CBD. The modules have provided temporary spaces that have been an essential part of maintaining activities in Christchurch city following the Canterbury earthquakes. They have allowed useful spaces to be quickly installed on sites where buildings have been demolished. The image above shows an variation of the modules that provides a unique sound chamber. This innovative structure consists of a two-way catenary steel grid supporting plywood anechoic baffles which also provide permanent formwork for a concrete roof. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/54000376e4b0050e5d338bb6/540419eae4b087d8052ae08e/1476155836089/Three35+3.jpg ProjectsRetailHospitality - Three35 Lincoln Road Development, Christchurch Project Cost: $30M Architect: Jasmax Project Director: Julian Ramsay Project Description: Following the recent Canterbury earthquake sequence, these buildings were designed to meet the demand from the owners to have a building that can be re-occupied with minimal delay following an earthquake. With 11,000 square metres of floor area, this award winning development incorporates two large office buildings and a carpark building. It is the first use in the world of replaceable-link Eccentric-braced frames (EBF's). This technology, which is based on 2010 Canadian Research, limits earthquake damage to "fuses" that protect the building from earthquake damage and can be replaced easily following earthquakes to allow occupancy to resume with minimal delay. The work carried out by Ruamoko Solutions has helped pave the way for the use of the technology in New Zealand, and Steel Construction New Zealand has published design guidelines for this system partially based on the experience with this project. Ruamoko Solutions won a 2014 ACENZ Innovate NZ Award of Excellence and were finalists for the 2014 IPENZ Engineering Excellence Awards for their work on these buildings. In addition this project won a Silver Award at the 2016 NZ Commercial Project Awards, won a 2015 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Award for Commercial Architecture, won a Bronze Pin (Built Environment) at the 2014 Best Awards, and won a 2014 Property Council NZ Commercial Office Property Award.

While the structural elements in the building have been used before, it is the specific combination of methods chosen for the six-storey building that make it unique. The multiple layers of innovation include the use of lead-rubber base isolators, novel tension tie downs at the building corners and use of a post-tensioned frame structure with LVL timber beams and precast concrete columns. The building replaces the former St Elmo Courts building on the corner of Hereford and Montreal Streets which was badly damaged in the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. For the owner, a resilient a building was a must. The combined use of the structural elements means that the building will survive a 100% code earthquake (1-in-500 year event) with little or no structural damage and will remain safe and stable in a 1-in-2,500 year earthquake event. Despite the innovation present in the building, it remains a very cost-effective building. Ruamoko Solutions was a winner in the Engineering Excellence category at the 2015 NZ Wood Design Awards, and a Finalist in the Excellence in Engineered Wood Products at those awards also for this project.

Grant Wilkinson was project director for the first intentional use of Shinbashira walls on the AA Building in Christchurch’s Latimer Square when he was a director of Holmes Consulting Group. It is highly probable that intervention saved this building from collapse in the 22nd February 2011 Lyttelton earthquake. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/53f3bf98e4b049ab3647b58e/53f3c34de4b036d5df24efea/1496980279925/img_Triple_PendulumTM_bearing.jpg Innovation Images - Watch This Space – Future Innovation We are constantly looking for ways to design and construct buildings to get the best value for our clients. We are strong advocates of continuously improving our designs, details and documentation to benefit our clients and their projects. We are looking out for buildings that would benefit from the use of double and triple-curvature sliding pendulum base isolation bearings. This well-proven technology is ideally suited to the Canterbury rebuild, and is suitable for low-height buildings which have irregular floor plates. We have successfully utilised this technology on the recent Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit project. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/53f3bf98e4b049ab3647b58e/53f3c1bfe4b0f0e534fb0fa3/1490040933838/img_Triple_PendulumTM_bearing.jpg Innovation Images - Base-Isolation Ruamoko Solutions has designed the six-storey Wynn Williams House in Christchurch using 16 lead-rubber base-isolation bearings. This is the first building to be base-isolated after the destructive Canterbury earthquake sequence. Ruamoko Solutions was a winner in the Engineering Excellence category at the 2015 NZ Wood Design Awards, and a Finalist in the Excellence in Engineered Wood Products at those awards also for this project. In addition, Ruamoko Solutions was a finalist in the 2015 ACENZ Innovate NZ Awards of Excellence for their work on this project. Click here for more information. In addition, Ruamoko Solutions has recently worked closely with Fulton Hogan to retrofit the Christchurch Art Gallery with 140 triple-curvature friction pendulum base-isolators. This complex project was the first retrofit use of this type of base-isolation in Christchurch. Grant Wilkinson was project director for the base-isolated Christchurch Women’s Hospital, the first base isolated building in the South Island, when he was a director of Holmes Consulting Group. Grant also specified the base-isolation system for Parliament Buildings in Wellington. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/53f3bf98e4b049ab3647b58e/57fc64a0ebbd1a6c74aa8256/1476158689972/ee+DSCF0742.JPG Innovation Images - Building Information Modeling (BIM) In addition to traditional Computer Aided Draughting (CAD) software, Ruamoko Solutions have recognised early that the traditional approach to draughting is changing. We have made a significant investment in the latest “best practice” Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, and employed experienced staff and trained others specifically in this technology. We are dedicated to being able to be part of the exciting opportunities that BIM offers. This software has been the key to the success of projects such as the Christchurch Art Gallery Base-Isolation Retrofit project, where complex solutions were required, and a “one-size fits all” approach was not applicable. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53a3bc62e4b0066351f64680/53f3bf98e4b049ab3647b58e/593a18226a49636441789be6/1496979974422/Cath+Grammar+1.jpg Innovation Images - CNC cut LVL Timber The Cathedral Grammar Junior School structure comprises a fully interlocking CNC cut LVL timber structure which arrived on site ready to assemble.
