Thorburns have work as Lead Consultant and Structural Engineers for the new fit out storage facility in Mt. Wellington and are completing structural designs for various new storage facility’s throughout the North Island
Thorburn Consultants provide structural designs for the new 5000m2 Logistics warehouse including 1500m2 canopy. The building has a 40m clear span portal and post tensioned concrete slab and 18m high precast fire walls. This building was a finalists in the 2020 New Zealand Property Council Awards.
Located in Epsom the new two level aged care facility is over 2000m2. Constructed with shallow concrete foundations, concrete shear walls and suspended concrete floors. The glazed entry lobby and lounge rooms were designed with light weight steel to allow the structure to be counseled behind the glazing mullions and vanish in the light filled rooms.
Thorburns completed structural engineering for the office and warehouse for Verissimo Cranes. The entry lobby and stairs with precast concrete and aluminum cladding conceal the warehouse building behind.
Thorburn Consultants were structural engineers for the new food manufacturing, packing and warehouse facility for Tasti Products. The site was enclosed on three sides by existing buildings and public services and an overland flow path crossed the site. Poor ground conditions required remediation and 600 dia. grouted impact piers on a 3 x 3m grid to support the foundations and post tensioned slab were used.
Working with Envirowaste we developed the layout for their new Hazardous Waste Treatment upgrade for the site in Miami Parade. The new development included Chemical Treatment Building, Main Process Building and support of tanks and plant.
Ground conditions required the buildings and slabs to be supported off driven timber piles. The main process building was designed with steel portal frames, precast concrete push pull walls and a concrete slab suspended off the timber piles. Inground concrete receiving pits and a separator pit were incorporated into the main process building.
