The Project

The new facility comprises four podium levels & two seven storey towers: Including an emergency department, operating theatres, an intensive care unit expansion, children’s facilities, radiology department and a rooftop helipad.
VAE were engaged by CPB on a construct only basis including lead services coordination for all services. VAE provided drafting in full 3D Revit, with VAE providing Navisworks clash detection to coordinate all mechanical services with other trades. The site design was reviewed by VAE engineers to ensure buildability and efficient on-site logistics. VAE was also engaged to take on the coordination and drafting for the hydraulics and fire trades. VAE utilised local Christchurch tradespeople for major components of the installation.

Key Achievements

Contact Us

01

Provision of suitable seismic restraint solution that achieved the required IL4 compliance. Noting compliance was based upon achieving a holistic building solution & not simply addressing individual packages

02

Mechanical, Fire and Hydraulic drafting and engineering (Including clash detection) as well as implementation of BIM360 to provide the on-site engineering manager with real time design documentation on site via a tablet

03

Prefabrication of major ductwork risers off-site, then craned into position in complete sections; this process not only saved time on site but reduced the installation risks due to the size and complexity of the services risers

04

Collaborating with equipment suppliers to ensure their systems shake-tabled tested in accordance with the NZS4219 and NZS1170.5. In all cases the suppliers we worked with had never undertaken this testing before, and relied heavily on our engineering team to guide them through
