Date Completed: 2010
Budget: $2.2M
Location: Glenduan, Nelson
Client: Cawthron
Role: Project Management & Quantity Surveying Services
New offices and staff facilities extension to the existing Cawthron Aquaculture Park situated just north of Nelson beside the historic boulder bank. This project is situated on very poor ground (soft clay to a depth in excess of 20m). Rather than proceed with expensive ground preparation works such as preloading or piling, it was decided to design a very light structure that could float on a raft foundation. This is a specialised marine facility in close proximity to the sea.
