This is a rare opportunity to step inside the Canterbury Museum redevelopment – one of New Zealand's largest and most complex heritage construction projects currently underway on Rolleston Ave. The museum's major redevelopment includes a base-isolated new building and basement.
The visit will begin outside the site entrance/site office on Rolleston Avenue, so please arrive on time and ready to go. Structural Engineers from Holmes will walk the group through the site, offering insight into the engineering and construction involved in delivering a project of this scale and with heritage sensitivity.
Following the site tour, we'll go to a local bar for a drink – a great chance to connect with other professionals.
This event is a fantastic opportunity for engineers, construction professionals, and anyone with a passion for built heritage and innovative structural design. Spaces are limited, so register early to secure your spot.
PPE Required: Hard hat, hi-vis vest, safety boots and safety glasses.
