Join the Engineering New Zealand Canterbury Heritage Chapter for a guided walking tour through central Ōtautahi Christchurch, exploring the engineering behind some of the city’s best-known heritage places.
Over approximately two hours, engineers will lead small groups through the central city, stopping at a range of heritage buildings, monuments and structures to discuss their history, structural systems, earthquake damage, strengthening and repair. At selected sites, engineers directly involved in the projects will share insights into the challenges, decisions and solutions behind conserving significant places while making them safe and useful for the future.
The route takes in a broad cross-section of Christchurch’s built heritage, including sites around the Arts Centre, Cathedral Square, Bridge of Remembrance and Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings.
Four groups of up to 15 people will depart at 10-minute intervals from 10am. Allow approximately two hours for the walk, with the overall event running from 10am to 12.30pm.
