Frankton seismic strengthening

Frankton, Hamilton · 2024

A 1960s two-storey brought to 80% NBS while the ground floor kept trading.

An unreinforced masonry building with retail below and offices above, assessed at 22% NBS and facing a notice. Steel portal frames through the upper floor, foundation underpinning at eleven points, and every column installed through a hole cut in a shop's ceiling overnight and made good before opening. 80% NBS, producer statements issued, and the tenant downstairs missed one trading day.
