Requirements:
EDC were engaged to provide a structural solution for the alteration, extension and remediation repairs to an existing Auckland CBD 10th storey penthouse.

Challenges:

•  Limited access – via a lift.
• The need to use all lightweight materials as much as possible.
• An existing membrane to the deck that was leaking.
• Having to incorporate the new structure within the confines of the existing penthouse.

Challenges Met:
Whilst calculations provide a lot of answers to the problems in the situation, EDC provided a solution consisting of composite/steel portal frames that could be brought up in the lift and fabricated on the rooftop relatively simply.
